Welcome back to the Women’s Fitness & Health Revolution Podcast!

In this absolute doozy of an episode, we're peeling back the layers of menopause—what it is, when it happens, why it happens, and how it affects our beautifully complex bodies. From the basics of hormonal shifts and reproductive phases (hello, menarche to postmenopause) to the powerful roles of hormones, this episode is your crash course in how the female body transitions through perimenopause and beyond.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between pre, peri, meno, and postmenopause

Factors that affect the timing of menopause

The hormone dance behind your menstrual cycle (and why it matters)

Why tracking your period and symptoms is one of the best ways to advocate for yourself

And of course, a reminder that you are not broken—Menopause is NORMAL

Plus, I’m sharing personal stories, evidence-based info from Dr. Jen Gunter’s The Menopause Manifesto, and practical ways to support yourself through this transition.

Whether you’re pre, peri, post—or supporting someone who is—this episode is packed with info, tools, and a whole lotta compassion.
