  • Understanding Hormones: Navigating Menopause and Empowering Health
    Jan 9 2025

    Episode 52
    Hormones are more than just bodily regulators; they are the silent architects of our emotions and overall well-being. What if understanding them could transform your journey through menopause? This episode promises an enlightening exploration into the often-unspoken realm of menopause and hormonal shifts that women encounter in their 40s and 50s. With personal stories and experiences from clients, we unravel the lack of preparation many face due to the silence between generations and society's outdated perceptions of mid-life. We aim to redefine this stage as one of transition and potential, rather than decline, while acknowledging the historical mistreatment of women's health.

    Our conversation doesn't stop there; we take a detailed look at the menstrual cycle's impact on daily life. Sharing childbirth stories and cycle tracking experiences, we present practical insights into how women can manage their health more effectively. Teenage families, this is for you, too! By bringing sons into the conversation, we foster empathy, helping everyone understand the emotional and energetic ebbs and flows that accompany menstruation. We also highlight the importance of addressing irregular cycles for young women planning to start families, ensuring they are equipped with knowledge and support.

    In the final chapter, we navigate through the complexities of hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, focusing on their profound impact on mood and decision-making. With anecdotes that many will find relatable, such as the struggles with meal planning on low hormone days, we offer insights into the balancing act between estrogen and progesterone. Lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and stress management become tools for empowerment, allowing us to support hormone balance effectively. Join our Far Too Fabulous Facebook group to connect with others on this journey, share experiences, and find the support you need to embrace your hormonal health.

  • What's Normal? A Conversation About Food, Family, and Feeling Good
    Dec 12 2024

    Have you ever considered how your lifestyle choices might seem peculiar to others? Picture this: Julie's daughter, Rosie, at the stables, leaves everyone in shock when she mentions she’s never tasted fast food. This charming tale kicks off our exploration into the quirky world of eating habits and what society deems "normal." Catherine joins the conversation, and together, we chuckle over our guilty pleasures like the occasional McDonald's breakfast and reflect on how personal choices can flip societal norms on their head. Our discussion is a reminder that what feels right for one family might be a head-scratcher for another, and embracing these differences is what makes life flavorful.

    We turn our attention to the culinary battleground of takeout versus home cooking, weighing the pros and cons of convenience against nutritional value. Ever tried airport breakfasts or the satisfying warmth of a slow-cooked meal? We’ve got tales aplenty. With a special nod to vegetarian options, we navigate the often-overlooked world of pulses and lentils, celebrating their affordability and health benefits. And who could resist the charm of Saturday night "Scooby Snacks" or the simple joy of movement? As generations shift in their dietary habits, our conversation is a tribute to savoring mindful indulgences and cherishing the family traditions that bring us together.
