How natural remedies can support you through perimenopause and menopause.

Did you know there are over 100 menopausal symptoms? And each of these symptoms can impact us in very different ways? Thankfully, my guest today Toni Baker is here to help break it all down.

Toni Baker, founder of Hotties Hormones, is a Naturopath, Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Holistic Counsellor with over 20 years of experience.

Practising in Sydney, Bali, and Singapore, she specialises in women's health, focusing on hormonal balance, menopause support, gut health, stress reduction, and anxiety relief.

With a holistic approach to wellbeing, Toni empowers women through life transitions by combining naturopathy, nutrition, and counselling.

Through Hotties Hormones, she educates and supports women to navigate menopause and hormonal changes with confidence and grace.

In today's conversation, Toni explains the differences between perimenopause and menopause, and offers insights into natural management strategies, including herbal remedies and lifestyle adjustments.

Toni also highlights the significance of testing for hormonal health and addresses the often-overlooked aspects of sexual health (like dry vagina!) and emotional well-being during this transitional phase of life.

We discuss the multifaceted aspects of perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, nutrition, and empowerment.

We explore how women can reclaim their lives during this transitional phase, the role of nutrition in managing symptoms, and the significance of bone health.

Our discussion also touches on misconceptions surrounding perimenopause and the need for better education and support for women.
