Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

If you think today's episode is a "diet" episode, think again!  We are talking about food for nourishment aside from the macros and micros of food.  Barb Sheldon is a food literacy instructor, social activist, podcast host and author who has a profound belief in the therapeutic power of food.  This is a conversation about what nourishes us.  

Barb teaches us about "radical hospitality" and the act of sharing our wisdom with others as what can give us purpose at menopause.  Our experience, our wisdom becomes deeply useful for others and what better way to share than around a pot of homemade soup?  

This conversation was eye-opening and deeply nourishing for me, and I hope you find it the same.
