If Only I Hadn’t Gone Into Early Menopause: Turning Challenges into Strength

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn—one that disrupts your health, identity, and plans for the future? For Nirit Roddy, early menopause wasn’t just a medical milestone; it was a wake-up call that reshaped her relationship with her body, her goals, and her purpose.

In this deeply personal episode, Nirit shares how navigating early menopause became a turning point in her life. From struggling with energy, weight fluctuations, and a sense of losing control over her body, to finding new strength, clarity, and even the joy of adopting a child post-menopause—Nirit’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and heart.

As the founder of Fit with Nirit, she now supports midlife women with compassion and real-world strategies—but her journey didn’t start with a business plan. It began with a need to heal, to adapt, and to reconnect with her own vitality on her own terms.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. How early menopause challenged Nirit’s identity—and ultimately led her to reclaim her health.
2. The emotional and physical transformation that came from rethinking her approach to wellness.
3. Her decision to adopt a child after menopause, and what it taught her about love and possibility.
4. Tools for managing hypothyroidism and wellness in midlife—drawn from her lived experience.
5. Why it’s okay to fail, to pivot, and to begin again—especially when your body feels like it’s rewriting the rules

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever thought, “If only I felt like myself again…”—and is ready to explore what’s possible on the other side of that thought.
