    In this episode of Hotflash inc host and journalist Ann Marie McQueen talks to EJ Kim and Marina Pen, founders of Nnabi, one of the few companies exclusively focused on perimenopause. EJ and Marina share their personal journeys through perimenopause and the challenges they faced that inspired them to create Nnabi.

    Nnabi's mission is to educate and support women navigating the complexities of perimenopause, and they’ve launched two innovative supplements aimed at enhancing overall well-being during this transformative life stage. These supplements are crafted with carefully selected, clinically tested ingredients to address key areas of health impacted by hormonal fluctuations, including mood, energy, digestion, and stress management.

    Highlights:

    • EJ and Marina's personal experiences with perimenopause and the struggles they faced.
    • The lack of resources and awareness about perimenopause when they started Nnabi.
    • The science and philosophy behind Nnabi's flagship products, such as the Peri Essential 5 supplement, formulated to provide holistic support for women.
    • Insights on the importance of community, education, and empowerment for women in perimenopause.
    • How Nnabi is addressing perimenopause as its own stage, separate from menopause, to provide tailored solutions.
    • The broader conversation about hormonal health, the role of supplements, and the ongoing need for research in this field.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Perimenopause can affect every aspect of life, and understanding symptoms is a crucial first step.
    • Education and holistic support can help women navigate this life stage with confidence and clarity.
    • Supplements like Nnabi’s Peri Essential 5 are designed to complement other strategies, such as lifestyle changes, and even hormone therapy.

    Kitty Blomfield is a powerful voice in helping women navigate all the BS around food and movement and get their metabolism back. She is co-founder of the comprehensive fitness and nutrition program Nustrength, with her husband Craig, where she helps women get out of the never-ending cycle and get the bodies and minds they want – many of them in perimenopause. She’s also co-founder of Saturee, a skin-care and supplement company.

    In this podcast, Kitty shares her journey from struggling with restrictive diets and stress-induced health issues to discovering the benefits of metabolic health and strength training, inspired by the work of Dr. Ray Peat. Their discussion delves into the importance of consuming nutrient-dense foods, like liver and oysters, the power of proper strength training, and the transformational impact of addressing emotional health. She gives practical advice on starting simple exercise routines, the significance of nourishing the body, and the positive changes that embracing a realistic, long-term approach to health can bring.
