Let’s Talk Fibroids ...
Fibroids are often explained as just hormonal or something driven by oestrogen and progesterone, and something many women are told to simply monitor, suppress, or remove.
There is a deeper layer worth understanding, which is that Fibroids don’t develop in isolation. They grow within a metabolic environment; one influenced by insulin, inflammation, liver function, and how the body processes and clears hormones.
When metabolic function is disrupted, we can see: Liver dysfunction Elevated insulin levels Increased inflammation Altered oestrogen metabolism Altered clearance
This creates the conditions where fibroids are more likely to grow and persist. So yes, hormones matter, but they are part of a bigger picture.
When we begin to support metabolic health stabilising liver function, blood sugar, reducing chronic inflammation, and improving detoxification pathways we often change the environment that fibroids rely on.
When the environment changes, outcomes can shift. The same is true for how we understand menopause.
Menopause is often framed as a decline or deficiency. In many cases, symptoms are amplified not just by changing hormones but by the metabolic terrain those hormones are operating within.
This is not about blame or oversimplifying complex conditions. Fibroids and menopause are multifactorial.
It is about expanding the conversation and recognising that women deserve more than one-dimensional explanations.
A more complete lens gives us more options, more agency, and more informed care.
Warm, informed, and curious is how we move forward.
