Can you explain the hormonal changes that occur during menopause and their impact on the body and mind? On your website you say, "I believe every woman deserves to be empowered in midlife and menopause. I help women take back their lives through education, support and sane strategies." What are some insane strategies you see circulating, re: handling the menopause transition? Is menopause weight gain inevitable? If so, what’s the cause? Hormones? Calorie surplus? Both? Where does the extra weight usually show up? Is it possible to "spot treat" belly fat? To get rid of it with a special tea or supplement? When is HRT/MHRT the right choice? When is it not?
