Explore every episode of the podcast Feel Fabulous with Ru-tee Podcast

Ever woken up and genuinely could not find your car keys, only to discover them in the fridge three days later?

Welcome to menopause, gorgeous.

In this episode, Ru-tee gets brutally honest about the symptoms nobody warns you about. The mood swings that come from nowhere. The brain fog so thick you forget what you were saying mid-sentence. The cravings, the bloating, the sudden inability to choose a nail color (true story, recorded the day before her 60th birthday).

Oh, and there are howler monkeys howling in the background the entire time. Because that is just how podcasts get made in the jungle.

Ru-tee breaks down why your body is essentially running on a brand new operating system that nobody gave you the manual for, why talking to yourself like garbage is wrecking your nervous system, and the small, doable changes that actually move the needle (protein, sleep, sugar, and giving yourself some grace).

This is not a polished, sanitized menopause podcast. This is real, this is funny, and this might be exactly what you needed to hear today.

Ever wondered why menopause feels so relentless? The anxiety, the sleepless nights, the belly fat that won't budge no matter what you do? In this episode, I'm diving into the one thing that most women and most doctors completely overlook: your nervous system.

Joined by the wonderful Ashley, wellness and retreat business consultant, I'm answering the questions you've been too exhausted to even Google. We cover why so many women in menopause feel constantly wired and on edge, what's really going on hormonally underneath that, and why pushing harder, more exercise, less food, more willpower, actually makes everything worse.

We also talk about the early warning signs that your nervous system is struggling (waking up between 2 and 4am, anyone?), and I share five practical things you can start doing right now to bring your body back out of fight or flight and into rest and digest.

This one is honest, a little bit jungle-chaotic, and very, very real. Because that's how we do things here.

If any of this resonates, come and find me. You are not alone in this and you were never supposed to white-knuckle your way through it.

Have you been hit sideways by menopause and feel like you don't even recognise yourself anymore? You are not alone and this episode is for you.

In this very first episode of Feel Fabulous with Ru-tee, I'm sharing my personal story and it's not a pretty one. At 50, I went from being a confident, experienced kinesiologist and personal trainer with over 30 years in the health and fitness industry, to being on crutches with severe inflammation, crippling anxiety, and agoraphobia so bad I couldn't leave my house.

Menopause didn't just knock me sideways. It completely floored me.

But here's what I learned on the other side. This wasn't just a hormonal story. It was an emotional one. A spiritual one. And once I started doing the deeper work, the breathwork, the past life regression, the nervous system healing, the nutrition reset, everything began to shift.

In this episode I talk about:

• Why menopause is so much more than a hormonal imbalance
• How inflammation, anxiety and agoraphobia showed up in my body and what they were really telling me
• The inside-out approach that changed everything for me
• Why the mask we wear in midlife eventually has to come off
• The one thing I want every woman who feels lost right now to hear
