For nearly 30 years, Angel Altman has stood at the bedside as a nurse. But some of her deepest education came from a different kind of classroom: autoimmune disease, hormone shifts, menopause, chronic stress, and a body that kept sending signals she had to learn to read. In this episode of Thrive After 45™, Denise Drinkwalter sits down with Angel, LPN nurse, herbalist, health educator, and founder of Tea of Life Apothecary, to talk about what's really happening underneath the symptoms so many women are told to just live with.

Angel breaks down why liver health is one of the biggest drivers of how intensely a woman experiences perimenopause and menopause, how stress and dysregulation can be passed down cellularly for generations before we're even born, and why the nervous system, not willpower, is where lasting change actually begins. She also shares the simple self-love scale she uses with every client, and why learning to apologize to your own body may be the fastest way to calm it.

Thank you for spending time with me today on the Thrive After 45™ podcast! If this episode spoke to you, be sure to hit that follow button so you never miss one.

I will be hosting a live, in-person experience called IGNITE: The Inner Uprising™ .

It is a two-day immersive gathering for women in midlife — women who feel the quiet pull toward something more truthful, more embodied, more fully their own.

IGNITE is an extension of these conversations.

It’s where reflection becomes embodiment.

Where insight becomes integration.

Where women who have held so much for others gather to stand fully in their own sovereignty.

If something in today’s conversation stirred you — if your body leaned in — that is NOT accidental.

The ticket sales will be coming soon, so get your name on the waitlist, and never miss an update and special price breaks that will exist for early registrants.
