Functional Medicine Dietitian Jillian Greaves breaks down popular nutrition topics like intermittent fasting, blood sugar balance and protein intake, highlighting what women need from reproductive age to perimenopause and menopause. I ask her about some of the things I constantly see advertised and hear influencers sharing like greens and hydration powders and if we really need them. We also get into Jillian’s journey to her current healthy pregnancy after miscarriage, and the major life changes she made in between.

We discuss:
