Episode 23

About

Join me as I chat to Rebekah Brown founder of M Powder (a menopausal nutritional booster).  We get into some amazing topics including:  the one size fits all approach that many vitamin and supplement companies seem to fall into with their marketing; we discuss the power of whole plant food (verses the isolated part) as a nutritional boost to menopause support.  We speak about having a beginners mindset in business and in life, the power of vulnerability and passion lead businesses.   Rebekah is knowledgable and articulate, I hope you’ll find inspiration, the same way I did.

  • 107 The Long Game with Dr Alison Grimston

    Recently I witnessed a menopause practitioner being derogatory about the DUTCH test online.
