Nutrition | Hormone Harmony | Menopause | Peri feat. Christine Kjeldbjerg
Hormone Harmony midlife via nutrition – we get right into it in this podcast with important discussions around hormones, midlife, the menopause and this huge impactful phase in a woman’s life (and let’s be honest it impacts the whole family actually!) but it needs much more exposure and everyday discussion .
WE TALK WITH CHRISTINE KJELDBJERG
Elbert Hubbard said “When life gives you lemons make lemonade” back in 1915, I bet he would be thrilled to hear we are still doing that even in a pandemic!
I kind of feel that phrase is one of my mantras, I do try to find the silver linings in life which I know can come across as too positive sometimes but for me I guess it’s just my way of trying to rationalise events. I find them easier to deal with if I can find a reason even in the darkest of times.
It was while I was reading a book called Making Work Human I had an idea to have a LoveFest a week of thanks and gratitude and as part of that I asked Christine Kjeldbjerg a previous guest from the Firefly from back in 2017, to come and chat with my team about all things nutrition – as I think we all need a boost after the last 12 months
The timing then seemed right for us check back in here on the firefly and hear what she has been doing since we last spoke. At that point she already held a BSC in nutritional Therapy and was running a busy health and fitness coaching business, instructing Pilates and Xtend Barre. She was a busy mum with teens in the same school my son went to. Shortly after that episode she went on to complete a BSC in Personalised Nutrition and then like me some of the teens have been flying the nest.
For many that would be the moment to down shift but for Christine, who I feel is a lifelong learner and who is so passionate about nutrition, this “spare time” has been used to deep dive further into nutrition and in particular Hormone Harmony which is what we are going to talk about but also she is hugely involved in the community, a big supporter of Mimosa organising many events to raise essential funds for the cancer charities locally and also sharing her wisdom in the Riviera Insider magazine regularly.
We get right into it in this podcast with important discussions around hormone harmony and how nutrition can impace this for the better. Midlife, the menopause has a huge impact phase in a woman’s life (and let’s be honest it impacts the whole family actually!) but it needs much more exposure and everyday discussion .
Peri and menopause needs to be as easy to talk about as things like football are, which we didn’t go into this time but we did last time and you can find out why that is important to Christine on episode 24 all the way back in 2017. So no off side rule this time, hormone’s and harmony, let’s get straight into it, let’s roll!
