groovy welcome to dishing up nutrition today's show is brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness

my name is kara carper i'm a certified nutrition specialist and licensed nutritionist in the state of Minnesota.

On the other mic this morning, I'm super excited to be here with my co-host Joanne Wrightout, who is a registered and licensed dietitian.

And for the past five years, Joanne has been a teacher for our menopause survival seminar. She's helped many,

many women that are either in perimenopause or menopause to get a handle on their weight

or hot flashes or sleep issues. Those are just to name a few symptoms that we'll be chatting

about today. That's right. And good morning, Kara.

It's so good to be here with you again today.

And yes, that's right.

I always tell people I am of age to be helping people with menopause symptoms because I

have certainly lived through a lot of them.

So what are some other menopause symptoms that women are concerned

with and want help with? Certainly the weight, hot flashes, and sleep are definitely among the

top issues. But there are other issues women don't want to discuss. And one symptom I think about when I'm getting to something we don't want to discuss with their doctor even,

but it's very disturbing and uncomfortable.

And to them, that is incontinence.

So many women are struggling with this.

So definitely something we can help with.
