After we released episode 107 with Susan Northey and spoke about menopause we had an overwhelming response from you guys so this time we are going to delve even further into the topic.

I am very excited to introduce you to Chrissy Freer, an accredited registered nutritionist (RNutr), researcher, health author and recipe creator with over 20 year’s industry experience. She specialises in women’s health and is passionate about supporting women’s nutrition, health and wellbeing, especially during perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Chrissy’s passion comes from her own experience with menopause that absolutely threw her through the ringer and was only exacerbated by an initial misdiagnosis by her doctor.

I know this is going to be a truly eye opening and educational episode.

In this episode she shares:

• Her experience with the menopause transition
• How her perimenopause was misdiagnosed as anxiety
• The ways her menopausal anxiety felt different to her
• When she finally started to realise her problem was linked to perimenopause/menopause
• Some of the symptoms and issues you can experience during the menopause
• The negative self-talk she had around her menopause
• The steps she took next to manage her menopause
• How she started to get her sense of identity back
• Why women need resistance training later in life for their long-term health
• Some of her key nutrition advice for women during menopause and midlife
• Why removing all carbs can actually exacerbate menopause
• The first place to start when figuring out your menopause journey

Key Quotes
