New Episode: How to Support Your Body Through Menopause with Dr. Wendy Ellis, ND

Menopause and perimenopause affect half the population, yet so many women still feel unprepared for the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that come with this stage of life.

In this episode, Dr. Ginger Hultin sits down with Dr. Wendy Ellis, a naturopathic physician and educator specializing in women’s health, to unpack what is really happening in the body during midlife. Together, they explore the hormonal shifts behind menopause and perimenopause symptoms, how thyroid dysfunction can sometimes overlap with or mimic those changes, and how nutrition can offer meaningful support during this transition. Dr. Ellis also shares practical insight on metabolism, strength training, fitness, and bone health, the all essential but often overlooked pieces of menopause care.

So if you want to better support yourself or the women you know during midlife, this episode is a thoughtful place to start.

Upcoming Episode: What Women Should Be Testing in Midlife with Dr. Wendy Ellis, ND

Midlife health can feel confusing, especially when symptoms are dismissed, testing is overwhelming, or you are told everything looks “normal.”

In this episode, Dr. Ginger Hultin once again sits down with Dr. Wendy Ellis, a naturopathic physician and educator specializing in women’s health, to explore how women can better understand, test, and advocate for their health through the menopause transition and beyond. Together, they unpack how to determine which lab markers matter for you in midlife, why more testing is not always better, and how to think about testing thyroid health, cholesterol, blood sugar, vitamin D, ferritin, and more. Dr. Ellis also shares practical insight on bone density, cardiovascular risk, and how women can more confidently advocate for the care they deserve.
