Discover how to navigate the journey of menopause with confidence as we welcome back Angela Counsel, a passionate Naturopath and Founder of Embrace Menopause.
Angela shares her mission to support women through this transformative phase without relying solely on hormone replacement therapy. Listeners will gain insights into the deep connection between hormones and gut health, empowering them to make informed decisions. Angela offers a fresh perspective, challenging the narrative that menopause is negative and highlighting the positive possibilities of this natural life stage.
We'll untangle the complexities of menopause symptoms, focusing on holistic management over quick fixes. Angela guides us through the interplay of the brain, ovaries, and adrenal glands, and how changes in estrogen and progesterone affect more than just reproduction. By addressing underlying issues like insulin resistance, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies, we explore strategies for thriving during menopause. Historical and cultural insights remind us that women have thrived beyond menopause for centuries, emphasising the potential to embrace this stage with a positive mindset.
Angela's wisdom extends to embracing the physical changes that accompany aging, challenging societal pressures to conform to unrealistic beauty ideals. Learn a bit about the history and evolution of hormone replacement therapy, including the rise of bio-identical hormones. We explore hormone therapy's role and the importance of preparation during peri-menopause.
Angela also shares powerful stories of transformation, highlighting the role of community and lifestyle changes in boosting confidence and vitality. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and take control of your menopause journey.
