Eps 426: Menopause in Your Early 40s? The Symptoms Started Years Earlier with Cindy Dupuie

The average age of menopause is around 51.

So what happens when menopause arrives years earlier than expected?

In this episode, I sit down with functional nutrition practitioner Cindy Dupuie to unpack her personal experience of being thrown into menopause at age 43 and the important lessons women can learn from it.

You'll learn why so many women dismiss their body's whispers as "just aging," how estrogen affects far more than fertility, and why understanding your unique hormone story is one of the most powerful things you can do for your long-term health.

Tune in to discover how to become more proactive about your health, ask better questions, and better understand the changes happening in your body.
