Episode 71: Navigating Hormones & Menopause with Ivy Emery & Andrea Zimmerman

from But FIrst Pivot · host Danielle Rancourt, RD

This episode gives you sneak peak inside our Pivot Alumni Community. I’m joined by two experts in women's health, Ivy Emery and Andrea Zimmerman, both nurse practitioners and menopause specialists, as we dive into the hormonal changes that come with perimenopause and menopause. We’ll simplify the science behind these shifts and break down how depleting hormones can affect everything from energy levels to mood—and what you can do to feel better. Ivy and Andrea also offer an overview of various hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options, addressing common misconceptions and fears many women have about treatment. Plus, we emphasize the importance of foundational habits that support your health during this phase—like heavy strength training and adequate protein —because taking care of your body now can make all the difference in your future well-being. This episode is packed with insights and practical advice to empower you as you navigate perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Tune in for expert answers, real talk, and tips to feel your best during this transformative time! _"I wish I would have heard this information 30 years ago!" _- 72-year old Pivot Nutrition Coaching Graduate Book: https://thepauselife.com/pages/the-new-menopause-book Host: Danielle Rancourt, MS, RD, CSSD, LD Owner & Lead Dietitian of Pivot Nutrition Coaching Connect with Dani on Instagram or by visiting her website at pivotnutritioncoaching.com Guests: Ivy Emery and Andrea Zimmerman: Women's Health Nurse Practitioners and Co-Owners of Harmoni Wellness Facebook Instagram
