Today, we’re reframing the journey of menopause not as something to push through, but as an invitation to reset, rediscover, and reconnect with your body in a whole new way.

I’m joined by my dear friend Jodie Pappas, a wellness entrepreneur and holistic nutritionist, for an honest and empowering conversation about healthy aging, mindset shifts, and why what once worked for our bodies might no longer serve us.

Whether you’re in menopause, supporting someone you love, or just curious about this natural phase of life, you’ll walk away with fresh insights, deep compassion, and simple, science-backed tools.

We explore why old habits like intermittent fasting, excessive cardio, and the “hustle” mindset can actually make things worse—and what truly helps instead. From nutrition and sleep to self-compassion and grace, this conversation is about honouring your body and shifting your perspective.

This is your reminder: menopause is not the end—it’s a powerful new beginning.

Episode 6: Orthorexia, Healthy Eating Gone Bad with Joddie Pappas

About our Guest:

Jodie Pappas is a dedicated holistic nutritionist and entrepreneur with a passion for empowering menopausal and middle-aged women to embrace healthier, more balanced lives. Over the past decade, Jodie has worked closely with women navigating the unique challenges of midlife, whether through her nutrition coaching or as the founder of her skincare brand, Clean Kiss. She is known for her compassionate, non-judgmental approach, encouraging curiosity and self-compassion rather than rigid rules or shame.

Drawing from years of experience and countless conversations with clients, friends, and everyday encounters, Jodie champions gentle, sustainable habits over outdated fads. She educates women on the dangers of habits like chronic fasting, emphasizing instead the importance of stable meal timing, balanced macros, and especially prioritizing protein and fiber. By guiding women to listen to their bodies and nourish themselves without stress or deprivation, Jodie helps them rediscover wellness and confidence during a transformative stage of life.
