If you’re a woman in your 40s or beyond wondering why your body suddenly isn’t responding like it used to — this episode is for you.

Host Dawne Hanks sits down with Allyson Spungin to unpack what’s truly happening during the pre and post-menopausal transition. From the science of hormonal shifts (hello, estrogen and progesterone drops) to real talk about body composition changes, emotional curveballs, and why fasting or workouts that once worked suddenly don’t, this episode offers insight, empowerment, and practical ways forward.

Allyson shares how she supports women through this season by looking at the whole person not just lab results or symptoms. They discuss the importance of asking the deeper questions: Where are you at? What’s your story? Where do you want to go from here?

This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to stop feeling like your body is betraying you and start learning how to work with it.
