Your 'Healthy' Diet Is Sabotaging Your Hormones

Welcome to our channel The Forties Formula Podcast With Amanda & Jasmin How Healthy Habits Are Hurting Your Hormones 🎙️ Hormones are only part of the story, stress, diet, and lifestyle play the leading roles in how we feel. In this heart-opening episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with JO BROWNLOW, a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Bootcamp Trainer passionate about helping women reclaim their health through balance, nourishment, and rest. Together, we explore how to balance hormones naturally, support your liver and gut health, and why loving yourself first is the foundation for thriving in your 40s and beyond. In this episode, we explore: • The hidden dangers of overexercising and its impact on hormones • Why nutrient quality matters more than calorie counting for sustainable health • Common signs of poor nutrient absorption and how blood work can reveal underlying health issues • How to make healthy eating fun and doable for both adults and children • Why prioritizing rest, recovery, and self-care is essential for women’s health • How alcohol affects liver health and gut • Ways to slow down aging through healthy lifestyle choices • How mental health and gut health are connected • Why loving yourself is key to feeling your best in your 40s and beyond As we navigate the complexities of our health and the inevitable shifts that come with age, it becomes clear that the story of wellness is not just about what we consume, but about how we honor the delicate balance within ourselves. Loving yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When you prioritize your health and wellbeing, you unlock the freedom to live fully with strength and grace. --------- CHAPTERS 05:02 – The hidden harm of overexercising 08:47 – Rest is just as important as exercise 12:24 – Healthy foods is more than just calories 16:25 – Gut health impacts mood & hormones 19:24 – Why sleep is a big deal 23:31 – The 3 F’s: Fresh, Fermented, Fibrous 26:14 – Self-Diagnosis vs. Real Help 31:55 – How alcohol stresses the liver and gut 34:40 – Your lifestyle affects your perimenopause symptoms 38:35 – The role of testosterone in women’s health 41:31 – Client case study: Cholesterol and estrogen link 45:00 – How too much rice and fruit can be a problem 47:32 – Finding purpose in your 40s 51:17 – 9D Breathwork: Healing through breathing 53:07 – Put self-love at the top of your list --------- Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: 🥩 ‪@themeatclubsg‬ – Get $12 off your first order with code TFF12 - https://themeatclub.com.sg/ 🌮 ‪@GuzmanyGomezGYG‬ – Breakfast sponsor of our LIVE event - https://www.gyg.com.sg/ 🧠 Greytt– 50% off a 5-session starter pack with code TFF30 - https://moves.greytt.com/ 💊 AVEA Longevity - Use code FORMULA20 for 20% your entire purchase at avea-life.com - https://avea-life.com/ ______________ 📩 Join our mailing list for exclusive content, our weekly Friday FOURPlay newsletter, expert tips, and early access to giveaways! - https://bit.ly/tffpemailinglist 🎙️THE FORTIES FORMULA IS GOING LIVE IN SG this August 14th - snag your ticket here! - https://thefortiesformulalive.peatix.... 👍 Like this video if you've ever struggled with self-sabotage. 💬 Comment below — what’s one self-sabotaging habit you’re ready to break? 🔁 Share this with a friend who needs to hear this message. 🔔 Subscribe to We Learn for weekly videos on mindset, healing, and personal growth. 📘 We Learn so we can grow — together.
