#103 Dr Linda Dear, Menodoctor - A NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner
Show Notes: Dr Linda Dear has the perfect training behind her to work with women navigating the waters of perimenopause/menopause. Indeed, her background brings a wealth of knowledge of both holistic wellness and academic/medical training to the table. Not only is Dr Linda a NAMS (North American Menopause Society) Certified Menopause Practitioner, she's also a medical doctor with a fitness background. In her younger years she was a competitive British gymnast who won bronze at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and from there she went on to become a personal fitness trainer and Ashtanga yoga teacher. In addition, she completed a psychology degree and post-graduate training in the ACT model of psychotherapy. And as if that's not enough, Dr Linda graduated from London Medical School and added a post-graduate diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology. So to say she's well-qualified to help women take a multi-pronged approach to manage menopause is something of an understatement. Would you rather see our smiling faces?

There is so much conflicting advice and data about caffeine and alcohol especially during perimenopause and menopause. So we took a look into the subjects.

So this episode lays out a few facts, a few theories, and a few experiences. Thank you for listening to this episode. We're honoured you joined us and hope you enjoyed it.
