Feeling “off” in your 30s, 40s, or 50s? Hormone imbalances may be the reason and now is the time to act. Bria Gadd also known as The Period Whisperer is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer. She helps women move past hormonal chaos by focusing on root causes rather than quick fixes. 

In this conversation, Bria shares her own perimenopause journey and the lessons that shaped her work from understanding health debt to managing stress and supporting gut health. We also discuss metabolic typing, including the concept of “oxidizers” how your body’s rate of turning food into fuel can influence whether you thrive on higher-protein or higher-carbohydrate foods.
