In Episode 16 I welcome Megan Haralampou, the Biomedical Naturopath. She has a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and a Bachelor of Clinical Sciences majoring in Naturopathic Studies and Complementary Medicine. She has a passion for bringing evidence-based practice to holistic health and that is exactly why I wanted her on the show. We talk about the difference between having ‘optimal’ test results versus ‘in range’ test results, which really is the hallmark of a functional health practitioner. Megan explains the optimal windows for hormone testing as well the common pictures of female hormone imbalance. We explore toxin exposure, the Oral Contraceptive Pill (OCP) exposure and the gut hormone connection.

On this episode, our host Thamina is joined by Women's Health Expert Megan Haralampou, better known as The Biomedical Naturopath. Megan criticizes the severe lack of understanding about female hormones and the risks associated with hormonal birth control such as increased risk of osteoporosis. Megan wants women to understand why our period is actually important as fertility is not just about making babies, it's so much more than that and it is frightening how little we know. We need better education, especially for teenage women, so they feel more empowered about their menstrual cycles to be able to make educated decisions about their own bodies - instead of experiencing shame, guilt, gaslighting, and serious health consequences because we live in a society that is built for men.

The most highly requested topic is finally here in episode form and we are lucky enough to have the extremely overqualified and hugely knowledgable Megan Haralampou, also known as The Biomedical Naturopath!

With qualifications as a Naturopath, Herbalist, Nutritionist and a cheeky Biomedical Science degree to top it all off, we know you are going to get a LOT out of it.

This episode is absolutely bustin' out of the blister pack with information about what The Pill is, the forms it comes in, what your hormones are doing both on and off The Pill and how we can transition our body off hormonal contraception.
