For decades, the topic of menopause has been overlooked, misunderstood, and undertreated. As more science emerges, more experts are sharing the truth about how women’s brains and bodies shift during this important, transformative change. On today’s show, you’re going to learn about what actually happens during menopause and how to embrace and reclaim menopause.
Today’s guest, Dr. Mindy Pelz, is a New York Times bestselling author, functional health expert, and a leading voice in women’s health, hormonal health, and aging. She’s back on this episode of The Model Health Show to share the science and tangible takeaways from her new book, Age Like a Girl.

You’re going to learn about how using lifestyle practices like weightlifting and fasting can help women balance hormones, eliminate brain fog, and boost their energy levels. You’ll learn why there is so much misinformation and outdated narratives surrounding menopause, the science of neurochemical shifts, and how midlife can be a time to step into leadership and purpose.
