## Resource

The Midlife Grace Podcast featured a conversation between Ginger and holistic therapist Vera Jackson about perimenopause and hormonal health. Vera shared her personal journey of overcoming hormonal issues through nutrition and her decision to help other women navigate menopause. They discussed the natural hormonal changes that occur in a woman's 40s, including brain fog, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. Vera emphasized the importance of understanding these transitions rather than trying to "fix" them. They also explored common nutrition mistakes during perimenopause, such as restrictive dieting, and the benefits of incorporating healthy fats and magnesium. The conversation concluded with advice for listeners to embrace perimenopause as a natural transition and to listen to their bodies' needs. www.subscribepage.io/c7UlqA Vera's Instagram where she regularly shares health tips with followers: https://www.instagram.com/vera.jackson.well.being/ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
