In this episode, Claudia sits down with Tonya Romano, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and co-coach inside The Perimenopause Method, to talk about her personal journey into menopause - a few years earlier than expected.

From losing her period in her 40s to discovering the power of functional testing, nutrition, weight training, and hormone therapy, Tonya's story will resonate with any woman wondering if what she's feeling is "normal."

We covered:

The early signs Tonya experienced that hinted something was off
What it was like going through menopause in her 40s
How her doctor didn't give any solution other than hormonal birth control
How a functional approach to health helped improve her symptoms
The mindset shifts and lifestyle changes that helped her feel like herself again
How she navigated HRT and finding the right provider
What she wishes more women did to prepare for menopause
How her experience shapes her work with clients inside The Perimenopause Method
