Only a quarter of women report having any kind of menopause support in the workplaceI know how that feels.
In this exclusive interview, we chatted with Walter about menopause and this partnership.
But I wish I had taken care of the skin on my body.
It never occurred to me.
I wish I had done that sooner.
EatingWell:Do you have any on-set meals or snacks that you swear by to keep you fueled?
So I’m working almost eight hours before we break for a meal.
I start my day with oatmeal or sometimes its Greek yogurt and berries.
Egg whites are also amazing for me.
That is the perfect snack because it actually will fuel me because of the protein.
That really helps fill me until lunchtime.
EatingWell:Whats a common misconception about menopause that you wish more people knew about?
Walter:The fact that it’s different for everybody.
When you reach the age when menopause happens, you hear, Oh, you’re in menopause.
And all I have to say is, look at me and Sheryl Lee Ralph.
I think it’s the idea of women becoming useless after a certain age.
EatingWell:Why partner with Centrum?
Walter:Centrum was a brand that I trusted anyway because it was my grandmothers favorite.
Every time I went to Costco, I had to pick Nana up her package of Centrum Silver.
It lasts different lengths of time for every woman.
Something that people don’t realize is that my symptoms are not going to be your symptoms.
EatingWell:Whats something you want to try the next time youre in Philly?
Walter:All of it.
Somebody also told me about a panzarotti.
Its like a calzone, but it’s fried.
Sounds great to me; don’t threaten me with a good time!
