Ep. 365: Making Menopause Your Bitch with Esther Blum

Menopause comes for all of us, whether we’re ready for it or not. We’re all about embracing getting older, but shit, it would be nice to at least feel good about our bodies as we age! Today we’re chatting with Integrative RD + Menopause Expert, Esther Blum, about her new book, “See You Later, Ovulator” and how to make menopause your bitch. For so long, women have faced medical gaslighting around our hormones and what happens in our bodies through peri-menopause and beyond. Fuck that! It’s time to be our own advocates and get our hormones in check. Being a woman over 50 doesn’t mean we have to go bald or look like men anymore!
