  Ep. 12 - Food Noise Explained: Why Willpower Fails & How to Rewire Your Relationship With Food with Georgie Beames

  Aug 18, 20261h 12m

  Ep. 12 - Food Noise Explained: Why Willpower Fails & How to Rewire Your Relationship With Food with Georgie Beames Dr. Andrea Robertson (Osteopath, Naturopath, Nutritionist) introduces a conversation with psychologist and coach Georgie Beames about "food noise," described as constant intrusive mental chatter about food that isn't hunger, cravings, or emotional eating and can drive shame, guilt, and a vicious cycle of overeating. They discuss how food noise relates to nervous system states (safe/connected, anxious fight-or-flight, and freeze), how triggers like stress, transitions, routines, and being alone can push people into survival mode, and how childhood experiences and beliefs shape patterns where "child parts" take over and seek comfort foods. Georgie explains why willpower is like a drained battery and emphasizes internal tools to move "up the ladder," including breathwork to activate the parasympathetic system, pattern interruption, and mindful "adult" choices. They also touch on GLP-1 medications reducing food noise without addressing root causes, perimenopause as a change point, and modalities like EMDR and EFT.

  Ep. 11 - The Fear of Soy is False! Soy Isoflavones: A Natural Alternative to HRT

  Aug 11, 202641 min

  Is soy bad for you, or is it one of the most misunderstood foods in menopause? In this episode of Nourish, Heal & Rise, Dr Andrea Robertson unpacks what the newest research actually says about soy and menopause, and why soy isoflavones are emerging as one of the most promising natural alternatives to HRT for women in perimenopause and beyond. Fresh from the 2026 ACNEM conference, Andrea breaks down the science presented by naturopath Rhiannon Hardingham on how soy isoflavones work as selective oestrogen receptor modulators - calming things down when your oestrogen is high, and stepping in when it drops. It's exactly the kind of flexible support the hormonal chaos of perimenopause calls for. You'll learn: Whether soy actually causes breast cancer (what the meta-analyses really show) How phytoestrogens differ from the oestrogen in your body Why soy may protect your brain, bones, heart and mood What an "equol producer" is, and why your gut bacteria change everything How much soy to eat, and which forms give you the most benefit If you've been avoiding soy out of fear, or you're looking for natural menopause relief and HRT alternatives backed by real evidence, this episode will change how you think about that humble bean.

  Ep.10 - Listener Q&A: Bloating, Leg Cramps and Should I take Magnesium?

  Aug 4, 202641 min

  Ep.10 - Listener Q&A: Bloating, Leg Cramps and Should I take Magnesium? In this listener questions episode of Nourish, Heal, and Rise, Dr. Andrea Robertson explains why balloon-like bloating can happen even with clean, small meals - highlighting clues like high abdominal pressure within 30–60 minutes of eating and discussing likely drivers including SIBO, low stomach acid, impaired digestive enzymes, and nervous system state. Andrea suggests practical next steps such as asking about a SIBO breath test, trying diluted apple cider vinegar before meals, considering a comprehensive digestive enzyme, taking calming breaths before eating, and using stool testing if needed. She then addresses exercise-related calf cramps, most commonly linked to low magnesium and electrolyte imbalance, recommending magnesium glycinate (300–400 mg before bed), hydration with quality electrolytes, warmups, and calf/foot conditioning. Andrea also clarifies magnesium forms, favoring glycinate/bisglycinate, threonate for brain support, topical magnesium for cramps, and avoiding magnesium oxide.

  Ep.9 - Hormonal Chaos in Perimenopause: How Chronic Inflammation Drives PMS, Heavy Periods & Brain Fog

  Jul 28, 20261h 5m

  Hormonal Chaos in Perimenopause: How Chronic Inflammation Drives PMS, Heavy Periods & Brain Fog Dr. Andrea Robertson explains that while estrogen fluctuations and progesterone decline in perimenopause are normal, the severity of symptoms is largely shaped by chronic inflammation. In this final episode of an inflammation series, she outlines common signs of "hormonal chaos" (irregular or heavy cycles, worsening PMS, hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain) and details six mechanisms linking inflammation to hormone disruption: HPA axis dysregulation and "progesterone steal," estrogen dominance via aromatase, poor liver clearance and gut reabsorption, HPO axis disruption, thyroid impairment and SHBG changes, insulin resistance driving androgens/PCOS (PMOS), and inflammation's amplification of perimenopause symptoms. She then covers practical nutrition, targeted supplements, lifestyle strategies, informed consideration of hormone therapy, and recommended testing, plus programs and sponsor Mineralite.

She explains how anxiety, low mood, irritability, and emotional rawness can have a distinct biological "fingerprint" driven by inflammation, gut dysfunction, blood sugar instability, cortisol dysregulation, hormonal shifts (especially perimenopause), thyroid function, and histamine. She outlines five key mechanisms, shares a patient story, and provides seven targeted steps to support recovery, including stabilizing blood sugar with protein, gut repair to support serotonin, nutrition and supplementation for neurotransmitters (including magnesium, B vitamins, EPA, saffron), vagus nerve support, addressing hormonal drivers (including practitioner-guided options), consistent exercise, and protecting sleep. 00:00 Irritability Is Biology 00:33 Sponsor Mineralite 01:29 Series Intro And Disclaimer 05:37 Mood Changes Fingerprint 09:43 Lisa Case Study 11:02 Mechanism One Cytokines 14:25 Mechanism Two Cortisol 17:44 Mechanism Three Gut Serotonin 21:15 Mechanism Four Hormones 26:15 Mechanism Five Histamine 29:48 Seven Steps To Improve Mood 30:01 Steps One And Two 33:56 Step Three Nutrients 38:28 Step Four Vagus Nerve 41:37 Steps Five To Seven 50:26 Recovery And Wrap Up
