When Your Body Changes the Rules: Making Sense of Menopause (w/Integrative Health Practitioner, Jen Oknin)
You’re trying to eat well, move your body, and take care of yourself…so why aren’t the things that used to work giving you the same results?
Perimenopause, menopause, and life beyond can leave you wondering what’s going on with your body. Integrative health practitioner Jen Oknin, founder of Modern Midlife Woman, joins Sandy and Lanée for an honest chat about the changes we weren’t prepared for and how to get support.
We talk about:
More than hot flashes: Brain fog, joint pain, sleep changes, and gut concerns.
Weight changes in midlife: Why the conversation needs to go beyond the number on the scale.
Protein and strength: Nourishing your body and maintaining muscle.
Hormone replacement therapy and GLP-1s: Jen’s perspective on these options and the questions worth asking.
Making your health personal: Discussing symptoms, bloodwork, and supplements…and speaking up when you don’t feel like yourself.
Whether you’re approaching menopause, experiencing changes now, navigating life after menopause, or supporting someone you love, there’s room for you in this conversation.
Press play for encouragement, a few “oh, that explains a lot” moments, and questions to bring to your next doctor’s appointment. Then share this episode with a friend who’s been wondering, “Is it just me?”
