Starting to notice the early signs of perimenopause? Tired? Poor sleep? Brain fog? Or feeling hungry all the time? It’s your body needing a little more support.
Here are five nutrition tweaks that can really help:
1. Always hungry or craving sugar?
Make sure you’re eating enough protein at each meal. It helps stabilise blood sugar, reduce cravings, and keeps you satisfied for longer.
2. Struggling to sleep?
Magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and wholegrains can make a real difference. Try having them regularly, especially at your evening meal.
3. Feeling bloated or sluggish?
Your gut is sensitive to these hormone changes too. Support it with plenty of fibre and a variety of plant foods — aim for 30 different types a week if you can.
4. Low energy and brain fog?
Keep your blood sugar steady — don’t skip meals, include protein, fibre, and healthy fats each time you eat.
5. Moody or anxious?
Include omega-3-rich foods like chia seeds, flaxseed, and walnuts daily to support both hormone balance and brain health.
Perimenopause can feel unsettling, you knew your cycle, you knew yourself. Now it’s all up in the air. But the right nutrition can help you feel grounded again.
The right food can do more for your hormones than you might think — sometimes the answers are on your plate, not in the medicine cabinet.
Small, consistent changes really do add up.
