This personal and professional journey has led her to support thousands of women through their menopause transition and experience, offering consultations, programs, courses, and maintaining a very active presence on social media, speaking engagements, and in the press. She is also the author of two reference books in Spanish: “Enjoy Your Menopause” and “Nourish Your Menopause.” During the interview they talk about one of the most repeated phrases in consultation: "Why, if I do the same things as always, have I developed this belly that I didn't have before?" Marta explains which metabolic and hormonal changes cause this abdominal fat gain and which strategies actually work to stop it . They delve into the protective role of muscle mass : how it helps maintain metabolism, regulate glucose, protect bones, and reduce the fat accumulation typical of this stage . They also cover: Key nutrients that require special attention during menopause and the most common nutritional myths , debunked with evidence and clinical experience. Primary ovarian insufficiency : how it differs from natural menopause, what it implies at a hormonal level, and what young women going through this situation should take special care of. Cooking food . How the type of cooking can increase or decrease the bioavailability of nutrients, affect essential micronutrients and, on the other hand, generate toxic combustion products or even hormone disruptors that should be avoided, especially at this stage. Marta also shares the three supplements she most recommends for their real effectiveness and the most common mistakes she observes when women supplement on their own. They close the episode with a powerful message for anyone going through this stage and feeling like their body has changed without warning: how to reconnect with your body, sleep better, and feel like yourself again .
