In this episode of the Thrive on Plants Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Brooke Bussard, physician, personal trainer, plant-based health coach, and author of Outsmarting Menopause. Together, we dive into a conversation every woman deserves to hear.

We’re rewriting the narrative around menopause. This is not the end, it’s your power phase. And you absolutely CAN outsmart it, with the right tools, the right training, and the right mindset.

We talk about what’s really happening with your metabolism, hormones, muscle, and energy in midlife and what you can do about it. If you’re plant-based or plant-curious and navigating perimenopause or post-menopause, this is for you.

In this conversation, we explore:

∙ Why muscle is your most powerful tool for longevity and hormone balance
∙ How to fuel your plant-based body to support strength, energy, and recovery
∙ What to do when you feel wired but tired; understanding cortisol, sleep, and fatigue
∙ The surprising connection between gut health, estrogen metabolism, and bone strength
∙ How to stop “shrinking” yourself and start training with purpose.

This episode is an invitation to step into your strength, to challenge outdated beliefs, and to take ownership of your health, no matter your age.
