Summary

Looking for the key to unlocking your energy and potential in perimenopause and beyond?  In this episode, I’m joined by nutritionist and health expert Cathy Eason of Berkeley Life to talk about one of the most overlooked molecules for women’s health: nitric oxide. We dive into how nitric oxide supports cellular and mitochondrial energy, helping women feel more like themselves again in midlife. Cathy connects the dots between nitric oxide and women’s hormonal health, metabolic resilience, and even sexual vitality.  So many common midlife struggles may actually stem from low nitric oxide levels, so Cathy’s here to educate you on what exactly you can do about it to feel better… and fast.  Soon you’ll see how this surprising molecule can help unlock more energy, vibrancy, and confidence as you navigate perimenopause and menopause.  Tune in here!  Cathy Eason Cathy Eason is a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist and the Chief Scientific Officer for Berkeley Life, with over 20 years of experience specializing in digestive health, autoimmune conditions, neuroendocrine dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances.
