Menopause is often talked about as something women just have to “get through”, but what if that’s not the full story?

In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Jennings from Jennings Holistic Health for an honest conversation about menopause, health, and what’s really happening beneath the symptoms.

We talk about why some women struggle deeply during this stage of life while others seem to breeze through, and why menopause itself isn’t the root cause - but often the trigger. Steve shares a holistic perspective shaped by decades of experience supporting women (and couples), and explains how stress, immune health, gut health, sleep, nutrition, and emotional load all play a role during this season.

We also explore common myths, the role of HRT, how partners can better support women through this transition, and why your body isn’t broken - it’s communicating.

This conversation is for women navigating menopause or perimenopause, and for partners who want to better understand what their loved one is experiencing. It’s grounded and focused on long-term wellbeing - not quick fixes.
