89 – The six lifestyle changes that support your hormones and health

Women are often told to choose between hormone treatment or lifestyle changes, when in reality the two work best together.
This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by GP and lifestyle medicine physician Dr Clare Nieland to explore how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management and social connection work alongside hormones to improve women’s health.
Together they discuss why lifestyle medicine is grounded in evidence rather than wellness trends, why preventing disease should be just as important as treating it and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can reduce inflammation, improve symptoms and lower the risk of future disease. They also explain why hormones are often the missing piece that enable women to make positive lifestyle changes in the first place.
Louise and Clare discuss:
• Why hormones and lifestyle medicine should work together, not be seen as alternatives
• The six pillars of lifestyle medicine and how they support women’s health
• Why reducing inflammation is key to preventing chronic disease
• How nutrition, strength training and sleep become even more important during menopause
• Why personalised care is more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach

This episode is an empowering conversation about taking control of your health, understanding how hormones and lifestyle work together and discovering the small changes that can make a meaningful difference to both your quality of life and your long-term health.
