In this episode, we discuss:
The three stages of Menopause.

The REAL menopause symptoms.
How we can work with Menopause and reduce our symptoms, and many more.
I would advise you to get your notebook because Pamela is a wealth of knowledge.
Pamela is an international certified integrated women's health coach and menopause in the workplace consultant with 20+ years of experience in the health and wellness sector. She understands the unique physical and psychological challenges that modern women face throughout their lives.
For five years, she struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and she was forced to quit employment and sell her home.
Despite how hopeless the situation felt, she decided to take matters into her own hands and reclaim her health. By adopting a whole new approach to health and wellness, she soon was on the path to recovery.
She is passionate about supporting and empowering women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. She has helped hundreds of women feel amazing (both inside and out).
She is a speaker and also menopause in the workplace consultant. She uses evidence-based practices to combine training and techniques with organisations, individual needs, and senior leaders. So collectively, we change the landscape of menopause for women of today and the future generation.
