Menopause is a period in a woman's life marked by numerous challenges that often coincide with major life changes. It's a time when you may be responsible for caring for aging parents while also dealing with shifts in your career, relationships, and other aspects of life.

Plus, during menopause, your hormones can go on a rollercoaster ride, with estrogen levels dropping. This can result in extra belly fat and muscle loss, leading to weight gain, particularly around the midsection. These changes can significantly affect your self-confidence and how you perceive yourself. Therefore, gaining knowledge and insights to manage this phase effectively can be truly helpful.

So in this episode, we have a special guest, Dr. Susan Baumgartel, who is the creator of 'Menopause Menu,' a free resource and blog website designed to provide support for menopause and beyond. This platform aims to help women navigate the challenges and changes that come with this significant life phase. With her 30 years of experience as an internal medicine physician, Dr. Baumgartel brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the discussion as we delve into topics related to women's health, aging, and well-being before and during menopause.
