Today, I am blessed to have a conversation with menopause educator Andrea Donsky. Andrea shares her 14-year journey through perimenopause, highlighting symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and sleep disturbances. We discuss the importance of understanding and managing these symptoms through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplements. Andrea emphasizes whole foods and strength training, while I introduce the concept of "Vitamin G" for gratitude. Andrea's research, including surveys with over 5,000 women, underscores the need for better education on menopause. This episode aims to empower women over 40 to take charge of their health.
