Key Nutrients for Perimenopause & Menopausal Women09 May 202500:28:04

Perimenopause and menopause are transitional phases that can bring on a range of symptoms, from hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, and disrupted sleep to muscle loss, fatigue, and changes in metabolism. And while these shifts are completely natural, they can also feel overwhelming and unpredictable.

In this episode, we're joined by a Naturopathic Doctor Kate Rheaume (inactive) to help us make sense of it all. We'll explore some of the most commonly recommended supplements that can support women through these changes, like creatine for muscle and brain health, ashwagandha for stress and hormonal balance, and herbal remedies like black cohosh for relief from hot flashes and night sweats.

Whether you're currently experiencing symptoms, preparing for the transition, or supporting someone who is, this conversation is full of actionable insight, holistic tools, and expert guidance to help you feel empowered in your body.

Ada Dettenkofer-Leahy, Senior Buyer at Jo Anne's Place and wife of Peter Leafy from Merrylynd Organics, is joining us today to share her passion for health and the importance of choosing organic products to reduce our exposure to glyphosate.

In this episode Ada shares about common foods that contain glyphosate, the long term effects of glyphosate accumulating in the body, and how to reduce your exposure to glyphosate.
