This week we are joined by Zora Benhamou from the Hack My Age podcast to explore what the best diet is when going through menopause. We discuss the challenges and societal narratives surrounding menopause, particularly focusing on hormone health and innovative weight management strategies. By rethinking traditional beliefs about hormone replacement therapy and exploring the potential of peptide therapy, we'll equip women with the knowledge and confidence to navigate menopause.
