I love to talk about “breezing through menopause” because I want you to be able to enter the second half of your life - the second spring - with joy and connection, and in the best health you’ve ever experienced.
However one of the biggest struggles women face at this turning point in life is sudden weight gain. This often happens despite not having made any changes to exercise or food patterns. What is going on?
Join me and my guest, Debbie Potts, personal trainer, health coach, and triathlete who also went through what seemed like an “overnight” change in her body.
Debbie’s book is Life is not a race; it’s a journey and that’s exactly what we talk about in this can’t miss episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show. You’ll discover:
