Angela presents a special episode in which she discusses the changes that occur in women's bodies during perimenopause and menopause, focussing on the way women store fat shifts, with a transition from storing fat around the hips and thighs to storing more around the abdominal area.

Angela stresses the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management in combating these changes, as well as the potential benefits of hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, for bone density and cognitive function.

"The distribution of that body fat is changing… So how do you combat that? It's going to be through the right nutrition and the right exercise and managing sleep and stress."

"Taking hormones, like hormone therapy in terms of estrogen and progesterone, is super helpful for bone density and brain fog, but it's not like a magic elixir."

"Your microbiome, contained within our gut, is a mixture of healthy and less healthy gut bacteria… There is a specific group of bacteria that can cause or release something called beta glucuronidase."

"If you're in perimenopause and you're not ovulating every single month, you're producing less progesterone. This can make you more prone to things like anxiety and symptoms of estrogen dominance."
