Menopause Q&A - Your Most Frequent Questions Answered

The 30-Day Natural Menopause Reset: Your Most Common Questions, Answered

Menopause isn’t just a medical milestone — it’s a deeply personal transition that can affect every part of your life. Some women breeze through it, while others feel like their bodies and minds are completely out of sync. In my latest podcast episode, I tackle the most common (and most personal) questions women ask me about menopause.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are normal, if you should consider hormone replacement therapy, or if there are natural ways to support your body through this stage, this episode is for you.

Stress or Menopause?

One of the first questions many women ask is: How do I know if what I’m feeling is menopause or just stress? It can be confusing, because symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and sleep issues can overlap. Understanding hormone changes is the first step in separating the two and getting real clarity.

The Hot Flash Question

Is it normal to have hot flashes this often? The answer is yes — but that doesn’t mean you just have to live with them. There are simple, natural tools that can help ease their frequency and intensity.

Weight Gain and Low Energy

Many women say, “I’m gaining weight even though I haven’t changed my eating habits.” This is one of the biggest frustrations of menopause. The truth is, shifts in estrogen and progesterone change the way your body uses and stores energy. The good news? Lifestyle changes like protein-focused nutrition, strength training, and light exposure can make a huge difference.

Sleepless Nights and Mood Swings

Waking up at 3 a.m. and not being able to fall back asleep, or feeling like your moods are all over the place, can be a direct result of fluctuating hormones. In the episode, I share strategies for balancing your circadian rhythm and stabilizing your emotional health naturally.

Do You Really Need HRT?

Another big question: Do I really need hormone replacement therapy? For some women, HRT can be life-changing. But it’s not the only option. Diet, lifestyle, and natural support can be powerful tools for balancing hormones without medication.

Skin, Hair, and Confidence

Changes in skin and hair are often a shock — but they’re a normal part of the hormone shift. Supporting your body with proper nutrition and light exposure can help maintain vitality. And the idea that menopause means giving up on feeling sexy or confident? Absolutely not. This is a stage of life where self-worth and self-value matter more than ever.

Thriving Beyond Menopause

The key question is: What actually works to stay healthy and strong after menopause? In the episode, I break down practical steps that support not just survival, but thriving — with energy, confidence, and strength.

✨ If this resonates with you, I dive even deeper in my book:

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

240 Hour Water Fast Completed

That's 10 whole days for those of you who are bad at math. :) Wow, what an accomplishment. I can't believe that I had the willpower to stick to this. How did I know it was time to break the fast? Hunger returned with a vengeance last night. Also, weight loss has really slowed down in the last couple of days. I guess my body was running out of things to munch on. Well, I could still think of a few places but we have to trust the system. I woke up this morning very excited and started with some kefir to replenish some of the intestinal bacteria before my first meal. I'm now enjoying a nice cup of matcha tea with extra cream and a bit of bone broth protein (I swear it tastes like hot chocolate, yum!) and thinking about what my first proper meal will be. I still have some broth left so I was thinking of perhaps making some cream of mushroom soup and pretty much sticking to liquids today but the day is still young. Will keep you guys posted.
