117. Perimenopause & Menopause: What Every Mom Needs to Know


Listen Later

In this episode, host Brooke sits down with her friend and fellow registered dietitian, Liz Riesen, to have an honest, empowering conversation about perimenopause and menopause. Liz brings over 10 years of clinical experience specializing in hormone health, gut health, and advanced functional lab testing and she's here to help you understand what's actually happening in your body so you can stop guessing and start feeling better.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

  • The earliest signs of perimenopause and why they're so easy to miss
  • How perimenopause is actually diagnosed
  • How long does it last?
  • Hot flashes, hormones & why your experience is unique
  • Metabolism, weight gain & the mistakes women are making
  • Nutrition foundations that actually move the needle
  • Supplements Worth Considering
  • Supplement Red Flags to Watch For
  • Perimenopause and menopause don't have to feel like something happening to you they can be a season you navigate with knowledge, support, and the right tools in your corner.

    As Brooke and Liz both emphasized, there is so much hope, and the lifestyle and nutrition changes you make today can make a huge difference in how you feel for years to come.

    Whether you're in your 30s noticing subtle shifts, or deep in the thick of symptoms in your 40s and 50s, the message is clear: don't wait, don't guess, and don't go it alone. Get your labs done, work with a qualified provider, nourish your body with protein and fiber, move your body with intention, and support your nervous system first.

    Your hormones are not your enemy and with the right support, this next chapter can be one of your best yet.
