Clean Beauty SchoolShow Notes
“[As I got older], there was this shift away from ‘how I look’ into ‘what do I want my life to be like?’ I want the feeling of strength, mobility, and stretchiness—and the ability to keep up my lifestyle,” says actress and activist Judy Greer. “It’s this shift away from vanity towards strength and movement.” The actress is known for her work in scores of fan-favorite rom-coms, comedies, and dramas—but after listening to this episode of Clean Beauty School, she might land the role of your new well-being BFF too. Here, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Greer about her wellness journey, her experience with perimenopause, and why women feel underserved by the conventional health care system. Plus, symptoms of perimenopause you may not have even realized were signs.
