This episode is the June Wellness Options Episode with Alison Bladh, a former esthetician who became a Registered Nutritional Therapist after learning that skin health starts inside the body with the food we eat. Her goal is to help other women in midlife get their sparkle back. Alison is a Brit living in Sweden who says she ended up there after she was swept off her feet by a viking!

Kim and Alison talk about:

• Defining peri-menopause vs menopause
• Knowing the symptoms
• Dealing with menopause from many angles, not just one
• Alison's top 3 health areas: bone, brain and heart health and how to support them
• How midlife women are motivated to focus more on their health
• The "menopause revolution" in Europe
• Trying to get nutrients from food as much as possible
• Checking levels before starting supplements
• Tips for staying healthy including balancing blood sugar, cortisol effects, breathing techniques
