Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski dive into the deep dark waters of perimenopause with special guest, Amanda Thebe, author of the bestselling book "Menopocalypse." Amanda shares her personal journey of going undiagnosed for years while struggling with perimenopause symptoms, despite her background as a Fitness Expert.
Through Amanda's story, listeners will gain insight into the often-overlooked stages of menopause and the impact it can have on every aspect of a woman's life, from physical health to relationships. Amanda sheds light on the emotional toll of perimenopause, including its potential to strain marriages and lead to isolation if left untreated.
Drawing from her own experiences and research, Amanda discusses the post-menopause rebound and offers practical lifestyle changes to help women not only survive but thrive during this transitional phase. From addressing gut problems to navigating heart health and bone loss, Amanda emphasizes the importance of proven approaches to managing perimenopause symptoms.
But it's not just about physical health—Amanda delves into the financial impact of menopause, highlighting the lucrative yet often ineffective supplement industry preying on women's desperation for relief. She exposes the influence of influencers and the dangers of falling for magic fixes that promise quick solutions but deliver empty promises.
Listeners will also learn about Amanda's Tedx Talk, "Should Men Talk About Menopause," which explores the impact of perimenopause on relationships and the importance of open communication within partnerships. Through Amanda's honesty and vulnerability, women are encouraged to seek support and understanding from their loved ones rather than suffer in silence.
