Watch our webinar, hosted alongside Jules Cattell, Life Beyond The Pause - A new chapter of adaptation, resilience, and opportunity post-menopause. 

Are you peri- or post-menopausal? Have you noticed changes to your menstrual cycle, perhaps with some tiredness and fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and are often feeling hot out of the blue?

You might need support for your female hormone balance and help your body to adapt to the changes.

Webinar with Bernie Harrison & Marta Anhelush from BioCare Nutrition Team & Saf Hareshe from The Natural Dispensary.

In the last 50 years alone, an estimated 5 million new chemicals have been created, 75,000 of which are in daily use and under 10% have been toxicity tested. Amongst them, we’ll find many that act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs), creating a hormonal havoc and threatening our health, adaptation, and survival.

Through their disruptive action on our hormone receptors, cellular activities and immunity, they have been linked to hormonal dysregulation in men and women, infertility, cancer, as well as autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and obesity.

In this informative and practical webinar, the BioCare Nutrition Team will discuss all you need to know about endocrine disruptors; from where they are found, mode of action, their impact on health; including women’s & men’s hormones, to detoxification pathways and foods and nutrients you can use to aid detoxification & cellular protection. Meanwhile, our special guest, Saf Hareshe, Head of Education at The Natural Dispensary, will share her top tips and favourite products from The Natural Dispensary range, to help you and your clients reduce the exposure to endocrine disruptors. 

This autumn we are sharing some poignant stories of women suffering from a variety of female health issues. Stories that showcase the sad reality of pain, fatigue, depression, grief, and shame  that some women go through. This includes women with endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who may wait several years for a diagnosis and are sometimes ignored on their journey, grappled by symptoms that make their lives unbearable. At the same time, whether from a medical or holistic perspective, the management of both conditions can be oversimplified; focusing on insulin resistance in PCOS, or ‘oestrogen dominance’ in endometriosis. Through their wealth of knowledge and clinical experience, our expert speakers understand the multifactorial presentation of these conditions and will share in-depth information about the pathophysiology, common drivers, genetic influences, and effective nutritional strategies you can use with your clients.
