In this week's podcast episode, I sit down with the incredible Lara Briden, naturopathic doctor and author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Reset. We dive into the complexities of perimenopause and menopause, discussing everything from natural hormone-balancing strategies to the real impact of stress, nutrition, and exercise. Lara shares insights on how lifestyle changes can alleviate symptoms, the role of progesterone, and why bio-identical hormones matter. If you’re over 40 and navigating hormonal changes, this episode is a must-listen!
