    Milestones and Menopause
    Jul 22 2025
    Sometimes the internet can be so helpful with sharing and creating dialogue but when it comes to health, fitness, and topics like menopause, it doesn't take much for the dialogue to shift into a less-than-helpful space where fear mongering and grifting create confusion and concern. So today, we're talking about that as well as how we are preparing for the menopause transition while we are still several years away from getting to it. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation!
