Menopause Reimagined with Andrea Donsky
✨Welcome to Menopause Reimagined.✨
I'm your host Andrea Donsky, a Multiple-Award Winning nutritionist (almost 20 years), and I'm IN menopause. I'm a Menopause Educator, Menopause Researcher, and the Co-founder of www.wearemorphus.com, a company dedicated to helping you manage your menopausal symptoms.
The goal of this podcast is to empower you to take control of your perimenopause & menopause symptoms with nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, research and hormones (if that's what you choose to do) so you can thrive through this phase of your life.
No topic is off limits because I'm on a mission to banish the stigma of menopause by talking about it openly and honestly.
You're NOT crazy and you're NOT alone because we have each other. 💜
