Let's talk about menopause.

When I was in my twenties, most of my nutrition clients were in their 50s. I would talk to them about hot flashes, low libido, and weight gain and "what they could do about it," exercise more, eat less, you know, the drill.

I remember a few of my clients laughing at me and saying, "Oh, honey, in thirty years, give us a call and let us know what you think of the advice you're giving us!"

Fast forward to 2020, when I was forced into INSTANT menopause after my breast cancer diagnosis, and oh goodness, I'm mortified by my lack of compassion and understanding of menopause in my twenties.

Today's guest is Dr. Corinne Menn. She's a menopause expert, a world-renowned OB-GYN, and a twenty-four-year breast cancer survivor.

Dr. Menn explained that a recent study discovered that only 7% of ob/gyns were comfortable talking to their patients about menopause.

WHAT?!? Who is supposed to help us?

How about our quality of life, including sleep and weight gain? Not to mention the higher risk of heart disease.

And should we talk about sex? I think we should.

Sex can be incredibly painful during the menopause years.

Dr. Menn is here to help!

Her advice regarding tackling these menopause challenges was invaluable. I loved her tips on weight loss and sleep, and I will say it again: SEX!

When I began detoxing my life after being diagnosed with cancer, I felt overwhelmed and confused. I thought I was already making good health choices, but the more I researched, the more I discovered that small changes could lead to significant improvements.

For instance, switching from tea bags to loose-leaf tea can help prevent additional microplastics from accumulating in my body. These plastic particles can affect my hormones and contribute to inflammation.

This was such a simple swap! I was so encouraged that I started to make more simple swaps.

And now, I have an Amazon Store listing many of my favorite detox tips!

Air Doctor

I’ve been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year, and I absolutely love it!

I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I’m so glad I made the investment.

Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, it just makes me smile knowing it’s doing such a great job keeping my air clean!

We all have those regrets about things we wish we had done or known sooner in life, don't we?

Lately, I've been having some fun on my podcasts by asking guests what advice they would share with their younger selves. The answers have been so surprising and insightful!

It made me think about what advice I would give my 25-year-old self.

I'd tell her:

• Don't make decisions based on fear.
• Push the pause button before you respond to a negative situation.
• Don't WORRY! God will always work it out.

I hate to admit that I've spent a considerable chunk of my adulthood making decisions based on fear.

Fear complicates, and truth liberates.

I wish I would have understood that in my younger years.

But it's never too late, and I can tell you that cancer changed me.

I had a choice of being frozen by fear or pushing the pause button when fearful thoughts came rushing in. Pushing the pause button, for me, meant taking a moment to breathe, ask more questions, gather more information, and not get caught up in the whirlwind of fearful thoughts.

I can't say that I never go down the rabbit hole of scary thoughts, but it happens much less often than it used to! That's progress, baby.

Listen to today's podcast if you're ready to conquer fear with simple tips. My interview with guest Jamie Winship transformed my life.
