Our special guest, Charlotte Hunter, explores the phases of menopause, the hormonal upheaval, and their compounded impact on women's health. Charlotte's profound expertise provides much-needed clarity and empathy towards the changes women experience during this significant period of life. Key Takeaways: Menopause encompasses three distinct phases: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, each with unique challenges. Estrogen plays a pivotal role in various bodily functions, and its fluctuations during menopause can lead to significant health changes, including gut permeability and inflammation. Personalized nutrition, including an emphasis on gut health, is crucial for managing menopausal symptoms effectively. Collagen supplementation can provide considerable benefits for skin, hair, joint health, and gut integrity. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be beneficial but should be a personalized decision based on individual health needs and preferences. More of Charlotte Hunter: Charlotte has been in practice since 2010, and specialises in the metabolic implications of menopause, particularly in premature, surgical, and complex cases. After personally experiencing surgical menopause in 2019, she founded a Menopause Nutrition business to empower women with food-based solutions. Charlotte leads a team of dedicated nutritional therapists in her busy practice, engaging with clients in group settings and one-on-one consultations. She also created the Hormone Connection Membership in 2021, an online practitioner training and mentorship space. Charlotte's mission is to guide women through the twists, turns, and loop-the-loops of menopause. With the help of evidence-based nutrition and personalised support, she is committed to helping women thrive through menopause by empowering them with practical solutions.

The Beat podcast is designed for healthcare professionals only and is brought to you by Nutricia. In this mini-series in partnership with Feel Good, the experts in the psychology of people, join their specialists from the fields of nutrition, psychology, mental health, mindfulness, sleep and movement in these 20 minute ‘powershot' podcasts to encourage you to learn on the move. This episode focuses on women's health. In this episode we take a deep dive into the role of the female hormones and how hormonal balance may tip off or be restored with nutrition, rest and exercise. ‘It's not me, it's my hormones.' The female sex hormones, those tiny little messengers moving around our bodies, do so much more than just regulating the menstrual cycle. Receptors for oestrogen, for example, are located throughout the body, so the hormones quite literally affect us head to toe. They can determine things like our energy levels, emotional state, stress response, as well as gut and endocrine health. And it is a two way street; the way we eat, move, and sleep can also affect our hormonal balance, certain habits tipping it off entirely. Bloating, fatigue, blood sugar problems, mood swings. There are about 150 different signs of hormonal imbalance. We tap into the power of getting to know your own self, your own cycle, and going with your flow (pun not intended). Joining us today is Charlotte Hunter, a registered and qualified Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine Practitioner for 10 years. In her day to day life, she helps men, women and children eat well and be healthy. Her firm belief is that food can be nutritious, delicious, and can support a number of health conditions and issues. Her main focus is helping women navigate the menopause. She knows how food can help balance hormones, making conditions and challenges less impactful and more manageable.
Charlotte Hunter, best known as “THE MENOPAUSE NUTRITIONIST” – is an expert in nutritional therapy - specialising in helping women to feel at their healthiest from perimenopause, through menopause & beyond using food, lifestyle & therapeutic methodologies for feeling good. We're in complete agreement when we say that as women we shouldn't have to “survive” menopause, but thrive & enjoy life to its fullest, without compromising. Charlotte joins me to discuss everything from hot flushes to brain fog, diet & hormones & how to understand these. Her approach uses “food, supplements, & lifestyle choices to form a menopause mastery strategy.” As a nutritional therapist Charlotte believes since every woman goes through a unique experience, they deserve a tailored solution that helps their body function optimally through the right foods & lifestyle choices. A guest on many podcasts, Charlotte has come on quite a journey through motherhood & having also undergone a full hysterectomy. We can't wait to get stuck in & hear her story…
It's not news to most women that their bodies can be ruled by their hormones! But what is less well known is that food can help balance out our hormones and keep us on an even keel. My guest on this episode, Charlotte Hunter, has been a registered and qualified Nutritional Therapist since 2010. Since then, she has helped many men, women and children to eat well and be healthy. Her firm belief is that food can be healthy and delicious, and can support a number of medical conditions and issues. Having gone through an early (surgical) menopause herself, her focus now is helping women to navigate the menopause. As I'm in the perimenopause myself, I'm keen to be armed with as much knowledge as possible to help my body stay balanced through this time of my life. I loved chatting to Charlotte for her unstinting honesty and her lovely way of explaining hormones in a way people can understand! In this conversation, we chat through ways in which women can help themselves. We also talk about weight gain - and why I (even as a healthy eating health coach!) gained over a stone in weight in 2020. Our levels of collagen (which is essential to keep our skin, bones and joints healthy) plummet in menopause. The collagen I take daily is Known's Advanced Collagen Supplement, which has a 98% absorption rate, due to its leading-edge formulation that includes liposomal Vitamin C. It also tastes delicious!

Today, we want to talk about self-care. As many people think about self-care, practices like meditation, movement, art, music, therapy, journaling come to mind. Sometimes, self-care involves sitting down to watch your favorite movie for the 10th or even 15th time. And there's something called cinema therapy, where therapists prescribe specific movies to help their patient work through things like addiction, some serious issues that they may be dealing with in therapy. This show is not about that. For today's show, we're going to have some lighthearted fun. We'll talk about self-care, those movies that have encouraged us to listen to ourselves, to laugh, and to keep going. We've invited gal pal, Charlotte Hunter, who's both an educator and pop culture connoisseur to join us for today's conversation. We'll reveal our top five go-to movies (plus a couple bonus titles) that keep us tuning in again and again! Original music: Richard D'Abreu Jr. (RD3 MUSIC)

Enjoy this music memory from Charlotte Hunter, who lives in Caddo Parish near Caddo Lake. Charlotte recalls how much she wanted a Gibson guitar when she was a teenager. “The first job I ever had was on a little radio station in Minden. I was fifteen. The guy told me if I would do a spot for him, every afternoon, that he buy that guitar for me….I had that radio show until I got my Gibson guitar….. we did mostly USO tours and airbases and things like that when we did gigs.” Charlotte recalls that as a child, her home was filled with music. He dad played the fiddle, and her mom played the guitar and bass.
