The Menopause Midwife

Ever feel like you're doing everything right—eating clean, taking supplements, staying active—but still feel bloated, foggy, or just off? What if the real issue isn’t your hormones... but your digestion?

In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on two of my go-to tools—Bitter X and Holozyme—and break down how your liver, gallbladder, and enzymes play a huge role in your hormone health, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

We’ll dive into the telltale signs that your detox pathways are backed up (hello, histamine reactions, estrogen dominance, and margarita regret) and why supporting your digestion might be the secret to getting your hormones back in sync.

Whether you're deep in the hormone rollercoaster or just want to feel lighter, clearer, and more energized—this one’s for you.

Dr. Limas provides valuable insights into postpartum anxiety and offers practical strategies for loved ones to provide meaningful support. We discuss the challenges of decision fatigue and emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment that destigmatizes the need for help.

I reveal the emotional toll of navigating motherhood while dealing with anxiety and how finding the right support ultimately allowed me to reclaim my well-being.

Ultimately, this episode aims to empower you to become a better ally. We strive to transform the understanding of postpartum mental health and ensure that no parent feels alone.
