Kris advocates for a probe at the doctor's office but Allie turns it into a potent game of Would You Rather?

Kris & Allie sit down with nutrition science and fitness expert Amanda Thebe, a force of nature when it comes to thriving in menopause. Amanda’s hellish journey in perimenopause spurred her to write Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too. With three decades of experience in the fitness industry, Amanda brings proactive positivity—and lots of laughs—to the menopause table, crafting a toolkit made up of four hacks: how to eat, how to move, how to manage stress, and how to think. We also talk about her “ta da!” list, policing the quackery, and loads of dildos.

• diet trends  
• intermittent fasting and keto diets
