If you’re in midlife, wondering how is it that I blinked and all of a sudden… there are weird symptoms and body changes and life changes… and you wish someone would have written a book to tell you everything you need to know about midlife…. And not just the medical stuff, but the gritty stuff. The real stuff. You’re in luck. Because my guest today did just that.
On today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’ll answer the question… what are the most important topics we need to address in midlife?
To help us answer that, we’ve got Dr. Mikala Albertson, who is the author of the book, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife: A Woman’s Guide to Health in the Body You Actually Have. We’re going to cover how you can have a productive conversation with your doctor, the impact of stress in midlife, and more importantly, Dr. Mikala talks about body image, and the delicate balance of how you can love the body you actually have, and still want to improve your weight and health. The story that she shares will surprise you. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss.
