The Gutsy Chick’s Guide to Eating Well (Without Losing Your Mind)

In this episode of the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant and joy-filled Edie Hoppen—a holistic health coach, gardening enthusiast, and the creative force behind the Meno Monster Quiz—for a refreshingly fun take on menopause, food, and midlife wellness. We talk about why your old health habits might not be working anymore, how to stop obsessing over the belly bloat, and how oxytocin (a.k.a. your feel-good hormone) can be the key to making food and life joyful again. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “When did this stop being fun?”—this episode is for you. Let’s reframe midlife, one monster at a time. In this Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Gutsy Chicks and Edie's Journey 01:37 Understanding the Meno Monster Quiz 04:00 The Role of Cortisol and Fun in Health 06:00 Making Food Fun Again 11:28 The Importance of Eating the Rainbow 13:24 Addressing Sleep Issues and Nutrition 15:17 Finding Humor and Joy in Menopause 19:08 Gardening as a Source of Joy 26:18 Life as an Experiment: Learning and Growing Here’s how to connect with Edie Hoppin: Quiz: www.menomonsterquiz.com Web site: www.ediehoppin.com Other links mentioned: The Secrets of Body Whispering Private Podcast: https://bodywhisperhealing.com/private-podcast --Watch Cosmic Body Shenanigans Podcast on YouTube!Check out more from Amanda:Website: Body Whisper HealingInstagram: @Amanda.G.SmithFacebook: Body Whisper HealingPinterest: AmandaGSmithBWH LinkedIn: Amanda (Ritchie) SmithTake the Cosmic Sensitive Quiz to find out what stresses you out most and why.
