The symptoms and experiences that women go through during menopause are not often discussed, but is a very important topic. The consequences can range from mild discomfort to debilitating hot flashes, with a lot of missed moments and helpless feelings along the way. This week Gianna Micheli — author, speaker, and outspoken menopause coach for millions of women joins the show to give us some tips on feeling sexier, healthier, and happier than ever before. She talks about the inspiration behind her book, Why American Women Are So Fat, Sick, Tired & Angry, and how she helps women find the root cause of their issues. She and I also discuss what to do to improve menopause symptoms, and why you may want to put down that cup of coffee in the morning.
