In this episode, I sit down with board-certified nurse practitioner Colleen Renee to break down what is really happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause. We go beyond the surface-level conversation about hormones and uncover why so many women experience fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and slow recovery, and what you can actually do about it. If you have ever felt like something is off but your labs come back normal, this conversation will open your eyes to the deeper biological shifts happening in midlife and why traditional approaches often miss the mark.

We also dive into one of the most overlooked keys to supporting your body during this phase, glutathione, known as the body’s master antioxidant. You will learn how it can help reduce oxidative stress, support detoxification, improve energy, and promote overall wellness. This episode is a powerful reminder that menopause is not a decline, it is a new chapter of wisdom, strength, and self-advocacy. If you are ready to feel more energized, supported, and empowered in your body, this conversation will give you both the understanding and the tools to begin.
