  • Aging Powerfully in Perimenopause with Melissa Grelo: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

    Aging Powerfully in Perimenopause with Melissa Grelo: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
    Apr 29 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with journalist, TV host, and podcast powerhouse Melissa Grelo as she opens up about how the pandemic, perimenopause, and a type-A personality collided in the perfect storm. One that had Melissa taking 20+ supplements a day, spending a small fortune on every test imaginable, and ultimately landing in her doctor's office with liver disease.


    In this episode:

    • The very real (and under-talked-about) dangers of supplements, and what Melissa's liver has to say about it
    • Why the women most committed to their health are often the most vulnerable to the supplement trap
    • Why evidence-based information is your best defence against the wellness industry's very expensive bullsh!t
    • The unglamorous, unsexy lifestyle pillars that are the key to aging powerfully
    • Melissa's live event in Calgary on May 16th; bringing the experts, the science, and zero supplements to sell you


    Getting duped doesn't make you stupid, it makes you human. And if Melissa's story sounds familiar, this episode might just be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.
