Rebranding Menopause, Knowing When to Indulge Your Cravings, and Loving Your Cycle w/ Dr. Mindy Pelz

Healing Lifestyle Design

Welcome to today's podcast with my guest Dr. Mindy Pelz. I first heard Dr. Mindy speak on a panel that Dr. Zach Bush organized regarding nutrition. And if you're not aware of Dr. Zach Bush, absolutely look him up. So Dr. Mindy piqued my curiosity because she was talking about how we can alter our lifestyle choices throughout our cycle to optimize how we feel and our wellbeing, plus how to move through menopause with more joy and ease.

I believe our cycle is a magical gift. I of course didn't realize this when I was younger, but since my healing journey, I see it as more clues that represent how well we are. If we tune into our own being and cycle the changes moment to moment, day to day, month to month, we can then make choices that are better aligned with our highest good or optimal wellbeing.

And I know that at 44, one of my values is loving up my cycle for as long as possible. And moving through menopause with more ease. We also chat about the beauty and wisdom that has held in aging and the need for all women to value and look forward to our wiser older years, never stopping, being curious, exploring.
