Summary

Hey Heal Squad! This Heal in 15 is pulled from a past episode with Denise Kirtley, midlife fitness coach and body transformation expert, where we get into the real talk around supplements, perimenopause, and what actually helps your body at this stage. Denise shares what she personally uses and recommends most (like vitamin D, collagen, and creatine) and why strength training and nutrition still matter most before anything else. They also talk about how different everyone’s body is in midlife, and why you have to start paying attention to what actually works for you. Plus, some of the unexpected things that make a huge difference… like sleep, light exposure, and simple daily habits that can impact everything from energy to inflammation!
