This episode of The Relaxback UK Show with Mike Dilke dives into the complex world of hormone health. Mike is joined by Dr. Millie Ryazda, a GP with a passion for helping people manage hormonal imbalances through lifestyle changes rather than medication. Dr. Millie shares her personal journey with hormone issues, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and how it led her to explore lifestyle medicine and functional medicine.

Her approach focuses on diet, exercise, mental health, and avoiding ultra-processed foods to balance hormones naturally. She emphasises the importance of looking at the whole person rather than just treating symptoms. Dr. Millie also discusses the impact of stress and modern lifestyles on hormone health, explaining how factors like high cortisol levels and insulin resistance can lead to conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
