In this episode, Sandi speaks with Eileen Franco, Holistic Menopause Wellness Coach and founder of Radiant Wellness Company.
Eileen shares her holistic health journey, why she became a menopause wellness coach and how women can make lifestyle changes to better navigate this important change.
Eileen brings her certified Project Management Professional (PMP) experience from the corporate world to the table and understands what working women are going through when they are walking through peri-menopause and menopause.
She talks about energy depletion, insomnia, depression, severe brain fog, hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms due to the hormonal imbalance.
The three stages peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause and usually overlap. Eileen talks about the hormone command center.
Eileen talks about the controversy between traditional doctors vs functional medicine practitioners regarding adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue includes brain fog, anxiety, salt craving, blood sugars issues, low libido, etc. Overproduction of cortisol can lead to adrenal fatigue.
Eileen says you need to change your lifestyle–after taking care of others, it’s time to recreate yourself to support you and your body.
“Self-care is how you take your power back,” according to Eileen.
Her self-care routine includes yoga with relaxing music, crocheting, sitting outside in nature (grounding), and dancing cardio.
She’s inspired by women who have overcome struggles and gone on to help others. She is inspired by Oprah. In July Eileen shared her story in Oprah’s The Life You Want class. Eileen applied to be on the panel and was selected!
Eileen talks about the importance of educating men too so that they can support their partner when the women in their life is going through menopause.
Eileen has 1:1 coaching as well as an 8 week group program to help women transition to a healthier lifestyle. She also has a DIY digital program as well.
