Today's interview is with Dr. Fiona Lovely, a Chiropractor who is passionate about women's health, perimenopause and menopause, and holistic health. I was a guest on her podcast as well, and I'm so excited to have her on mine. There are some fantastic nuggets around women, how our brains and pleasure experience are different than men's, and how the beliefs we are brought up with can impact our stress at this time in our lives.

1:10 How Dr. Fiona Lovely got interested in women's health, perimenopause, and menopause, and why she became a chiropractor
5:14 The brain and its relationship to common symptoms like brain fog, memory lapse, forgetfulness, anxiety, and lack of focus. How metabolic and hormonal changes impact brain health.

18:43 How we detoured for procreation and signed up for two jobs and be great "little men."
20:14 How we forgot our job is to receive.
21:20 Distinctions between a woman's brain and a man's brain when it comes to pleasure.

31:20 Overthinking and calming the nervous system by getting into your body with movement. How we've been taught to forget to take care of ourselves by being productive and its impact on our health.
38:03 Discharging trauma and the inheritance of trauma.
