What does science really tell us about nutrition during perimenopause and postmenopause? Should women consider hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? And can a supplement really deliver everything it promises?
In this episode of The Wellness Woman, I am joined by the internationally renowned Dr. David L. Katz, a physician, nutrition researcher, author and leading voice in preventive and lifestyle medicine.

Dr. Katz is the founding director of Yale University's Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, past president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, founder of the True Health Initiative and founder of Diet ID. He has published approximately 250 peer-reviewed scientific papers and authored or co-authored 19 books, including How to Eat, written with Mark Bittman.
His career has been dedicated to translating scientific evidence into practical lifestyle strategies that support human health, longevity and disease prevention.
In today's conversation, we explore:
Nutrition from perimenopause through postmenopause and how women's needs change.
The role of food in metabolic health, hormonal well-being and healthy aging.
Hormone replacement therapy: understanding the evidence and weighing benefits against risks.
Why nutrition and lifestyle remain central to women's long-term health.
And a special question: Is IM8 really all it claims to be?
Having been involved with IM8's scientific advisory board in its early stages, Dr. Katz brings a particularly interesting perspective to the conversation about the supplement, its scientific foundations and the claims surrounding it.
This episode is about looking beyond marketing, questioning assumptions and bringing science back into conversations about women's health.
Because navigating menopause shouldn't be about fear or confusion. It should be about knowledge, informed choices and understanding what truly supports our bodies as we age.
