My Warrior Mama: The Journey from Hormone Chaos to Thriving in Menopause
Why Self-Care is the Key to Your Success
Women in our society have been taught for decades that being miserable in menopause is unavoidable. The truth is, menopause can be filled with wisdom, grace, and vitality if we are able to listen to our bodies and improve our overall health. By supporting your body with natural remedies like nutrition and supplementation, you can live a high vitality life in your 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and beyond.
Managing Menopause Naturally with Maryon Stewart
Maryon Stewart has been helping women manage their menopause naturally for 28 years. She is the author of Manage Your Menopause Naturally and 27 other books, a world-renowned healthcare expert, was awarded the British Empire Medal in 2018, and was recognized as one of the 50 most inspirational women by the Daily Mail. She is passionate about helping every single woman discover the knowledge they need to embrace menopause with ease and grace.
The Building Blocks of Health
The first step to managing your menopause naturally is to determine where your body is lacking nutrients. Nutritional deficiency is something that most women have, and it can affect your hormone function and brain chemistry.
By using food as the building blocks, you can address your symptoms head-on and start making changes in the right direction. While it is important to recognize that different things work for different women, it is possible for every woman to do all of the things they want to do in life without being overwhelmed by symptoms.
You Are Not Alone
As women, we have so much to offer the world. And as we get older, we only get wiser and bring more to the table. This is why us being healthy is such a critical part of this journey.
There are many symptoms out there that aren't discussed, making women feel alone in this journey. But you are not alone! All it takes is the right mix of natural solutions like supplementation, food, self-care, and anti-inflammatory practices to help you feel vibrant when stepping into this next phase of your life.
Are you ready to address your underlying causes so that you can embrace high vitality menopause? Share your thoughts or what you are struggling with, with me in the comments section of the episode page.

It’s a sad reality that most doctors realize the risks of nutrient deficiencies that come from being on the pill…
Yet a majority of women are unaware of these effects until they suddenly feel exhausted, are struggling to get pregnant, or are facing other unexplained symptoms.
Today I’m unpacking why hormonal birth control has this effect on your body as well as the top nutrient deficiencies you need to watch for, especially if you have been on the pill for any length of time. Tune in to hear...

If You Are Ready to Recommit Yourself to Exercise, You Should:
As women, we have been conditioned to believe that the harder and longer we work out, the better results and metabolism we'll get. While regular movement is critical for our heart, bones, brain, metabolism, hormones, and muscle, it is about the type of exercise and the length of time that really make a difference.
Flipping 50 With Debra Atkinson
Debra Atkinson has helped over 200,000 women “flip” their second half with the vitality and energy they want. A wellness coach, hormone balancing expert, and the founder of Flipping 50, Debra is passionate about helping both women and men get metabolically fit through methods they enjoy and provide powerful lifestyle changes. With her 37-years of full-time fitness experience, she is an expert at helping women in menopause take back control of their bodies.
Recommitting Yourself to Exercise
Many of us have found our exercise routines plateauing and our waistlines getting bigger throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about if you can relate to this feeling and want to recommit yourself to your exercise routine.
But did you know that it can take as little as 20 minutes a day of strength training to see the metabolic recovery you have been searching for? Debra’s approach is all about exercising smarter, not harder so that you can master your metabolism and get your fitness working for you.
Get More Out of Your Workouts for Less
Burning your mind and body out through exercise will never support your body in the way it needs to be supported. By focusing your workouts on achieving muscle fatigue, rather than the number of reps or minutes you spend at a machine, you can increase your metabolic rate and give your body the rest and recovery it needs to thrive.
While exercise is vital for women of every age, it is especially important to have a tailor-made plan to set your body up for success during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. By checking in with yourself, stopping overdoing it, and learning what is not working for your body, you can get more bang for your buck when it comes to your workouts and health.
Are you ready to reset, get back on the saddle, and create a plan to benefit your metabolism and your hormones? Share what accountability tools you are going to use, like the 10 Day Hot, Not Bothered Challenge, to get moving again with me in the comments on the episode page.

No One Is Exempt From Heavy Metal Exposure
You might think that there is no way that you could be exposed to harmful toxins in your everyday life. But the truth is, you could be exposed to these toxins by coming in contact with the paint on your walls, the water that you drink, or the foods that you eat.
Heavy metals are no joke, and even if you are not experiencing serious health issues, these toxins are accumulating in your body, and no one is exempt. If you are struggling with hormone issues, there is a very good chance that heavy metals and toxicity are playing a role.
Daily Detoxification Habits That Can Cure Your Hormone Symptoms
The good news is that with daily detoxification habits, you can improve your overall health and facilitate your body's natural ability to extract these harmful toxins.
By eating organic, using natural products, and supporting your liver, you can set your body up for success. Environmental toxins and heavy metals may seem avoidable in our modern lives, but Wendy has the knowledge you need to cure your hormone issues and reduce your daily toxic load.

Have you ever found yourself feeling like your worth is tied to your weight or what size you wore? The diet culture we face in the US is intense and unhealthy, so shifting your mindset around food and your body is an important part of self-love and self-acceptance.
You Are Not Alone with Brianna Wilkerson
Brianna Wilkerson is a Holistic Health and Life Coach who helps women find peace with food, feel confident in their bodies again, and develop a healthy lifestyle that’s more than just about their weight. She is passionate about helping women invest in the things in their lives that truly matter and is here to be honestly vulnerable about the fact that you are not alone.
Your Worth Is Not Dependent on Your Weight
No matter what happens with your weight, your career, or your productivity, the people that love you will still be there for you. This is a very different narrative from the story society has told us that our worth is tied to our looks, youth, and success.
The truth is, if we stopped spending so much time and energy hating our bodies, we would show up in the world in a radically different way. This is why we need to get real with ourselves about how we want to feel in our bodies to accept that our worth is absolutely not tied to our size.
Finding Food Freedom
Our relationship with food can impact everything from our emotional health to our dieting habits. By arming yourself with self-care rituals and checking in with yourself before emotionally eating, you can find ways to replace your not-so-good habits with ones that encourage sustainable change.
Being proactive and setting yourself up for success is the best way to find your unique version of food freedom and can help you feel nourished in all areas of your life.
Are you ready to break free from emotional eating and longing to find peace with food? Share how you will shift your mindset and swap habits that help you appreciate your worth with me in the comments section of the episode page.
