LET'S TALK MENOPAUSE: Nutrition, Exercise, and Supportive Partners with Dr. Jen Ashton and my husband, John

I AM DONE COUNTING CALORIES.  The majority of your questions throughout this series have been about nutrition and exercise, so, let’s talk about how we can best prepare our bodies for this time in our lives, beginning in our 30’s. The pursuit of skinny is killing us. We need to be STRONG.  I somehow convinced my husband John to be part of this conversation–I can’t wait for you to hear his take. It’s important that our partners know what we’re going through and how they can support us.  John and I are joined by a dear friend from my past life in TV News, Dr. Jen Ashton, who recently left ABC News as their Chief Medical Correspondent and has since founded Ajenda, a women’s health company.  She’ll give us tips on how we should move, what we should eat, plus the magic formula to getting our daily protein!
