About this episode
Menopause isn’t just hot flashes and mood swings—it’s a massive wake-up call about how little women are taught about their own health. Michelle MacDonald sits down with award-winning TV host and menopause advocate Melissa Grelo to talk about the fitness mindset women need to thrive in midlife. Melissa opens up about her own struggles with perimenopause, the shocking lack of medical education on menopause, and why strength training is the key to longevity. They dive into the dangers of self-diagnosing, the marketing traps of the wellness industry, and why women need to take charge of their nutrition, movement, and mindset.
