In this heartfelt conversation, Sarah shares her personal journey into the world of menopause and how it inspired her passion for supporting women during this transformative time of life. We dive into the importance of addressing lifestyle factors beyond hormone therapy, and why it's so crucial to listen to our bodies. Sarah beautifully guides us into embracing quiet moments of self-reflection and quieting that inner critic. We chat about taking responsibility for our thoughts and reactions, and how these small shifts can lead to powerful personal growth during menopause. Her own journey with weight gain in menopause led her to research what was happening in her body. She realized that whatever she did in her 30’s and 40’s to get back into shape after gaining weight, failed miserably now that she was 54 and post-menopausal. Her deep dive into study and talking with other women struggling with menopausal weight gain led to her passion; helping women have optimal health in menopause.
