Hello and welcome back to the Get Your Globe at podcast. I'm joined today by Angelique Panagos,

nutritional therapist, women's health expert and author of The Balance Plan, six steps to

optimise your hormone health. On today's episode, we're discussing all things hormones and health.

We talk a lot about how our modern lifestyles have left

us with imbalance hormones and related disorders such as PCOS. Angelique is such a knowledgeable

and experienced practitioner and I just love how her personal journey has informed her to help

so many women with similar problems. I really hope you enjoy listening to this

episode. Let's bring on the amazing Angelique. Angelique, welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much.

I am so, so happy to be here. Oh, it's an honor to have you you and we've both been kind of battling child care to

make this work. So I think we're both so excited to finally have this conversation.

I feel like, like well done us. We've managed to get here. I'm going to be diving into a really

interesting subject, which is hormones. And I think it's

something that potentially we know a little bit about, and we definitely can feel the effects of

them on our bodies. But I just can't wait to dive in and just chat about them. So maybe let's

start with the basics. In the simplest possible terms, what is the role of our hormones?

Well, first of all, one of my most favourite subjects to speak about and the one that I feel like

that talk about these days. I really feel that as women, we need to know more about how our

bodies function and that's not a criticism at all. That's just such a big observation that I had in my own experience as well as working

with people in clinic.

But in the simplest term, our hormones govern everything from head to toe.

And when they are balanced, we feel like we're doing this B&E's waltz.

But when they're out of balance, we're doing the hokey-coki and we're using the wrong feet. And everything just feels out of place. We don't feel right within ourselves because if we think about what hormones are, they like the symphonic orchestra and they're conducted by our endocrine system. And this endocrine system is made up of different glands and organs in the body.
