41/Raw Rerun: Fitness meets menopause in our chat with Amanda Thebe

A rerun of our fun and informative discussion with fitness expert Amanda Thebe, a force of nature when it comes to thriving in menopause. Amanda’s hellish journey in perimenopause spurred her to research and write Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too. With three decades of experience in the fitness industry, Amanda brings proactive positivity—and lots of laughs—to the menopause table, crafting a toolkit made up of four hacks: how to eat, how to move, how to manage stress, and how to think.

Here's what we discussed with Amanda in Part 1 of our chat:

• being unwell in perimenopause
• feeling isolated in the struggle
• common & uncommon symptoms
• vertigo & migraines
• our mothers dropped the ball
• Amanda’s alien birth
• emotional & mental health 
• hormone therapy and its stigma
• doctors untrained in menopause management
• simple treatment options
• bringing facts to the doctor
