Take care and see you in September, Melinda

One of the big questions of Departure Menopause is how we can support deep health during the menopause transition, without the focus on weight.

Intuitive Eating, a model of non-diet nutrition, was created in the 1990s by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. It’s been the subject of hundreds of research studies.

This week, I’m thrilled to have Amber Hanson, LN, CNS, join us on the show to discuss her work, which focuses on improving people's relationships with food and their bodies through a weight-inclusive approach grounded in Intuitive Eating principles.

Tune in to hear:

🪴 An understanding of the principles of Intuitive Eating

🪴 Examples of Intuitive Eating in practice

🪴 How we might engage with Intuitive Eating if our interoceptive awareness is different with neurodivergence

🪴 Amber’s experience of perimenopause

🪴 Our discussion on the cringe-ier aspects of “nervous system healing” and what’s feeling helpful here

🪴 Melinda and Amber’s low-caffeine and alcohol journeys

👋 I’m back on the mic this week with a solo episode.

🔮 This week, I'm sharing what I've been discovering the past couple of years as I go deeper into perimenopause, and that crystallized in April with an autism diagnosis.

So, with my previous diagnosis of ADHD, this makes for what we call AuDHD, which is a whole new lens to look at life.

This episode walks you through my story, from the time that I first learned about lesser-known presentations of autism in highly masked adults, especially women and AFAB people.

I share the resources and support throughout my diagnosis process, and where I’m at today, three months later.
