Menopause Reimagined with Andrea Donsky
Welcome to Menopause Reimagined.
I'm your host, Andrea Donsky. I'm a Multiple-Award-Winning nutritionist (20+ years), and I'm in menopause. I'm a menopause educator, four-time published researcher, and co-founder of www.wearemorphus.com, a company dedicated to helping you manage your menopausal symptoms.
The goal of this podcast is to empower you to take control of your perimenopause and menopause symptoms through nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, research, and hormone management (if that's what you choose to do), so you can thrive during this phase of your life.
Menopause Reimagined is your trusted podcast and video series for women in midlife who want to tackle perimenopause, menopause symptoms, and the hormonal changes of aging—naturally, confidently, and without apology. We dive deep into women’s health research, sexual health, mental well-being, practical tips, supplements, and so much more, all with a focus on helping you thrive through every stage.
No topic is off limits because I'm on a mission to banish the stigma of menopause by talking about it openly and honestly.
You're NOT crazy or alone because we have each other. 💜
