Welcome to today’s most practical podcast episode, where we’re diving into one of the most common and confusing questions for those navigating menopause after cancer: "How should I be eating?"

We know how overwhelming it can be to understand what works best for your body after cancer treatment, especially when menopause throws in extra challenges. 

That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you this incredible workshop featuring Julie Webb, a leading nutritionist and expert in menopause and cancer nutrition.

She’ll answer questions like:

  • Can diet help improve menopause symptoms like anxiety, flushing, and fatigue?
  • Is there a "menopause diet"?
  • How can I eat to support my heart and bone health?

Many women also join me in our community so you can learn from their stories as well.
