"Menopause is a transition in life that the Japanese call the second Spring. It's an opportunity. It's another chapter. It's another era beyond our reproductive era." Clinical nutritionist and integrative health practitioner Tapp Francke Ingolia, shares her journey through peri-menopause and into menopause, and the shock her own body brought to her through this shift. Tapp says, that the changes within her body and mind - alarming at times - were also an amazing route to rediscover and understand her body and self acceptance, that she had never experienced like this before.Tapp opened her holistic wellness center STANDWellness in 2013. Driven by the desire to educate her clients on how to eat properly for their respective bodies and conditions, Tapp has been guiding clients for 10 years on how to make informed health choices. With a focus on deep nutrition, Tapp aims to have her clients nourished on a cellular level in order to support their bodies at every stage of life. Published in multiple Wellness magazines, including The Purist Magazine, where she is a Wellness editor and frequent contributor, Tapp uses her extensive knowledge about the healing power of food to teach and to inspire people. This is SEASON 2 of SHIFT HAPPENS,  a bi-weekly podcast (released every second Wednesday).
