0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome back to the Food Medic podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Hazel Wallace.
0:07.8	I'm a medical doctor, nutritionist, PT, author and founder of the Food Medic. Today I'm joined by presenter, fitness guru, author, mother and self-proclaimed accidental women's health activist Davina McColl.
0:22.8	We chat all things women's health from the menopause to the pill and I honestly could
0:27.6	have chatted to this woman for hours. One of the conversations we have is regarding HRT and I just
0:33.5	want to quickly speak to you about that because I love that we're having this conversation
0:37.7	as HRT is very effective for the relief of menopausal symptoms and it also provides some other
0:44.1	benefits. However, I just want to be clear that it's not completely risk-free and it's not

1:11.9	Cheaky plug, but I do cover this specifically in my book, The Female Factor, and also offer
1:17.1	nutrition and lifestyle advice for women who are going through the perimenopause and the menopause,
1:22.0	so make sure to check that out. Now grab a cup of tea because this is a chunky, inspiring and powerful episode that I know you're going to love.
1:31.1	Davina, welcome to the FoodMedic podcast.
1:33.4	I've got my cup of tea.
1:34.8	I'm ready for a chat.
1:36.7	It feels like the first day of autumn today, actually.
1:39.5	There's been a real job.
1:40.2	Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
1:41.2	Yeah, so I don't blame about your tea.
