Ever been gas-lit by your hormones? Progesterone is a prime culprit, as can be behind early perimenopause symptoms that creep up quietly: anxiety, heart palpitations, trouble sleeping, less stress resilience and even getting up in the night to pee. You may be having regular periods, but you feel like you’re falling apart – what on earth is going on?Pippa explains the role of progesterone –- dubbed nature’s anti-depressant – and Victoria reveals why supplementing orally with it has been the biggest game-changer for her insomnia. We learn why women react differently to progesterone HRT, depending on how our body converts it. Find out how functional testing can reveal whether you are a ‘5 Alpha’ converter like Victoria, or a ‘5 Beta’ like Pippa and why knowing that can be the key to managing any hormone-related.symptoms.

Episode 1 | It’s not you, it’s your oestrogen + midlife skincare 101
Welcome to the first episode of Hormones and Handstands, a brand new podcast from functional hormone nutritionist and naturopath Pippa Campbell and beauty and wellness journalist and senior yoga teacher Victoria Woodhall.Every week, Pippa dives into a key female hormone, explaining its role, what happens when it becomes imbalanced and how to get to the root cause, so we can feel better. She explains how in her 20s she was felled by chronic PMS for years, and how it cleared up within months when she started seeing a functional practitioner. This kicked off her career pivot into qualifying as a practitioner herself and her passion for helping other women balance their hormones.Did you know that oestrogen is actually higher in our late 30s and early 40s than in our core reproductive years and that perimenopause is also called ‘second puberty’? Pippa explains what happens when oestrogen spikes and fluctuates at this time, what strange symptoms we might experience, what ‘oestrogen dominance’ means, plus simple food and lifestyle hacks to detox oestrogen.Victoria tells us how she came to yoga after suffering chronic stress and insomnia in her 20s and how it has helped her manage a racing mind as a beauty and wellness journalist. Yoga was the magic bullet which led her to train as a yoga teacher.She explains how simple moves such as getting your head below your heart in a ‘rag doll’ forward bend can help discharge stress, and why Yoga Nidra (yoga sleep) is such a powerful practice to reset your nervous system (there’s a future episode just on this).Many women, including Pippa, are confused about the fundamentals of a good skincare routine, so Victoria breaks down the basics from retinoids to vitamin C and peptides, gives her expert view on whether double cleansing is worth the bother and clarifies what order to apply your creams and serums in.Enjoy and please leave us a review!Follow us:Instagram @hormones.and.handstands Pippa's Links:Website: https://www.pippacampbellhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pippacampbell_health/Victoria's Links:Website: https://victoriawoodhall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoriawoodhall/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@victoriawoodhallyogaDisclaimer: The information in this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
