## Resource

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Andrea Donsky — nutritionist, menopause educator, entrepreneur, seven-time published menopause researcher, certified perimenopause and menopause health coach, founder of Morphous, and author of Nourishing Menopause — for a practical conversation about the symptoms, nutrition, supplements, and mindset shifts women need in perimenopause and menopause. Andrea shares how one conversation at a party opened her eyes to the reality that menopause involves far more than hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Her research now tracks more than 100 symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, memory changes, anxiety, libido loss, joint pain, focus problems, and changes in metabolism and body shape. Then the conversation turns practical: magnesium, fiber, omega-3s, vitamin D, blood sugar balance, protein, good fats, digestion, plants, hydration, seed oils, CGMs, stress, and why women need to relearn how to care for their bodies in this season. Andrea also shares her non-negotiables around gratitude, mantras, spirituality, and her belief in an angelic team as part of her daily health rhythm.
