During perimenopause, our body becomes more sensitive to blood sugar swings.
Refined carbs (like pastries, white bread, crackers, sugary snacks) break down quickly → spike blood sugar → then crash → leaving you tired, moody, and craving more food shortly after.

They digest slowly, provide steady energy, nourish the gut, and support hormone balance — instead of fighting it.
Some great examples: quinoa, oats, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, squash, beets, carrots, and whole fruits.
