For many women, “menopause” feels like a dirty word; they don’t want to think about it, don’t want to talk about it, and spend years dreading its eventual arrival. But menopause is a natural part of the life cycle. When we learn to work with our bodies instead of against them, menopause can become a wonderful period in our lives, not one we need to dread.

In this episode, we’re discussing what happens within your body when you reach menopause. Dr. Carling is explaining how your body’s hormone production systems change and why some people experience more unpleasant symptoms than others. Plus, we’re sharing easy lifestyle and diet changes you can make before or during menopause to mitigate your symptoms.

What’s in this episode:

• What happens within our bodies during menopause

• Why prevention is the best cure for unpleasant menopause symptoms
