Dear Menopause

105: Stress Management and Aging Gracefully with Despina Kamper


Listen Later

Join me for a fun and insightful conversation with Despina Kamper, a respected naturopath and nutritionist, as she shares her journey of addressing stress management for women over 40.

Discover how stress, rather than just diet, plays a pivotal role in overall health, as Despina highlights the critical brain-gut connection. Learn from her experience conducting anxiety awareness workshops and retreats designed to help women manage stress and improve their quality of life.

We explore the significant benefits of proper breathing techniques, particularly during the perimenopausal and menopausal stages, and challenge the social stigmas surrounding aging. As a personal trainer, I reflect on the surprising challenges of teaching clients to breathe correctly, underscoring diaphragmatic breathing's role in reducing stress and enhancing wellness.

We also segue into a broader discussion on self-worth and beauty for women navigating this pivotal life stage.

You will learn about the empowering spaces created at Despina's retreats, where women can connect and share experiences in intimate settings like the Greek islands and the Hunter Valley in Australia. These retreats offer more than just relaxation—they foster personal growth, community, and a revaluation of intrinsic qualities over superficial markers.

Despina's insights will remind you of the continuous journey of self-discovery and the profound connections that can emerge from shared experiences.
