Episode 016: Navigating Menopause: Holistic Health, Empowerment, and Celebrating Midlife Transitions

The MiDOViA Menopause Podcast

Embark on a transformative journey through the intricacies of menopause with us and our esteemed guest, Susan May, a menopause and midlife transition coach. We're tearing down the myths and embracing a holistic view of this life phase, one that goes beyond hot flashes and mood swings. Susan's expertise offers a beacon of guidance on how to align nutrition, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), mindset, and lifestyle tweaks to not just survive, but thrive during menopause.
Self-care takes center stage in our dialogue as we stress its crucial role in menopause management. Forget about the idea that taking time for yourself is indulgent—this episode champions the art of pausing, breathing, and setting boundaries as acts of power and self-preservation. We share stories of the small yet significant victories that come from embracing a balanced mindset, from choosing water over coffee to celebrating the functionality of our bodies instead of fixating on their form.
In closing, we delve into the insights from Lisa Mosconi's "Menopause Brain," accompanied by the refreshing perspective of Sue from midlifeevolved.com, who's breathing new life into menopause experiences with her unique menopause parties. Offering not just advice but a new lens through which to view the control we have in life, this episode is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and a reminder to find joy in every step of your menopause journey. Join us for a conversation that's about much more than symptoms—it's about shaping a life filled with purpose and pleasure during midlife and beyond.
