Another key aspect to getting fit is maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet, so you'll also find more than two dozen of Denise's favorite super-easy and wholesome recipes and other nutrition tips. Plus, she shares her favorite classic style suggestions, what to eat and what not to eat to ease menopause symptoms, and how to get more quality sleep. As Denise likes to say, "You're worth it!"
