Today, Heather chats with Erin Todd from the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women podcast and Ashley Smith of the HA Society about how Ashley helped Erin get pregnant after 40. Even if you aren't looking to get pregnant, the trio talks about the beauty of how our bodies were made to signal and heal. They talk about perimenopause and the phenomenon of women getting diagnosed with early perimenopause. They discuss period loss, infertility, and Erin's personal story of working with Ashley to change the way she supported her body nutritionally in order to conceive. Here's what you can expect in today's show:

  • Helpful information if you've lost your period or had menstrual irregularity.
  • How Erin recognized that her intuitive eating had become based in habit and comfort.
  • What to do if your doctor's told you you are in early menopause or peri-menopause.
  • Erin's amazing story of working with Ashley, paying attention to nutrients, and getting pregnant.
  • How scary it was for Erin to have to pay attention to food again and log food, and how that can be a trigger.
