LYL PODCAST EPISODE 123: Drop the Menopause Weight (Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast Ep. 96)
My whole body image issue started when I was in ballet as a child. I was always bigger than the other kids and we had to wear these waistbands around our waist. It was just this little band of elastic, but it always just made me feel so fat. I was a nine-year-old girl and […]
LYL PODCAST EPISODE 124: What Does Fat Have To Do With Weight In Menopause? (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 95)
When it comes to food, I always go back to Hippocrates who said, “Let food be thy medicine.” But living in a society (especially here in America) where everything is run by corporations, I saw a big change in how we eat. In the 80’s we lost the family farms, then we stopped regional eating. […]

LYL PODCAST EPISODE 127: Thriving In Any Circumstance (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 47)
I spend a lot of time with the women in the Menopause Movement and we talk a lot about belief, and how it shapes our reality. My favorite story about belief is when my mother said something about her brothers who were doctors and that they were rich. My five-year-old self said, “I can’t make […]
LYL PODCAST EPISODE 128: How MENO-Mate Amanda Got Her Mojo Back (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 34)
Some say that with menopause, we just have to go through it. And some have gone through it for 5 years, 10 years, and even 20 years. Even I remember my surgeon friends telling me that I just have to suffer through it. I wasn’t having any of it because I believed there must be […]
LYL PODCAST EPISODE 129: How to Get Started With Intermittent Fasting (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 37)
Fasting for me was always steeped in religion. I was raised Catholic, and I learned all about Jesus and his 40-day fast while he was being tempted. During my teenage years, I was kind of religious (I would fast trying to prove my loyalty to God). As I went through medicine, I discovered that intermittent […]
