If your body suddenly feels harder to manage, you’re not just imagining it.

You’re probably in perimenopause!

Midlife hormonal changes impact metabolism, gut health, cholesterol and blood sugar, just to name a few.

Have you noticed any of these things lately?
• You feel hungrier
• Your energy crashes harder (and you can’t drink coffee in afternoon)
• Your sleep feels worse
• Your stomach reacts to foods it used to love
• Weight starts creeping up
• Your doctor starts mentioning cholesterol or blood sugar

No one prepares us for how connected these changes are.

If you’ve been feeling like a different person lately, you are absolutely not alone 💛

Follow for realistic midlife nutrition that actually makes sense!

So many women in perimenopause and menopause tell me the same thing: “I’m unsure who to trust for sound nutrition info online.”

And honestly? I get it.

Everywhere you look, there’s misinformation, especially when it comes to heart health in menopause:
❎Cut carbs
❎Only eat foods labeled nonfat or low fat
❎Seed oils are really bad for you
❎Fasting fixes everything
❎Avoid fruit
❎Take ALL the supplements

Meanwhile your cholesterol, A1C, energy, and menopausal symptoms keep shifting.

Here’s the truth ↓
Heart health changes in menopause. Our hormones shift the way we process cholesterol, blood sugar, and how we deal with stress and inflammation.

You’ve probably also noticed that the diet advice that worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t work now.

You’re not doing anything wrong. You probably just need some guidance tailored to your hormones and your life.

✨ If you want science-backed support for lowering cholesterol + A1C naturally, comment “HEART” and I’ll share how I can help!

February is American Heart Health Month ❤️

Heart disease is still the number one cause of death for women, and the scary part is that many women don’t realize this until midlife.

The good news? Small, consistent habits make a huge difference, and one of the easiest places to start is by looking at what’s on your plate.

This graphic breaks down how to build a heart-healthy meal without cutting out foods you love, or obsessing over numbers or macros.

Think:
🥦 Fiber-rich carbs to support cholesterol and blood sugar
🍗 Protein to support muscle, metabolism, and hormone health
🥑 Healthy fats that help reduce inflammation and support your heart

For women in perimenopause and menopause, heart health is about more than just cholesterol; it’s also about blood sugar, blood pressure, movement, sleep, reducing stress and inflammation, and long-term prevention.

All month long, I’ll be sharing simple, realistic ways to support your heart health in menopause.

Because heart-healthy eating should feel doable. ❤️

Most women don’t realize that their risk of heart disease spikes during menopause, until it’s already happening.

💔 As estrogen declines, your cardiovascular system loses one of its biggest protectors. That can mean rising cholesterol, blood pressure, increased belly fat, and insulin resistance.

All of these can lead to a greater risk for heart disease.

But here’s the good news:
👉 The lifestyle changes you make NOW, can dramatically impact your long-term health and energy.

Here’s 6 things that really move the needle toward protection from heart disease:
1.Move your body daily (I.e. walking, planned exercise, gardening, housework, etc.)
2.Avoid or quit smoking
3:Consume little to no alcohol (sorry, this one is tough for me too!)
4.Eat a heart-healthy diet full of fiber, healthy fats, and lean proteins, including lots of plants 🥬🥦
5.Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep
6.Manage stress levels

Happy 4th of July! Enjoying being in the U.S. the first time in 3 years on the 4th. 🇺🇸🎆

By now, most of us know that perimenopause its so much more than hot flashes and skipped periods.

✨ Mood swings that come out of nowhere
✨ Brain fog that makes you question yourself
✨ Waking up at 3am, night after night
✨ Anxiety that feels unfamiliar and overwhelming
✨ Weight changes that don’t respond to what used to “work”

This phase of life can feel like a mystery—and sometimes, like you’re losing a part of yourself.

But you’re not broken. You’re in a completely normal (and totally under-discussed) transition.
