The Midlife Pivot: Nutrition, Nervous Systems & New Paths

from Wild, Wise & Curious... · host Michelle Haggerty-Wood & Lou Baker

For our 50th episode, we’re diving into The Midlife Pivot - the moment so many women hit during perimenopause when symptoms, identity and daily life start shifting in ways that just can’t be ignored. Our guest, Zo, shares how her journey began during lockdown with dry mouth, 3am wake‑ups and hot flushes, and how not being able to take HRT pushed her to explore other forms of support. She talks about using her background in nutrition and going back to basics with nutrient‑dense foods, the power of nervous system regulation, and how EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) became a lifeline. We also explore the importance of community, why workplaces need to understand menopause better and how Zo now supports women through groups, 1:1 work and corporate consulting - see below to find out more. A grounded, practical and deeply human conversation - and the perfect way to mark 50 episodes of honest, real‑life storytelling.
