Hormonal Harmony: Women’s Health at Every Life Stage with Dr Karen Coates & Sharon Kolkka

In this episode, Belinda sits down with two of Australia’s most respected voices in women’s health, Dr Karen Coates and Sharon Kolkka. With over 70 years of combined experience, and after the success of their first book How to Be Well, they have just launched their second book, Hormonal Harmony: A Woman’s Guide to Puberty, Fertility, Menopause and Beyond.

We explore:

Why stress is the number one disruptor of women’s hormones
The 5 hormonal chapters every woman moves through
What’s normal (and what’s not) when it comes to your cycle
The impact of birth control and what other options are available
HRT, the benefits, the window, and why it’s not a quick fix
Infertility and IVF, the stats, and how to support your body
How nervous system regulation influences hormones at every age

Belinda also brings community questions into the conversation, covering everything from supporting teenage girls through puberty to navigating symptoms, testing, supplements, and approaching menopause with more ease.

This episode is empowering, practical, and a must-listen for every woman wanting to better understand their hormones “the unsung heroes of the body”.
