Are you wondering if you should be taking supplements to support your health in your menopause journey?  In this episode, I share five of my favourite supplements that I often recommend for vegans transitioning through menopause.

Note:  if you are vegan, I am assuming that you are already taking care of your B12 and vitamin D.

To purchase the supplements mentioned, visit my dispensary here.  I do recommend consulting with a practitioner to determine whether the supplement is appropriate for you, as well as dosage amounts.
