💃🏼 Menopause and perimenopause can be a tricky time for many women. As a clinician with many menopausal and perimenopausal patients, I am here to tell you that you DO NOT have to live with symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings!

💪 We have very specific nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to help you feel like yourself again! Besides specific plans for diet, exercise, and stress management, many of my patients have benefited from some extra support.

🔝3️⃣ I have seen AMAZING improvements in my patients’ menopausal symptoms with the use of maca root, wild yam, and NOW FOODS Menopause Support. Choosing one of these 3 can make a big difference when partnered with adjustments in diet, exercise, and stress management.

🥑💊 MACROS vs MICROS — What’s the Difference & Why You Should Care 👀
Ever heard someone say “just track your macros”?
But what about the micros?? 🤔
Let’s break down these nutrition MVPs so you can fuel smarter (not harder)👇

🍞 Macronutrients = Protein, Carbs, Fat
These are the big guys your body needs in large amounts. They give you:
⚡ ENERGY for movement, thinking, and breathing
💪 BUILDING BLOCKS for muscle, tissue, and cell repair
🔥 FUEL to keep your metabolism running

🥦 Micronutrients = Vitamins & Minerals
Your body only needs these in small amounts—but they’re crucial for:
🧠 Brain health & memory
🩺 Hormone balance
🛡️ Immune strength
🦴 Bone health
💅 Hair, skin, nails
And literally THOUSANDS of cellular functions happening behind the scenes!

So what’s the key takeaway?
💡 You can hit your macros and still feel “off” if you’re missing the micronutrients.
That’s why quality matters just as much as quantity when it comes to food.

🥗 Eating a variety of colorful whole foods helps cover both bases—but if you’re:
❌ Constantly tired
❌ Craving sugar or carbs
❌ Struggling with digestion or brain fog
👉 Your micronutrient status might need a deeper look.

✨ At Begin Again Nutrition, we go beyond calorie counting to assess what your body really needs. Our approach is personalized, functional, and totally doable.

🌿 Eat with the Seasons 🌎✨

Want better nutrition, and a smaller carbon footprint? Seasonal eating checks all the boxes.

When you choose produce that’s in season, you’re not only getting food that’s more flavorful and nutrient-dense—you’re also saving money and supporting your local farmers. 💸👩‍🌾

Here’s why seasonal eating makes sense:
🍅 Better Taste & Nutrition – Picked at peak ripeness = more vitamins & flavor
🛒 Budget-Friendly – In-season = more supply = lower prices
🚜 Supports Local Agriculture – Fewer miles = fresher food & fewer emissions
🥬 More Dietary Variety – Rotate nutrients with the seasons
🌱 Fewer Chemicals – Foods grown in their natural season need fewer preservatives & pesticides

💡 Pro tip: Visit your local farmers market, use seasonal produce guides, join a CSA, or become a member of a food co-op to get started!

🍊 🌊 is a brand new co-op opening in with doors opening soon! Come out to the Imperial Beach farmer’s market to learn more!

🧑‍🌾 The farmer’s market is held at Veteran’s Park every third Saturday of the month from 8 am - 2 pm. See you this weekend 👋

☀️ Did you know nearly 40% of adults in North America have low vitamin D levels?

This essential nutrient does way more than just support bones.

👇 Here’s what vitamin D is doing behind the scenes:
✨ Strengthens bones by helping absorb calcium & phosphorus
🛡️ Supports immune function & helps regulate inflammation
💪 Boosts muscle performance & energy production
🧬 Regulates over 1,000 genes in the body
🍬 May help with blood sugar balance & insulin sensitivity
🕶️ While sunshine is the main source, food & supplements can help fill in the gaps—especially if you’re indoors a lot.

🧠 What is Leaky Gut?
Leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, happens when the lining of your gut becomes too porous, meaning that things that should stay in your gut (like bacteria, toxins, and undigested food) can “leak” into your bloodstream, triggering inflammation and possibly contributing to a range of chronic health issues.

🔥 Why it matters:
Leaky gut may drive chronic inflammation, which is behind 60% of global deaths.
It’s linked to:
• Autoimmune disease
• IBS
• Diabetes
• Chronic fatigue
• Depression
• Even some cancers

🛑 Common Triggers:
• Poor diet
• Chronic stress
• Gut dysbiosis (imbalance in your gut bacteria)
• Inflammation
• Overexpression of zonulin (protein that opens gaps between cells in your gut lining)

🧬  Impact on the Body:
• Autoimmune flare-ups
• Brain fog
• Anxiety & depression
• Mood swings
• Digestive issues

🥦 Healing Tips:
• Prioritize quality sleep
• Manage stress daily
• Eat a whole-food, anti-inflammatory diet
• Work with a functional provider for testing and tailored care

💡 You can heal from the inside out—start with your gut.
