Transitioning into menopause affects every woman differently. But too many see medications as universal cures and restrictive diets as superior ways of dealing with menopausal symptoms.

Instead of regarding medication and special diets as the be-all and end-all, it’s time to start approaching menopause in a more holistic way. And luckily, that conversation is happening more rapidly with the help of women like Dr. Jen Gunter.

In part two of my interview with her on The Wonder Women Podcast, you’ll learn about some of the interesting research she’s seen in the menopause space and the importance of this conversation starting early for women as we look at menopause more holistically. Dr. Gunter will also discuss the foundation of menopausal symptom intervention, the fallacies of super restrictive diets, and more.
