Episode title:​  Midlife Women, Intuition, and Optimizing Health with Dr. Lisa Petty  Episode summary introduction:​ Cultural expectations and societal pressures, coupled with the fear of trusting that gut feeling (aka your intuition) can hold you back from stepping into your great health, wellness, and happiness. Research shows this. However, so many women, especially during midlife, find this to be challenging. But it is during the midlife years that listening to and acting upon your intuition can give you the greatest rewards. Join Dr. Lisa Petty in her discussion about why she went from nutrition coaching to helping midlife women heal on a deeper level. She talks about cultural and societal influences, programming, what the intuition is, how to start better listening to it, why is it critical to start teaching our sons and boys about the women's shifting, how listening to your body's intuition can optimize your health, and so much more!
