July 28, 2025 #326: Thriving Through Menopause, Building Muscle, & Fighting Misinformation w/ Dr. Doriana Parkin
In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Doriana Parkin — a family physician, mom of three, and health coach helping women through the menopause transition. We dig into why doctors often miss the mark on nutrition, the truth about hormones and weight gain, and why fiber deserves way more love than it gets. We also cover red flags in supplement marketing, pseudoscience on social media, and how strength training transformed her life after 40.
