In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Doriana Parkin — a family physician, mom of three, and health coach helping women through the menopause transition. We dig into why doctors often miss the mark on nutrition, the truth about hormones and weight gain, and why fiber deserves way more love than it gets. We also cover red flags in supplement marketing, pseudoscience on social media, and how strength training transformed her life after 40. Whether you're a busy mom or just trying to sift through the noise online, this episode gives you clarity, confidence, and a few good laughs.
