Send us Fan MailWhat if you could navigate the unpredictable waves of menopause with confidence and grace? Join Shelly as she chats with Karen Cerezo, a nationally board-certified health coach who knows a thing or two about supporting women through midlife transitions. Karen's inspiring journey from teacher to wellness advocate shines a light on her passion for empowering midlife women, a group often overlooked in conventional fitness environments. Together, they explore her holistic approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive spaces that cater to women beyond the high-intensity realm of younger-focused fitness.Karen and Shelly openly discuss their own experiences with symptoms of perimenopause that often catch women off guard, like joint pain weight gain and sleep disturbances. They tackle the necessity of building a supportive community where women can talk openly about their life stages. By sharing stories, the hope is that going through these life transitions can be discussed more openly and frequently, much like the conversations surrounding puberty and pregnancy.The conversation also underscores the importance of understanding the health shifts that accompany menopause. Karen and Shelly highlight tools and techniques for tracking symptoms, such as Karen's book, "Navigating Menopause: A Comprehensive Tracking Workbook," which serves as a valuable resource for women to document and make sense of their health journeys. From the impact of hormonal changes on the microbiome to the emergence of new food intolerances, they cover a spectrum of topics vital for informed decision-making, leading to a more energetic, healthier way of life, helping more women embrace their unique paths to wellness.CONNECT WITH KAREN:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midlife_health_coachFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KarenCerezoWebsite: www.Midlifehealthcoach.comAmazon Link: Navigating Menopause https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DH2PWF67Freebie: Are You in Perimenopause health quiz https://www.midlifehealthcoach.com/quizCONNECT WITH SHELLY: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellnesswithshellyj https://www.instagram.com/momswhoflourishFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShellyJefferis A few of Shelly's favorite clean products:High quality, clean nutrition and beauty products: https://shellyjefferis.isagenixClean-crafted wine, free from chemicals & pesticides:https://scoutandcellar.com/?u=healthyhappyhoursJuJu Non-toxic candles & air fresheners:https://goodjujucandles.com/?ref=mrtgnyghCoupon code for 10% off: ShellyJefferisThank you for listening to the Words of Wellness podcast with Shelly Jefferis.
