We learn: The stages of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause Why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help women even if they don't have symptoms like hot flashes The best diet for women over 40 including how much protein to eat The best exercise for women over 40 (it's not Peloton and Orange Theory) The importance of regulating your nervous system (stress makes perimenopause and hormonal health worse!)
