30: Flourish: Well-Being Through Menopause and Beyond
Manage episode 507028053 series 3547678
Let’s get real about something most women don’t talk about enough: perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
This stage of life isn’t just about hot flashes and mood swings—it’s about identity, power, and permission. It’s about rewriting the old narrative that says women should just quietly endure this chapter. Menopause isn’t an ending—it’s a transformation.
That’s why I’m so excited to be joined by Alison Bladh, an award-winning registered nutritional therapist, hormone health expert, and author of Have a Magnificent Menopause: A Straightforward Guide to Looking Good and Feeling Great. With more than 35 years in the health and wellness industry, Alison brings an evidence-based, functional medicine approach to helping women thrive through these hormonal transitions.
In this conversation, we unpack:
- Why so many women don’t recognize perimenopause symptoms—and how to spot them.
- Alison’s practical, no-nonsense strategies to improve energy, focus, and sleep.
- The role of protein, hydration, and movement in supporting your body through hormonal changes.
- How to stop “chasing sleep” and finally rest like a queen.
- Why stress management and boundary setting are essential tools in this season of life.
- The importance of reducing ultra-processed foods and making sustainable swaps that actually fit into a busy lifestyle.
Alison also shares why knowledge is power when it comes to menopause and how to navigate the flood of (often conflicting) information out there. Her book isn’t about theory—it’s a hands-on guide with practical tools you can actually use.
Whether you’re approaching perimenopause, in the thick of it, or finding your rhythm on the other side, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone, and you absolutely have the power to embrace this transformation with confidence.
