Perimenopause happens for us and not to us. This is our second spring, a time for more confidence and clarity.
In this enlightening episode of the Soberful podcast, host Veronica Valli sits down with Bria Gadd, known as the 'Period Whisperer'. As a certified holistic health coach and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Bria delves deep into the intricacies of perimenopause, a significant hormonal transition affecting women typically between the ages of 35 to 55. This period, often compared to puberty or postpartum, brings about substantial changes that many women are unprepared for due to a lack of education and awareness.
Bria shares her personal journey into the world of hormonal health after noticing alarming changes in herself and her clients. Despite believing she had her health figured out, she experienced anxiety, undeserved weight gain, and disrupted sleep patterns, which led her to seek professional guidance. Realizing the vast undereducation in female hormonal health, Bria dedicated herself to understanding these changes and educating women on how to navigate them.
A key takeaway from the discussion is the concept of 'health debt', a state where the body's energy supply fails to meet its demands, often exacerbated by alcohol consumption. Bria emphasizes the importance of sobriety during this midlife transition, as it aids in reducing health debt and stabilizing hormonal levels. She advocates for a conscious approach to managing stress and maintaining energy balance to support hormonal health.
Bria's mission is to empower women with knowledge about their bodies, helping them embrace perimenopause not as a challenge but as an opportunity for growth and clarity. She highlights the potential for women to thrive post-menopause, suggesting that this phase can be a 'second spring' for creativity and success. Listeners are invited to explore more of Bria's insights through her podcast, The Period Whisperer, and her social media platforms, where she continues to advocate for women's health and wellness.
By understanding and managing their hormonal transitions, women can unlock their full potential during midlife and beyond.
