Registered dietician, Leslie Urbas was adamant that she would have a natural birth with little or no medication. After all, she was ultra fit and no one in her family had ever had a c-section birth. However, life doesn't always go the way we expect and Leslie found herself needing the cesarean. Leslie joins me today to tell us about her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter, Lily.

Today I am joined by Annie McDonnell, licensed acupuncturist and sound practitioner from New York. Annie is chatting to me about using acupuncture to support the transition through menopause as well as other helpful Chinese medicine practices to keep our energy strong and flowing. These practices can help to get our mind, body and spirit back into balance. Menopause can be difficult but it can also be a rich and beautiful time of our life.
