About this episode

Can menopause be a time of growth instead of decline? In this episode of Energize & Revitalize, Dr. Amy sits down with health and wellness coach Tanya Leake to discuss her remarkable journey from engineering to helping others achieve greater health, purpose, and fulfillment. Together, they explore how finding alignment with your values can improve overall well-being, why purpose is essential for long-term health, and how menopause can become an opportunity for personal transformation rather than something to fear. Tanya also shares emerging perspectives on cognitive health, challenging the common belief that mental sharpness must decline after menopause and discussing factors that may support cognitive function during this stage of life. Whether you're navigating menopause, seeking more purpose in your career or personal life, or looking to optimize your physical and mental well-being, this conversation offers practical insights and an encouraging perspective on thriving through life's transitions. Tanya Leake, NBC-HWC, is a mindset and lifestyle coach passionate about translating science for real life and reframing the conversation around wellbeing to empower both a healthy mindset and the lifestyle to match. Tanya is also a member of the faculty of Healthy Gamer Institute, where she teaches aspiring health and wellness coaches how to support nine dimensions of wellness, including mental, emotional, physical and digital.
