In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jennifer Woodward, a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner specializing in guiding women through perimenopause naturally.
Jennifer shared valuable insights into addressing hormone imbalances and provided practical solutions to navigate this phase with grace.
Here is some of what she shared with us:
Recognizing perimenopause symptoms
Recognizing perimenopause symptoms is crucial, and Jennifer emphasizes the value of paying attention to sleep disturbances, weight changes, anxiety, depression, and menstrual irregularities.
Managing fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels
The conversation highlighted the importance of managing fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels, recognizing perimenopause symptoms, and prioritizing stress management and self-care practices.
Proactive stress management
Jennifer advocates proactive stress management, urging women to prioritize self-care, deep breathing, and mindful practices to reduce chronic stress and support hormone balance.
Jennifer also shared her inspiring perspective on embracing the mindset of abundance and positivity, encouraging women to focus on nourishment, positivity, and repletion in their journey through perimenopause. A fantastic message for all of our HBS podcast listeners.
