In this episode of The House of Hormones, we’re joined by award-winning fitness coach, author, and wellness advocate Lavina Mehta MBE.

Lavina shares her inspiring fitness journey and how movement became a powerful tool not just for physical health, but for mental wellbeing. She talks about the idea of exercising for “sanity, not vanity”, and how women can begin their fitness journey at any stage of life.

We also discuss Lavina’s personal experience navigating Perimenopause, including symptoms like brain fog and anxiety, and why speaking openly about these experiences can help so many other women feel less alone. Lavina explains the importance of awareness and prevention when it comes to women’s health, without creating unnecessary fear.

As a passionate advocate for women’s wellbeing, Lavina also shares her work supporting charities, empowering communities, and encouraging women to support each other rather than compete. We also talk about her book and the message she hopes it brings to women everywhere.
