Do they increase oestrogen? Are they safe in menopause? Should women avoid soya \u2014 or actively include it? In this episode, I explain what phytoestrogens actually are and how they work as selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Rather than acting like strong hormones, they gently interact with your existing oestrogen receptors \u2014 and that distinction really matters. We explore: \u2022 The difference between \u201cplant oestrogen\u201d and SERM \u2022 The research on hot flush reduction \u2022 Food sources versus supplements If you\u2019ve felt confused by mixed messaging around soya, this episode will give you clarity and confidence. As always, we\u2019re cutting through the noise to give you sensible advice, real food and genuine support. A big thank you to our podcast sponsors, Revive Active. Their Revive Active Meno Active Complete contains a botanicals capsule providing standardised soya isoflavones, including genistein \u2014 one of the most researched phytoestrogens in relation to menopausal health. www.reviveactive.com   ","author_name":"Fab Female Nutrition","author_url":"https:\/\/hillstart.me.uk\/podcast\/","html":"
