#71. Menopause Mastery: The Midlife Reset Every Woman Needs

Have you been told your symptoms are “just part of getting older” — even though you feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, and unlike yourself?
In this solo episode, I uncover the truth about midlife and menopause — and why so many women are left dismissed, confused, and struggling. For too long, menopause has been pathologized as a disease, rather than understood as a natural transition that requires a new approach.
