Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about navigating perimenopause and menopause, starting with nutrition and lifestyle (and perhaps foundational supplements).
The perimenopause and menopause phase of life can be an incredibly strange one. Lack of easy-to-access information from reliable sources can be challenging. As an older and wiser woman, it’s surprising how difficult it can be to navigate all the confusion! This show will help.
My guest is Andrea Donsky.
