  • UPDATED WEEKLY

The Wellness Woman is the next chapter of The Green Life podcast. This is Season 2, where the conversation expands—bringing together women’s health, hormone wellbeing, and holistic lifestyle for everyone, all in one grounded, real-life space. I’m Chantal, holistic nutritionist and naturopath, and in this podcast I explore what wellness looks like beyond trends and overwhelm. We talk about women’s health, perimenopause, nourishment, nervous system support, sustainable living, veganism and everyday choices that support a healthier body, mind, and planet. This is wellness without the fuss. Real life, real conversations, and practical guidance to help you navigate confusion and reconnect with what actually works for you. Whether you’re here for women’s health, mindful living, or a more balanced way of life, you’re welcome.
