Show Notes
Today's guest bridges the gap between natural and mainstream medicine.
Jodie Williams brings her distinctive approach, drawing from her background as a registered nurse, naturopath, hypnotherapist, and training in Hakomi psychotherapy.
I had an amazing conversation with Jodie, and she's such a skilled therapist that she even turned the tables on me, helping me dive deeper into my own experiences!
Jodie is a treasure trove of resources and wisdom for women navigating this life phase. She's even crafted a helpful ebook on perimenopausal symptoms and an ingenious symptom tracker to guide women through their journey.
Her approach is down-to-earth and educational, and she encourages open conversations about perimenopause.
Jodie delves into the power of combining hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with complementary therapies to manage symptoms effectively. It's all about finding that balance and practicality in our approach.
