Episode 15: Ask Nidhi-Foot and Leg pain during mid-life. Yes, It's a thing!

ChangeHER Navigating Change Together

Welcome to Your Empowered Evolution, a podcast dedicated to women in mid-life. I am your host, Stephanie Mitchell and my hope is to help change the narrative around the transitions we experience in our 40's and 50's. Perimenopause and menopause don't have to be a total pain. We may encounter challenges from time to time, but we can create our best lives by understanding the changes we are experiencing and putting a variety of practices into place. Lets choose to stay strong, be mindful and live our most feisty life. You deserve it. Let's go ladies!

I am so excited to share this episode with you. Nidhi Reva, PA, MPH joins me today to talk about our legs and feet and why they ache so much as we age. We talk compression socks, plantar fasciitis, orthotics and more. You can reach her at [email protected] and her website is wwe.nestedbaby.com In this episode, Nidhi references a program I offer called Strong, Mindful, Feisty Females Over 40. This is a 6 week course that teaches women ways in which we can mitigate some of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause through exercise and mindfulness practices. SMF Over 40 will be offered in April. Be sure to stay tuned for details.
