#234 Non-hormonal Menopause Support
With Dr. Esnielle Brooks
Those nagging night sweats, brain fog, hot flashes, lack of sleep.. there are non-hormonal ways to manage them!
Menopause expert, Dr. Esnielle Brooks is back today from her Red Deer, Alberta Menopause Clinic to share information about non-hormonal options to help you through 'the change'. Whether you're someone who isn't a candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or you've chosen not to try that route, there are some very encouraging suggestions for you to try.
Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this interview in Episode #233 to learn more about HRT (& bust some myths that may have kept you from considering whether it's safe for you or too early to start).
Born, raised, and educated in South Africa, Esnielle brings a global lens to her work in women’s health. She's a certified menopause practitioner, continuously deepening her knowledge in women’s and sexual health, honouring the complexity of this life stage with both science and sensitivity.
She's the founder of The Menopause Clinic and The WellPause Collective, two spaces rooted in empowerment, education, and community. Esnielle is a proud mother of three incredible children and shares life’s quieter moments with two soulful dogs who’ve walked many chapters with her. Her work is grounded in connection, curiosity, and care, creating space for women to feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate transformation.
