Perimenopause
I know what you're thinking... How is Perimenopause related to what you're going through right now??
Well, to some of you, this is EXTREMELY relevant.
To others, it will be relevant much sooner than you may think.
So today, Dr. Jennifer Salib Huber, RD ND is going to help us understand what perimenopause is and how will we know we're in it (especially if we're newly postpartum!!).
We also get into some of the myths about peri/menopause and what women can do to help minimize their side-effects when the time comes.
Save this episode for future reference!!

Preparing Pets for Baby with Janis Wall
If you have a pet and you'll someday be coming home with a baby (or two or more), this is a MUST LISTEN!
Janis Wall is a local Veterinary Technician and expecting her first baby very soon, so I was pumped to get the chance to speak with her about preparing cats and dogs for Baby's arrival. She goes into a lot of great detail for both animals so there are lots of options for everyone.
Here are the articles she referenced for more information:

Review
As a first time mom, this has been a great podcast to listen to! Lots of important topics are covered and the information is easily digestible. Would highly recommend!
A must listen for new parents!
Ashley provides evidence-informed information in a non-judgmental, supportive way. This podcast is my go to for baby info! Keep up the good work!
Educational, supportive and interesting podcast!
I have loved listening to this podcast throughout my first pregnancy and revisited some of my favourite episodes during my second! A variety of topics covered with experts in their fields. Love that it’s Canadian (so much online is geared to American content). Always felt more knowledgeable after an episode and Ashley is always looking for the most up to date information/topics for her listeners. A must listen for any parent!
