Listener Q&A - HRT, Soy, Weight Gain, and Overwhelm

from The Vegan Menopause Podcast · host Anna Pelzer

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the most common questions I hear from women navigating menopause on a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. The questions I answered were: 1:10 Do I need to take supplements on a whole foods plant-based diet?  3:30 How can I do all these wellness activities when I'm so overwhelmed and it feels like another part-time job? 5:17 Why does menopause make me feel so tired?  6:45 Should I avoid soy during menopause? 8:15 What are your thoughts on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)  9:50 Why am I gaining weight even though I'm vegan?  I hope this conversation helps you feel more informed and less overwhelmed.  As always, this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
