Navigating the Journey of Menopause

In this episode of the Soulful Science Podcast, Heather and Shanna open an honest conversation about menopause and perimenopause—two phases most women enter without enough education or support. They break down common symptoms, why so many women feel unprepared, and how shifting hormones can impact identity, mental health, and daily life. They explore why strength, nutrition, and lifestyle matter more than ever during this transition and touch on the gaps in medical training that leave women advocating for their own care. The conversation encourages listeners to understand their bodies, seek proper support, and embrace menopause as a powerful new chapter. Below are a few suggestions on items you might consider when entering perimenopuse to help make the process less overwhelming!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
