  Why Your Body Is Struggling in Your 40s with Maeve O'Sullivan

  Aug 20, 202651 min

  So many women reach their late 30s and 40s and suddenly feel like their body isn't responding the way it used to. Sleep changes, stress feels harder to handle, digestion shifts and the habits you once relied on don't seem to work anymore. Becca is joined by Maeve O'Sullivan, a former nurse trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to explore a different way of understanding the body. They discuss why women often wake around 3am, the Chinese medicine organ clock and the connection between sleep, stress and the liver. Maeve explains yin and yang, why constantly pushing through can become harder in perimenopause and how acupuncture may support sleep, stress and hormonal balance. They also explore why more isn't always better, why how you eat matters as much as what you eat, and reconnecting with your body's signals. If you're doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this offers a different perspective on sleep, stress, hormones and women's health. In this episode you'll learn: Why women commonly wake around 3am according to Chinese medicine How stress and perimenopause can change what your body can tolerate What yin and yang can teach us about balancing stress, exercise and rest How acupuncture may support sleep, stress and hormonal balance Why cold breakfasts and smoothies may not suit everyone Why how you eat can matter as much as what you eat How to stop adding more and listen to what your body needs Join the Rebalance Membership for support with sleep, stress and nervous system regulation CHAPTERS [00:00] Why You Keep Waking Up at 3AM [00:58] Meet Maeve O'Sullivan: From Nursing to Chinese Medicine [05:21] What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

  Why HRT Doesn't Work the Same for Every Woman with Matt Jones

  Aug 5, 202651 min

  In this episode, Becca sits down with Matt Jones, owner of Rebalance, a women's hormone testing company, to explore why so many women in their 40s and 50s feel like they're doing everything "right" but still struggle with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone symptoms and poor health. They discuss why standard blood tests often miss the bigger picture, the hormone markers that matter most during perimenopause, and why testing can remove the guesswork when it comes to understanding your body. They also explore why calories alone don't explain weight loss resistance, how thyroid function, liver health, gut health and chronic stress all influence hormones, and why some women respond well to HRT while others don't. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, struggling with stubborn symptoms, or simply want a better understanding of your health, this episode explains how the right testing can help uncover the root cause instead of simply managing symptoms. In this episode you'll learn: Why it's not just calories in vs calories out during perimenopause Which blood tests provide a more complete picture of your health Why thyroid testing is often incomplete How liver health affects hormones The connection between gut health and oestrogen Why stress impacts every system in the body How under-eating can slow your metabolism When Dutch testing may be useful Why some women don't respond well to HRT Why testing should come before supplements CHAPTERS: [00:00] Why weight loss gets harder in perimenopause [00:36] Why hormone testing matters [01:45] It's not just calories in vs calories out [04:37] What's missing from standard GP blood tests [08:00] Why a full hormone panel gives a clearer picture [09:00] The most common problems found through testing [10:09] Why liver health is so important [12:00] How to support your liver naturally [19:14] Why testing beats guessing with supplements [21:11] Stress isn't just psychological [24:06] Why protein, fibre and strength training matter [26:09] Why fat loss changes in your 40s and 50s [27:35] Gut health, IBS and hidden root causes [31:16] Oestrogen dominance explained [33:00] Why HRT doesn't work the same for everyone [39:05] Where to start with hormone testing [41:00] Can you heal your gut and reintroduce foods?

  How Your Daily Rhythm Shapes Your Hormones, Digestion & Nervous System | Nidhi Pandya

  Jul 22, 202652 minS2

  We spend so much time searching for the perfect diet or morning routine, yet so many women still struggle with fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues and hormone imbalances. In this episode, Becca is joined by Ayurvedic practitioner and teacher Nidhi Pandya to explore the missing piece that modern health advice often overlooks: living in rhythm with your body. Together they discuss how your circadian rhythm influences digestion, metabolism, hormones and your nervous system, why so many women wake between 2am and 3am, why feeling cold may be a sign your body is out of balance, and how slowing down can be more healing than doing more. Nidhi also explains why warm meals support digestion better than cold smoothies, why chronic stress creates a "hot and dry" state in the body, and how simple daily habits can help you feel more energised.

  Why Women Keep Waking Up At 3AM (And How To Break The Cycle) with Kathryn Pinkham

  Jul 8, 202656 min

  Why do so many women suddenly start waking at 3am, even when they're doing everything "right" for their sleep? In this episode, Rebecca sits down with insomnia specialist Kathryn Pinkham to explore why broken sleep often has far less to do with sleep itself than we think. Together they unpack how stress, hormones, anxiety and the nervous system interact to create chronic sleep problems, and why traditional sleep hygiene often isn't enough to break the cycle. Kathryn explains how poor sleep becomes conditioned over time, why our thoughts at 3am can accidentally teach the brain to stay alert, and why trying harder to sleep often makes insomnia worse. They also discuss menopause, wearable sleep trackers, nervous system regulation, CBT for insomnia, and the simple mindset shifts that can help retrain the brain for better sleep. If you've ever dreaded bedtime, found yourself waking between 3am and 4am every night, or felt like you've tried everything without success, this episode offers a completely different perspective on what might really be keeping you awake.

  The Hidden Beliefs Controlling Your Life with Peter Crone

  Jun 25, 202651 minS1

  Why do you keep repeating the same patterns, even when you know better? In this powerful conversation, Rebecca sits down with renowned human behaviour expert and "Mind Architect" Peter Crone to explore the hidden beliefs that quietly shape our lives. Together they unpack why self-awareness alone is often not enough, how unconscious programming drives our decisions, and why many of us stay trapped in familiar patterns despite years of personal development work. Peter explains how our deepest limitations are often built on beliefs we never consciously chose, why life repeatedly presents us with the same challenges until the lesson is learned, and how true freedom comes from questioning the stories we have accepted as truth. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated by repeating the same behaviours, or wondered why change feels harder than it should, this episode offers a completely different way of looking at yourself and your life. This episode is for: Women who feel stuck in repeating the same patterns Anyone who has done "the work" but still struggles to create lasting change People interested in mindset, personal growth and behaviour change Those navigating self-criticism, people-pleasing or perfectionism Anyone ready to uncover the beliefs driving their behaviour beneath the surface People who want more freedom, fulfilment and self-trust EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: [00:00] Meet Peter Crone: The Mind Architect[02:15] Childhood Experiences And Human Behaviour[05:05] Why We Repeat The Same Patterns[07:00] The Hidden Prisons We Live Inside[08:45] Why Awareness Doesn't Equal Change[10:00] The Difference Between Knowing And Healing[12:30] Uncovering The Root Cause Of Limiting Beliefs[15:00] What Happens When A Core Belief Falls Away[17:00] The Fear Of Your Own Potential[19:00] Why Self-Improvement Often Falls Short[21:00] Identity, Conditioning And Personal Freedom[24:20] Why Change Can Become Another Distraction[26:50] Emotional Triggers And Personal Responsibility[30:00] Why Today's Pain Often Comes From The Past[33:00] Relationships As Mirrors For Healing[35:00] Acceptance, Surrender And Life's Challenges[39:00] Self-Forgiveness And Trusting Your Path[42:00] Rewiring Your Internal Operating System[44:00] Vertical Growth vs Linear Success[46:40] The Radio Frequency Analogy[48:05] Environment, Identity And New Possibilities[49:51] Where To Find Peter Crone CONNECT & LEARN MORE: Becca Holland You can connect with me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube - @healthwithholland , where I share practical education on nervous system regulation, women’s health, and sustainable behaviour change.
