Did You Say Over 100 Menopause Symptoms?

Brain fog, itchy ears, and phantom smells? Yep, those are real menopause symptoms, and chances are no one warned you about them. That's why I sat down with Andrea Donsky, a brilliant Menopause Researcher, Nutritionist, and Host of the Menopause Reimagined podcast. With nearly 350K TikTok followers and decades in the wellness space, Andrea's on a mission to change the way we talk about this season of life, and trust me, you'll feel so seen after hearing what she shares. We chatted about the 100+ symptoms women are dealing with (some that honestly blew my mind), how to support your body with simple nutrition shifts, and why magnesium and omega-3s might just be your new best friends. Andrea also opened up about the reality of low libido and sleep struggles, things so many of us face but rarely talk about. If you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or just plain tired during perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone, friend. This episode is full of truth, tools, and a whole lot of hope. And before you go… I've got something fun to share! I just launched a new flavor of my favorite superfood drink, Mighty Maca Mango, and it's giving summer in a glass. Pour it over ice, mix it with sparkling water, or make a batch of popsicles. It's refreshing and full of goodness. You can check it out at dranna.com!   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.
