Hey, I'm Catharine Adams, and welcome to The Meno Collective Podcast!
I'm an evidence-based perimenopause nutrition and mindset coach, and I'm here to help you cut through the confusion and overwhelm around midlife hormonal changes. My mission? To translate complex science into clear, compassionate, and practical strategies... without any pseudoscience, magic pills, or detox teas.
Every week, I'll dive deep into the real science of perimenopause and menopause, give you actionable tips for managing symptoms, nourishing your body, adapting your fitness, and building emotional resilience. You'll hear real-life stories from women just like you—women who aren't just surviving midlife, but thriving through it.
If you're ready to:
~Finally understand what's actually happening in your body,
~Feel seen, validated, and supported (without fear-based advice),
~Make small but powerful changes that boost your energy, mood, and confidence,
…then you're exactly where you belong.
Think of this podcast as your trusted companion through the entire perimenopause transition, no matter if you're just noticing the first signs or deep in the thick of it. Together, we'll make midlife your most empowered chapter yet. Why? Because we deserve it!
