Have you ever had this experience where you wake up and you feel like your body is out of control? Painful periods, hot flashes — your symptoms and your body feeling like they’re literally on fire? This is the story of my next guest.
Stacey Foat is a naturopathic physician from Australia and she takes us through her journey of recovering from debilitating symptoms related to hormonal imbalances. Stacey happened to be a naturopath when she started to experience these symptoms and was able to draw on her knowledge and overcome her diagnosis — reversing all of the debilitating symptoms simply through lifestyle changes and nutritional and herbal medicine.
Since then, Stacey has become incredibly passionate about talking about the upstream causes of hormonal disturbances, looking at ‘PMS’ premenstrual syndrome and breast cancer. She works hard to help hand women the power to control hormones through the decisions that they make every single day.
In this episode, Stacey shares things you can start to shift on a daily basis to gain control over those parts of your health that may or may not be signaling you to change.

CALL TO ACTION
The average woman is exposed to 168 chemicals each and every day through their beauty care products alone. These endocrine disruptors can wreak havoc major on your hormones, so this week, I want to challenge you to reduce your exposure by making the switch to natural beauty care products. Ditch the aluminum-based deodorants, opt for paraben-free body lotions and empower yourself with the knowledge to know what to look for on your ingredient labels. Share your commitment and your favourite products in our Entrepology Podcast Facebook group.
