In this monumental 100th episode of the Perimenopause Podcast, I'm sharing some really exciting news of why I'm changing EVERYTHING about my podcast AND business after 100 episodes. Having seen numerous women business owners suffer severe burnout due to hormonal imbalances caused by perimenopause, I've decided to narrow down my focus specifically to female entrepreneurs The upcoming episodes will introduce a brand-new, rebranded focus on the lifestyle factors affecting women's hormones, and less of the specific hormonal physiology. The podcast will provide insights on topics such as self-worth, family, past trauma, and how they impact women's hormonal health and wellness. I'll be bringing on some of my most loved experts to help you build your business in a holistic way, from health and wellness, to business strategy and everything in between. While this change may not be a perfect fit for all my current listeners, this hub will focus on high-achieving women to find comprehensive information and support during their perimenopause & entrepreneurial journey. This episode marks the beginning of a new era for the Perimenopause Podcast (soon to be rebranded), as well as my continued commitment to reaching and supporting as many women navigating these challenges as possible.

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 - 26min - 99 - 98: Is HRT The Answer To Perimenopause
While HRT offers substantial health benefits, there are some key considerations in determining if this is the right step for you. I've recently had a few questions around the use of HRT (yes, there has been a massive hype on social media about this) and I think it's important to see it as a short-term solution, not the ultimate fix, to hormonal imbalances. In this episode I discuss the important steps to consider when you think about 'fixing' your hormone imbalance during perimenopause and the key, foundational steps to take FIRST before considering any pharmaceutical drugs (which includes Hormone Replacement Therapy - HRT). I also mention some pretty helpful herbal remedies that I've used with my clients and on myself and that you should try also BEFORE considering HRT. If you would like to talk through your personalized health strategy, including supplements and herbal remedies, I'd love to help you determine what the best next step is for you.

Her guest, Jan Ditchfield, a business strategist, have received questions from her clients who are women in business and are asking these questions to Vandghie. Jan has experienced health challenges and become an advocate for health as part of a business strategy. Importance of Health in Business Vandghie emphasizes that health and business strategy are interconnected. Excellent business strategy and support are needed, but so is a health strategy. Question 1: Burnout vs. Rough Patch Rebecca asks how to distinguish between burnout and a rough patch in business. Burnout is complete mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion, leading to an inability to function normally. It's a culmination of a process, not a sudden event. Rough patches are common, but not addressing them can lead to burnout. It's crucial to be mindful of your body's signals and implement a wellness plan to prevent burnout. Question 2: Stress and Burnout Jennifer asks about stress and its role in burnout, along with how to manage it. Stress is a major contributor to burnout, especially when you lack tools and support to manage it. Healthy stress can be motivating, but stress without a recovery plan leads to burnout. Stress can be physiological (not eating, sleeping, or exercising enough) or emotional (worrying). Conclusion Vandghie emphasizes the importance of managing both physiological and emotional stress. Implementing systems and processes reduces mental stress. Listeners are encouraged to tune in next week for the full interview with Jan Ditchfield.

Make sure to download my free Energy Restore Kit here to assess your burnout risk and get practical recommendations to get rid of fatigue, overwhelm and burnout and get back to PEAK PERFORMANCE... Burnout, fatigue and overwhelm is common among high performing women. It's crucial to recognize the symptoms of fatigue before burnout makes it's home in your life. In this episode, I focus on: The 5 most common symptoms experienced by women in business: Fatigue and even burnout Anxiety Low mood or depression Weight gain, specifically around the midsection Bloating Stress is the leading cause of chronic illness. Chronically elevated cortisol levels due to constant stress can lead to a domino effect of health problems. However, stress is also an important aspect of business growth. We need stress to push ourselves and avoid complacency. The key is to have a recovery plan in place to manage stress and prevent burnout. When we experience stress without a recovery plan, our bodies are impacted in 5 major areas: Hormones (disrupted by high cortisol, leading to issues like low progesterone and testosterone) Inflammation in the gut and brain (contributing to anxiety, brain fog, and low mood) Decreased liver function and increased toxicity (leading to weight gain and fatigue) Decreased thyroid function and neurotransmitters (causing fatigue, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating) These issues can then lead to burnout, adrenal fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and other chronic conditions. It's important to address all of these affected areas to regain vitality. This can be done through stacking micro habits, which are small, easy-to-implement changes that can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. 4 Micro Habits to Help Prevent Burnout: Have breakfast within an hour of waking up, ideally containing protein. This helps regulate blood sugar and prevent cortisol spikes. Never have coffee or caffeine on an empty stomach. This can lead to major cortisol spikes and disrupt hormone regulation. End your day with a balanced dinner that includes some complex carbohydrates. This helps stabilize blood sugar and prepare your body for sleep. Master your sleep by going to bed before 10 pm whenever possible. Quality sleep is essential for cell repair and rejuvenation.

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 - 27min - 91 - 90: Why Female Entrepreneurs Need A Hormone Health Coach
For far too long, women have had to seperate their business from their wellbeing. But your un-wellness will reach a point where you can no longer play to those same rules. And I believe the future of successful female entrepreneurs include a well qualified and invested health strategist. Way too many women never reach the success goals in business that they set for themselves, because of the overwhelm and burnout that comes. We juggle parenting, marriage, business, social life and sometimes even aging parents. That leaves little to no room for taking care of ourselves. A qualified and experienced hormone health coach can be the missing link to scaling your business to multiple 6 figures and beyond. In this episode, I share the main reasons why I believe every female entrepreneur should consider partnering with a hormone health strategist. I'd love for you to get in touch with me, so send me an email at wellness@vandghie.com or book a free health strategy call here.

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 - 17min - 88 - 87: GP vs Functional Health Expert: Which To Consult And When?
So many women (including myself a few years ago) consult our doctors for everything health. We want to have better overall wellbeing, so the little niggly things concern us and we want to sort it out through consulting our GP. Most of the time however, your GP is unlikely to know what to do with you. And it's not because he/she is not worth their title, but because you're consulting the wrong health expert. In this episode, I highlight the main differences between a GP and Functional Health Expert (which is what I am).

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 - 22min - 70 - 69: Why Perimenopausal Women Need Health Coaching Instead Of Another GP Visit
All of us have been there... We visit our healthcare team and leave their rooms 30-60 minutes later with a plan on paper. Whether it's your GP, Dietitian, Physio....

When I discovered this, I completely changed the way I serve my clients and I think it's important for you to understand why... If you wanna learn how to understand what perimenopause is (if you're over 35, you're in peri!), and how to care for yourself throughout this normal reproductive phase, you need a healthcare provider that will be willing to compromise their comfort in care and shift their focus to giving you WHAT YOU REALLY NEED and what would ensure your best possible outcomes.
