Welcome to another episode of the Stop Making Your Bed Podcast, where we debunk daily norms and explore various essential topics. Today's episode is dedicated to a subject largely kept under wraps in our society - women's health, with a focus on menopause.

Listen in as we engage in a profound discussion around issues relating to every woman, challenging age-related stereotypes, and promoting an open conversation on the menopause journey. Our valuable guest, Lisa Donaldson, a well-known menopause dietitian, brings her vast experience to enlighten us about the complexities of perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal changes in women.

Recognise how these alterations can sometimes be misdiagnosed as mental health issues and learn the significance of women taking charge of their health. Understand why it is vital we support women during this remarkable period in their lives and, most importantly, why we must encourage dialogue to break the stigma tied to women's health.

Going beyond conversation, we address strategies for navigating this critical transitional phase of perimenopause. Unravel why nutrition is key to balancing our health and coping with perimenopause symptoms and how the 'four legs of wellness' framework applies to our overall well-being.

This episode is rich with insights on advocating for women's health needs, stress management, the importance of diet, hydration, physical activity, good sleep habits during perimenopause, and more. Plus, we delve into the role of popular diets from various cultures known for their longevity, alongside practical questions around water intake, caffeine's impact during perimenopause, and the significance of treating your body kindly during this period of transformation.

Listen, learn, and take control of your health during this transformative period. Let's lead the change and break the stigma associated with women's health together!
