Do you ever have turning points in the month where you feel ready to conquer the world on one day, but the very next day you feel like you can’t achieve anything? If the answer is yes, then you will be fascinated by my guest today. Amy Thomson is a tech founder, entrepreneur, author and all round wonder woman and expert on all things hormones. It always amazes me how much we don’t know about the fundamental mechanisms that go on inside our bodies every day, especially when they affect our mood, health and wellbeing so significantly. Amy has dedicated her life to helping us understand our hormones better, she has built an app Moody and just released her new brilliant book of the same name, Moody: a woman’s 21st century hormone guide.
In this episode, Amy shares the research and science behind how our hormones work for twenty-first-century survival, how understanding them can help you build better and healthier routines, and why the systems and cycles inside us are an invisible but powerful force.
We discuss why we need to start thinking about health and wellbeing from the perspective of a female experience because women’s bodies are different to men’s, what happens to our hormones when we fall in love and the impact that the contraceptive pill can have on our bodies.

This episode is sponsored by Good Hemp. Their products are not only delicious but the health benefits of hemp are phenomenal and growing hemp is safe for the planet too. Currently over a quarter of greenhouse emissions come from food, Good Hemp are on a mission to reverse this though because they believe all food and drink should be fully sustainable. They like to say sow and grow more hemp for the planet, eat and drink more hemp for you because they believe you shouldn't have to compromise on either taste or health. Their products include plant based hemp milks, protein powders, oils and CBD which you can order from their website at goodhemp.com
