In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Jenn Salib Huber, dietitian, naturopathic doctor and intuitive eating coach. Jenn provides expert health and hormone support to women in midlife without a side of diet culture!

Every woman is going to go through menopause at some point in their life, often though it is coupled with trouble sleeping, multitasking, thinking straight and generally coping with everyday life. This can be very stressful and cause depressive symptoms for many women, along with losing zest for life, and many women resort to using antidepressants. So it’s about time we spoke about it!

Jenn and I discussed:

• Barriers to discussing the menopause
• What actually is menopause and peri-menopause?
• Symptoms
• Early menopause
• The hormones involved
• Eating well for the menopause
• Alternative therapies to dealing with severe symptoms

PLEASE be sure to give this a review, rating, and share it with someone you think would enjoy it!
