On this episode of the Kerby Method podcast, Linda Mench, a clinical board-certified nutrition specialist, joins us to discuss her work in helping women during perimenopause and menopause.
She explains the difference between her role as a nutritionist and that of a counselor or dietitian, and how she develops personalized nutrition plans based on lab results and medical history.
We dive into the use of the Dutch test for hormone analysis and explore the importance of open conversations about menopause.
We also touch on the benefits of personalized nutrition, managing stress and cortisol levels, and the launch of Linda's Menopause Project.
Tune in for valuable insights and support during this stage of life.
