In this episode, we covered my own essential, non-negotiable health "hacks" to help me thrive in perimenopause.

These are things that I believe all humans need in order to thrive, the not-so-sexy things like supplements, testing and biohacking tools.

While those things certainly help and I use them myself, what I'm covering in this episode are things that truly move the needle when it comes to your health.

These are things we've seen work with many clients over the years and things I make time for every day that give me energy, help my mood, digestion, maintain my weight and more.
