“I feel better than I’d felt in so long! Mental clarity, the energy… so fantastic.”

What if I told you the woman who said that is currently in perimenopause? She is—and she’s my guest on today’s episode of the podcast.

If you are going through, will go through, or have gone through menopause, this conversation with Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert, Esther Blum, just might change your life.

In our discussion, Esther explains how you can tell if you’re really in perimenopause and introduces the principles that will drastically improve your well-being as your hormones shift. We cover a wide range of topics, like nutrition, caffeine, HRT, the importance of calming your nervous system, and when your workout may be doing more harm than good,

Plus, Esther gives specific advice you can act on today. I promise you are going to walk away from this episode feeling so empowered to improve your health for the future!
