In this episode, I'm talking about a culinary medicine class I recently completed, offered by George Washington University and my local community college. The class, designed specifically for food service professionals, emphasized the importance of health and diet, particularly through the lens of the Mediterranean diet. 

As a heart attack survivor, we get into the deeper dive into the diet's benefits, including its potential to alleviate menopausal symptoms. I'll also fill you in on a new offering—Menopause Meal Plans—featuring curated recipes, shopping lists, and a private Facebook group to support women in adopting healthier eating habits.
