About this listen

 This is a re-release episode with the brilliant Jackie Lynch, Registered Nutritional Therapist and author of The Happy Menopause. I just love that title! Jackie’s work is all about how nutrition can help us flourish in midlife and beyond. ✨ Book news! Jackie’s latest book The Happy Menopause Guide to Energy: Nutrition to Rejuvenate Your Brain & Body is now out. While her original book The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition to Help You Flourish is a symptom-by-symptom guide you can dip in and out of, this new sister copy takes a different approach. It’s essentially a journey through one of her clinical programmes in book form. So many of the women Jackie sees in her clinic struggle with physical and/or mental energy in midlife, so she decided to take a deep dive into the subject. In this new book, she guides readers through a step-by-step process to regain mental clarity, physical stamina, and overall vitality. It helps you pinpoint what’s draining your energy and create a tailored action plan to rejuvenate brain and body. Available now in book, ebook, and audio form, in all the usual places.
