You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.

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.

This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.

She is the co-author of three books, including the newest release, the complete A to Z for your V.

She's also the chief medical officer of Bonafide, which, as you all know, is a sponsor of our show

and offers menopause products such as reverie and relisen.
