If you’ve ever thought, “What is going on with me?” — this episode is your lifeline. In Part 1 of our two-part menopause series, Jodi welcomes Ashley Basilio — certified personal trainer, menopause health coach, and founder of Get Fit With Ashley — to decode what’s really going on in your body during perimenopause and menopause.

Together, they uncover why menopause is so much more than hot flashes, how hormonal shifts affect nearly every system in your body, and why identity loss is real (but so is empowerment).

What You’ll Learn:

Why menopause is technically just one day — and what the four stages actually are
How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact your mood, metabolism, sleep, and more
34 surprising menopause symptoms — including itchy ears and brittle nails (yep, really)
The long-term effects on brain, bone, and heart health and so much more.
