Happy New Year, Reader! 2024 was FULL of exciting things happening in both my business and personal life, and I’d love to share some updates with you!
Here are my favourite Instagram posts from 2024:
New on the blog: Vegan icon, Victoria Moran, discusses Ayurveda, Menopause, and Aging Like a Yogi. In the interview, she shared personal experience with bioidentical hormones and some lifestyle practices to help with menopause. January health tip: If the early nightfall is leading to fatigue or depression, try getting 10-15 minutes of morning light exposure, whether from a walk outdoors or a SAD lamp. Essential oils from the citrus family (lemon, orange, grapefruit) can also help! Hope these resources are helpful for you on your menopause journey! Talk soon! Anna P.S.

But if you’re struggling with fatigue, cravings, muscle tone, or hair health, getting enough protein might be more important than you think. In my latest blog post, I discuss: Why protein needs increase in menopause When protein powder might be helpful What to look for in a quality vegan protein...
Hi Reader! Today I want to talk about an often overlooked nutrient in menopause. Zinc!
