Your Spark Action Steps This Week

Choose one bone-friendly food swap to try this week:

1️⃣ Snack swap: Instead of pretzels or chips, reach for a handful of almonds or pumpkin seeds → adds magnesium and protein.

2️⃣ Drink swap: Replace soda with a fortified almond, soy, or oat milk → provides calcium + vitamin D.

3️⃣ Dinner swap: Add leafy greens like kale, bok choy, or collard greens to your plate → delivers calcium and vitamin K2.

💡 Don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Pick one swap, do it daily, and let it become second nature. Small, steady choices are what protect your bones—and your freedom—for the long haul.

About the Podcast

MenoSpark Podcast
Holistic Health Support Through PeriMenopause and Beyond
Welcome to MenoSpark—the podcast for Gen X women who are done putting up with the confusion, silence, and BS around menopause. If you’re somewhere between “what is happening to my body?” and “why am I suddenly crying over insurance commercials?”—you’re in the right place.

MenoSpark is your weekly dose of real talk, holistic health support, and empowering insights to help you thrive through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. With expert guidance from yours truly (a board-certified sexologist and menopause care provider), plus candid stories, practical tips, and occasional guests, we’ll tackle everything from hot flashes to hormone balance, libido to bone health, anxiety to energy work.

This isn’t about surviving menopause—it’s about reigniting your spark.

We’ll explore a full-spectrum approach to wellness, blending physical, emotional, mental, and energetic tools to support you as your body evolves. Nothing's off the table, from medical care to mindset shifts, nutrition to nervous system support.

Whether you’re just entering perimenopause or riding out postmenopausal peace (with a heating pad and a glass of red), this space is here to remind you: you are not broken—you’re becoming.

So, if you're ready to move beyond the overwhelm and embrace menopause as a time of powerful transformation, come join the MenoSpark community. Together, we’ll reclaim this wild, wonderful stage of life with knowledge, confidence, and unapologetic energy.
