We all have been told the “horrors” of menopause, but few people are really talking about the biggest time of transition in a woman’s life: perimenopause. This 4-10 year period before your menstrual cycle totally stops can be a time of fluctuating hormones, uncomfortable symptoms (including hot flashes, stubborn weight, exhaustion, sleep struggles, and more), and feelings that your life as you know it is over. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
Have you been stuck on the weight-loss merry-go-round, circling and circling from one diet to the next? Have you jumped on the exercise train that seems to work for everyone else, tortured yourself for weeks, and just feel more tired and angry? Is each and every day a struggle to keep yourself from falling asleep? Can you get through your day without tea, coffee, chocolate, or some other mid-afternoon pick-me-up? I have been there…
Today I’m tackling even more menopause myths that are so disempowering and disruptive to women, holding you back from living your best life in menopause and beyond. You deserve to face your day with energy, grace, and confidence, and the first step is exposing and letting go of the lies that you may be holding onto.
“What should I eat now that I have this diagnosis?” This is a question I hear all the time, from people who are either dealing with hormone imbalances, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s. While there is no concrete answer to this question (and believe me, I wish there were!), I want to empower you to make the best choices you can make for your body and your health. Let me first say that food is a personal thing. What works for one person may not work for someone else. The best advice I can give is that you listen to your body. This involves finding what makes you feel good and getting rid of the things that don’t!
You know what stubborn weight is like…it packs on in your midsection, and no matter how much you exercise, it just doesn’t go away. But that weight is actually a sign of something else going on under the surface: inflammation. The foods you eat are either inflaming your body or fueling it, there is no in between. Even if you’ve tried cutting foods out before without success, you’re going to want to check out today’s episode.
