Welcome to the Perimenopausal Mamas podcast! This is a podcast for hormonal mamas who want to reclaim their own natural state of health to thrive and raise healthy kids.
We are two Naturopathic Doctors and moms to toddlers. Dr. Lisa Weeks, ND, practices in Toronto and has a son named Stuart. Dr. Toni Reid, ND, birth doula and HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator practices in Calgary and has a daughter named Frankie.
We are perimenopausal mamas!
Our Mission (should you choose to accept it):
Educate you on your hormones and empower you to take control of your own (and your kids’) health.
Share our own tips, tricks and useful tools as perimenopausal moms and Naturopathic Doctors.
Provide cutting-edge info from experts in the health and parenting worlds.
We want to keep things simple, inspire you, and add some fun into your day, without any judgement or overwhelm.
So, what is perimenopause all about?
Perimenopause is the transition period you can experience for years (and years!) before your period stops and you reach menopause. You can start to have symptoms as early as your late 30’s or early 40’s.
You may be perimenopausal if you are:
Noticing that your periods are changing
Getting night sweats, especially leading up to your period
Having difficulty sleeping
Noticing that your libido, energy and enjoyment in life are lacking
Snapping at your partner and kids
Becoming more forgetful and suffer from brain fog
Seeing your weight creep up for no good reason
Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and alone
In this podcast, we will:
Help to uncover the truth about hormonal imbalances that cause troublesome perimenopausal symptoms.
Educate you on and how to make simple lifestyle and nutritional changes to restore balance (and help get you back to being the parent you want to be).
Share our weekly “mom mess-ups”, “super mom moments” and “mom must-haves” (since one of our key survival skills is to laugh at ourselves, even when times are tough).
Pass on our knowledge of nutrition and lifestyle counselling (as Naturopathic Doctors) to help raise healthy kids.
Discuss our experiences (and those of other moms who are experts in their own rights) so we can all work on figuring out the challenge of parenting together.
Not a mom yet...or not plan on becoming one?
No problem!
You can still listen and learn more about your hormones and health.
Even rockstar perimenopausal aunties might be interested in our conversations about relationships, tips about parenting, picky eaters, and more.

* How to customize a morning routine that fits your season of life
* The importance of sleep and waking up before your alarm
* Why you should avoid checking social media or the news first thing in the morning
* The science behind movement, cold exposure, and morning light
