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 […]

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.

LYL PODCAST EPISODE 108: Regional Food and How It Can Help You
I grew up in Washington state. My dad would drive us to see my grandparents and there were always wheat fields on the way (then we would stop to take wheat kernels and eat them). With COVID, we’ve seen a rise in home farming. I remember being the first one on my block to have […]
