Nutrition for Menopause & BRCA Gene

Meet Amber, our newest dietitian on our team, who shares her story about using nutrition for menopause after discovering that she has the BRCA gene and going into surgery. As a personal trainer and fitness instructor too, she discusses how to stay fit and healthy through the entire process of surgery, menopause and more.

We discuss:

BRCA gene testing
Her discovery timeline and ensuing decisions about her health
How she recovered from surgery
Her forced journey into menopause and how she used nutrition to manage it
How she dealt with hot flashes and lack of sleep
Her viewpoint on how this new stage of life makes her feel

Want to work with Amber? We enjoy working with athletes (and non-athletes alike) in different stages of life to help them through any nutrition challenges.
