Welcome to Season #3 of the podcast with a new title "Menopause Conversations Podcast". This is the place where we openly discuss the issues that impact women as they move through peri-menopause and beyond.

Many women start to notice changes to their body and their hormones as they reach their mid-forties and they struggle to find someone who understands and can support them. This is why the Menopause Conversations Podcast was created.

This podcast is not just about how to treat hot flushes (though we will cover this topic and many more) it is also about the emotional, social and spiritual changes that can occur at this time of life.

My name is Angela Counsel, I am a Naturopath & Kinesioogist and I am your host for this podcast. Each week I will bring you experts on different topics, as well as speak to women who are open to sharing their personal stories about how they transitioned through menopause. If you have topics you would like covered please email me - angela@angelacounsel.com.

I hope you enjoy the podcast.
