IHCAN magazine Podcast

Are you a nutritional therapist or nutrition professional - you'll love the new IHCAN magazine Podcast.
Presented by the wonderful nutritional therapist Kirsten Chick, we bring you IHCAN content you know and love in easily digestible 45 minute episodes, perfect to listen to on a commute, a dog walk, while cooking or in-between clients 🎧.
In this episode we speak to Debbie Cotton.
Debbie is an impressive combination of naturopath and integrative psychotherapist, and so is well placed to talk with us this week about menopause and perimenopause.
She talks us through the hormones involved, inflammation, stress and useful tests to consider. The microbiome becomes a running frequent theme as we discuss physical and mental health, and Debbie describes a fibre-rich approach as well as the “plant-based paradox” that is easy to get caught up in. We discuss blood sugar, and how to reduce alcohol and sugar if you’re not a natural abstainer. Debbie is generous in providing practical tips, both nutritional and psychological, throughout.
“Give yourself the permission to reach out to other […] share your experience together and actually also share kind of what works for you and what doesn't. Because I think community is one of the most important things in going through any big transition.”
