Episode 53 - Supplements, Snake Oil and Foundaitons.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the supplements I personally take to support my body through menopause. From probiotics to magnesium, omega‑3s to hormone therapy — I walk you through why I take them, what they help with, and how they fit into my overall wellness lifestyle.

✨ But let me be clear: I’m not here to prescribe or sell you anything. This episode is not medical advice — just one woman’s real-life experience navigating midlife with intention and curiosity.

We also talk about:

• Why your digestion might be changing during menopause
• How your skin tone affects Vitamin D absorption
• What thyroid changes might look like (even with “normal” lab results)
• Why I started taking ashwagandha during my divorce
• How I use creatine and collagen in my morning coffee
• The very real danger of unregulated “miracle” menopause products online

💡 Spoiler alert: No supplement replaces the basics — daily movement, hydration, protein-rich meals, sleep, and rest. And yes, I still eat butter and egg yolks. Everything in moderation, babe.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by menopause marketing or wondered whether you’re “missing” something, this episode will help you tune out the noise and reconnect with what actually works — for you.
