From Overwhelm to Empowered: Navigating Perimenopause with Data, Discipline & Mindset” with Dr. Shawna Darou

In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Shawna Darou, Naturopathic Doctor and Functional Medicine Practitioner based in Toronto. Shawna helps women in perimenopause and menopause shift from confusion and overwhelm into clear, empowered action by reconnecting with their bodies and learning how to interpret their health “data.”

We talk about how numbers—whether in health or finances—are a powerful tool for clarity, and how discipline and mindset are the foundation for long-term transformation. Shawna shares what running the Boston Marathon taught her about commitment (yes, she did that!), how glucose tracking can be a game-changer, and what she believes is the most important first step for women stepping into more leadership in their physical lives.


💡 Key Takeaways:

  • How mindset and discipline play a crucial role in navigating midlife changes
  • Why tracking your health numbers gives you power, not pressure
  • What marathon training can teach us about long-term goals
  • The connection between metabolic health, hormones, and stress 
  • How to begin reclaiming your physical  authority, one step at a time, without complicating it
