Changing Seasons Podcast
Changing Seasons is a podcast that gently explores the transitions we move through in life from fertility to menopause, surrogacy to grief, and the many shifts in between. Hosted by Jody Vassallo, Ayurvedic guide, intuitive cook, and founder of ‘Gather’. Each episode is an invitation to slow down, listen in, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body and the cycles of nature.
Through the lens of traditional medicine and lived experience, we dive into the big topics: perimenopause, menopause, fertility, gut health, grief and loss, surrogacy, Ayurveda, and food as medicine.
This is a space for real conversations, tender truths, and practical ways to nourish yourself no matter what season you're in.

30 - Understanding the Root Cause of Menopausal Symptoms with Elyse Comerford.
Today Jody speaks with Integrative Nutritionist and GAPS Practitioner Elyse Comerford about how she works with women to help the understand the root causes of their menopausal symptoms
Elyse describes how exposure to harmful chemicals, liver congestion, thyroid issues and adrenal function all contribute to the problems women experience during perimenopause and menopause.
We discuss how the decision to take HRT is an individual choice and that no women should feel pressured or ashamed about the option they feel is right for them. Elyse highlights the problem that occurs with any long term hormone use is that it impacts on the body's own ability to produce that hormone.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode. An excellent episode for anyone who looking to be fully informed about the questions they can ask, the tests they may want to order to assess their thyroid function, iodine levels and menopause symptoms.
