Heather is the go to for all things menopause, nutrition, food and cooking when you are 40 and beyond. She tells it like it is, with a kind and compassionate heart because she’s also been there in the trenches. Love her stories and interviews. Take a listen, you won’t regret it!

Heather is such a wonderful host! Very professional, personable, and had great questions. Great experience, thank you, Heather!
I love Heather’s podcast! She has such a wide variety of topics and I can always find something I can relate to. Even better, her warm, supportive style is so welcomed in the wellness space. Thank you Heather! 🙏🏽Susie Pettit
