0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:31.0	Hello, strong, feisty women. I hope you all are well.
0:35.0	So I have a great one for you this week. I got a chance to sit down with
0:38.8	Michelle Hay. Michelle Hay is the co-director of acupuncture at Boston IVF, where she works as a
0:46.0	colleague of frequent hit play not pause guest, Dr. Carla D. Girolamo, who is an OBGYN and endocrinologist

1:41.7	went through a series of acupuncture treatments. It's been a few years, but I did it for a story and I didn't know what to expect and I really,

1:51.5	It felt like I was sort of levitating off the table yet very heavy and calm and I've never
1:57.6	really experienced anything like it.
1:59.3	So I was really excited to dig in further with Michelle on all of this.
2:05.4	She is also delightfully feisty, and it was a super fun conversation.
2:10.8	And I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
