Summary
In this episode, I am focusing on an important topic that has been heavily requested, menopause! When I think about how to thrive during menopause and set yourself up for success, I think of four main areas: thyroid, stress, nutrition, and our daily habits. If you’ve already gone through menopause, I just want to say it’s never too late to work on the things I cover today. Also, if you did a lot of work and feel like you’ve tried all the things but are still really struggling through menopause, I know that can be really hard, but making nutrition and lifestyle changes is still supporting your long term health. It’s easy to forget that everything we’ve done our entire lives is going to impact our menopausal experience. When we’ve lived a certain way for a long time it can take time to undo a lot of that dysfunction. Be patient and know you are still doing really good things for your body and future health.
As always, this episode is for informational purposes only. Please talk with your healthcare provider before making nutrition, lifestyle, or supplement changes.
This episode covers:
- How suboptimal thyroid function leads to symptoms experienced during menopause
- Recommendations to reduce stressors
- Tips for supporting a healthy stress response
- Three nutrition tips for menopausal women
- Daily habits to support your body through menopause

| 0:36.7 | This has been a heavily requested |
| 0:38.1 | topic. And, you know, I do think a lot of the stuff I share applies to women in this season of |
| 0:43.9 | life regardless. I, you know, even when we're just talking about minerals, I talk about thyroid a lot, |
| 0:49.9 | metabolism, all those things are going to impact menopause because that's going to impact, |
| 0:54.0 | you know, what sets the metabolic pace of your body and how your systems are going to function. So, |
| 0:59.2 | yes, I'm going to go through some specific areas today that I would always address with someone |
| 1:05.1 | that is either going through pari menopause or their postmenopausal, but just know that it doesn't mean everything |
| 1:12.2 | else doesn't apply to you. I don't think there's any like one perfect prescription for women |
| 1:18.7 | that are menopausal. I know a lot of people online would like you to think otherwise, but it's just |
| 1:24.8 | like anything else. Like PCOS, like You'll see like just PCS specific content. |
| 1:30.1 | And it's like, okay, that could be true for some people with PCOS, but not all. Same thing with |
| 1:34.3 | menopause. So we'll go through thyroid. We'll talk about stress, talk about nutrition, |
| 1:39.2 | and then like our daily habits. I'm going to share like if if I could just have women in this season of life |
| 1:45.2 | do three habits a day, then these are the habits I would have them work on. So we'll go through |
| 1:52.5 | that stuff. And I just want to say that I get a lot of people that are later in life finding |
| 1:59.5 | this information and they're frustrated because they're like, |
| 2:02.6 | I'm having such a hard time, very difficult transition through menopause. And they're like, |
