🥗Eating with your body—not against it

At the Women’s Wellness Retreat, we talked about how nutrition needs to shift during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

This is not the phase for extreme diets or cutting everything out.

It’s the phase to get intentional.

Here’s what matters most:

🥗 Build a balanced plate
→ Fiber-rich carbs + quality protein + healthy fats

🌱 Focus on whole foods
→ Think vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds

🚫 Cut back on
→ Ultra-processed foods
→ Added sugars
→ “Quick fix” dieting

❤️Support your body through symptoms
→ Energy dips
→ Weight changes
→ Hormonal shifts

💚On GLP-1 meds?
→ Prioritize protein + nutrient density
→ Don’t skip meals
→ Protect muscle + metabolism

This isn’t about restriction.

This is about nourishment, balance, and working with your body—not fighting it.

🫜🥕Mighty Garden Salad

Straight from our food forest to the plate—this vibrant, nutrient-packed salad is a celebration of homegrown goodness (Okinawa spinach and Kumquat from our pool deck) and bold flavors.

💚 What makes it mighty?
• Okinawa spinach – a powerhouse leafy green loaded with iron, calcium, potassium, and vitamin A
• Red carrots – for that natural sweetness, crunch, and beta-carotene boost
• Watermelon radish – crisp, peppery, and rich in antioxidants
• Fresh kumquat or lemon juice – bright vitamin C to elevate both flavor and nutrient absorption

🔥 Optional flavor boost: sautéed jalapeño in olive oil for a little heat and depth

Simple Recipe

Chop fresh Okinawa spinach
Add grated red carrots
Toss in thinly sliced watermelon radish
Drizzle juice from 1 lemon or a handful of kumquats
Top with sautéed jalapeño (optional)
Gently mix and enjoy fresh

🌱 Every bite is a reminder: when you grow your food, you grow your health.

Sharing an easy cabin meals made during our vacation - Tacos
Made with locally sourced corn tortilla, salsa and guacamole salad and no fat premade refried beans.
It is always nice to check out local grocery stores to see what they carry. Do you do that too?
Our cabin was beautiful but away from restaurants save some time to fix a simple meal then drive to eat out before we went on hike.

Great Time with Goats Round Mountain Creamery

My daughter wanted to go here to taste the goat cheese made here and we also go a tour of the goat farm and time to play with the goats who love company. My husband was a goat magnet. It was a very relaxing experience and we were quite impressed by the varieties of goat cheese they had. Crackers were good too. Check it out if you are in Asheville area.

🌱 Can your diet slow down aging? Science says YES.

New research published in Clinical Nutrition shows that plant-based (with or without fish) and low-meat diets are linked to slower biological aging compared to regular meat-heavy diets.
➡️ 1 Zeng C, Cai Y, Wu M ...
Biological aging across regular meat, low meat, pescatarian and vegetarian dietary patterns: A population-based cohort study
Clinical Nutrition, 2026; 0
✨ Translation:
What you put on your plate today can influence how your body ages tomorrow.
💚 Diets rich in:
• Fruits & vegetables
• Whole grains
• Legumes
• Nuts & seeds
• (Optional) moderate fish
…may help reduce inflammation, support cellular health, and lower the risk of age-related diseases.
🥗This isn’t about perfection or elimination—it’s about shifting the balance.
🥦Even small steps like:
• Swapping one meat-based meal for a plant-based option
• Adding more fiber-rich foods
• Using herbs & spices for flavor instead of processed meats
…can move the needle toward healthier aging.
👩‍⚕️ As a dietitian, I always say:
Aging is inevitable. How you age is influenced by your daily choices.
