Menopause does not have to mean losing yourself. Award-winning nutritional therapist and bestselling author Alison Bladh reveals the simple, science-backed shifts that can help women feel calmer, stronger, and more in control through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Host Dr. Favour sits down with Alison Bladh to unpack what is actually happening in the body during this transition, why symptoms like brain fog, hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, and stubborn weight gain can hit so hard, and why the answer is often far less complicated than you think. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this conversation brings it back to basics in the best way.
You’ll discover:
- Why menopause is a long transition, not a single moment
- The difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause
- How hormone fluctuations affect mood, energy, skin, confidence, and weight
- Why refined carbs and ultra-processed foods can worsen symptoms
- The everyday habits that actually make a difference, from water firstthing in the morning to post-meal walks and deep breathing.
Alison also shares why so many women are told to simply "push through" when what they really need is support, education, and a plan that fits real life. She explains how blood sugar, stress, protein, whole foods, and strength training all play a role in helping women protect their bones, muscles, metabolism, and long-term health.
The conversation gets even more personal when Alison shares a powerful client transformation - a woman who arrived exhausted, depleted, and close to giving up, and slowly rebuilt her health, confidence, and energy through targeted nutrition, testing, and sustainable lifestyle changes. It is a reminder that menopause symptoms are not something you just have to endure.
Essential listening if you are in your 40s, 50s, or supporting someone who is, and want practical ways to feel better without extreme diets, guilt, or guesswork. Midlife can be a reset, not a decline.
