Menopause rarely announces itself.
It often begins with subtle shifts. Sleep becomes lighter. Brain fog lingers. Blood sugar feels unpredictable. Your mood feels unfamiliar.
In this episode of Fuel Your Joy, we examine what is actually happening beneath those symptoms and what the research now shows you can do about it.
I’m joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova, endocrinologist and Director of Clinical Research at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, along with Elizabeth Melillo, who shares her personal experience navigating menopause with both discipline and openness.
If you want clarity on soy, hormones, cardiovascular risk, and how food can support you through menopause, this episode offers both evidence and practical direction.
