Menopause Resources and Recommendations

Where to Turn, What to Ask, and How to Find the Right Care

We’re back to our menopause series! So far, I’ve been sharing lots of information about what we can do to age healthfully, protect our bones, build muscle, and navigate the changes that come with menopause—all with the goal of leveling up with strength, vitality, and confidence so we can continue to thrive in the years ahead.

But today, I want to focus on how to find the care and support we need to do all of these things.

Thankfully, there are more resources and options available than ever before, but how do we know where to turn, whom to trust, and what questions to ask?

In this episode, I’ll share some of those resources and recommendations, along with my own experiences and those of women I’ve worked with, to help you navigate your options, advocate for yourself, and find the support that’s right for you.
