Real Food Stories

What if everything you thought you knew about menopause was wrong? Discover the truths about the menopause transition and how nutrition can play a crucial role in managing its symptoms. Join Heather Carey on the Real Food Stories podcast as she unpacks the bewildering journey through menopause, breaking down the hormonal shifts and challenging the mixed messages from media and medicine. Learn the clinical definitions of menopause and perimenopause, and get familiar with a wide range of symptoms, from the common hot flashes and night sweats to the more obscure joint pain and burning sensations.

We also confront the pervasive myth that menopause signals the end of your sex life.
