Brain fog, night sweats, weight gain, exhaustion or fluctuating hormones? What if your perimenopause symptoms are your body's way of telling you it's time to slow down and listen?
In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle looks at perimenopause through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, telling you why this stage of life is about more than just hormonal changes.
According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys are considered the body's energy battery, playing a central role in ageing, vitality and the menopause transition. But with the demands of modern life, constant stress and too little rest, could your body's battery be running on empty?
Perimenopause doesn't have to be something you simply push through. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is stop, listen to your body and give yourself the care you've been putting off.

What if the key to better health isn't another supplement, cold plunge or productivity hack, but just learning how to prioritise what really matters?
In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by mindset coach and author Lily Silverton, creator of The Priorities Method and author of Prioritise This.
Katie and Lily look at why so many of us feel overwhelmed, stressed and stretched thin by modern life, and how small daily choices shape our wellbeing far more than we realise. They talk about how we navigate caring responsibilities, work pressures and burnout to dealing with rejection, comparison and social media.
Katie and Lily also discuss the rise of biohacking culture, why human connection remains one of the most powerful wellness tools available, and the simple habits that can really improve mental and physical health without costing a fortune.
