We're bringing back another great episode for our special Menopause Matters Season — this time with the fabulous Tania Dalton.

Tania is a healthy aging coach and fitness trainer, known for her inspiring approach to redefining what's possible as we age. She's passionate about showing that menopause isn't an ending, but the beginning of a whole new chapter.

Since we first recorded this episode, Tania has continued her mission, working as an online health coach helping women over 50 regain their energy so they can thrive in their careers and their lives. She's also launched an exciting new venture — the Midlife Women's Clinic, an online service for Australian women navigating perimenopause. The clinic provides education and connects women with GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Naturopaths, Psychologists, Nutritionists, and other experts who specialise in perimenopause.

Tania brings such inspiration and practical wisdom to this conversation, sharing how lifestyle choices can transform how we age and how midlife can be the most empowering time of all.

Here's what we cover:
