How to deal with slow weight loss in perimenopause!

Has this happened to you?

You can't eat the way you used to; indigestion, IBS, or other GI issues abound.
Your old exercise routines are hampered by injury/body aches.
You're exhausted all the time... and I mean, all the time!
Your body's metabolism has changed.

Your old diet tricks are failing. Are you failing?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Your body has changed during (peri)menopause, and you can accept that and deal with (and care for) the body you have now, or you can keep doing the same old thing and not get the results you want. What sounds better to you?

What does my typical day look like as an intuitive eating dietitian who helps women over 40 undiet their lives? Come with me to find out! 🫘🍚🥤🍓🍫 🍽️ 😋

I wake up hungry, and I want either a smoothie or some oatmeal. Today's mixed berry smoothie had my super secret ingredient of Ruby Red Kraut from Firefly Kitchens (You can't taste it, but you get all the lovely probiotic benefits from it!) Then, if it's a dry sunny day, I am off for a bike ride! Gotta get that Vitamin D from sunshine where I can!

I batch-cook grains and beans on the weekend so that I can always throw together a greens and grains bowl for lunch. Have you tried h**p hearts on your salads or soups yet? They add a tiny crunch and some BIG protein.

Then I work on client cases, helping people make peace with food and believe in their own ability to navigate nutrition! I combine a walk with my colleague to clear my head, but still get work done. Moving my body helps me think. If at all possible, try to incorporate some movement into your workday! 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Then dinner! Tonight was an amazing soup, paired with some of my favorite condiments from Firefly Kitchen, and then brownies and ice cream (with pumpkin seeds) for dessert!

This is the *easiest* way to instantly add nutrition to your regular meals and snacks!

Any time you add lettuce or a ripe red tomato slice to your sandwich, BOOM, you just added fiber, micronutrients, and macronutrients! Every time you have fruit with your midmorning cookie break, you've added nutrition. Every time you add broccoli to your dinner plate, you're adding key vitamins and needed fiber to your diet. Add avocado? Yes, please!

Most Americans are not getting enough fruits and vegetables. If we think about ADDING to our meals instead of subtracting, we can make easy, sustainable changes to our nutrition and health!

Want an indulgent breakfast but looking to boost protein? Have I got the perfect breakfast for you!

Easy-Peasy Protein Pancakes

You will need:
Preferred pancake mix
favorite vanilla or plain protein powder
favorite vanilla protein shake
1/4 C of plain Greek yogurt
Maple Syrup or preferred pancake syrup

Put one full scoop of your preferred protein powder into your pancake mix, substitute the milk or water called for by your package ingredients with an equal amount of a protein shake. You may need to add more or less shake than the recipe calls for, so just mix to the preferred batter consistency. Make pancakes as normal. For a unique, delicious, and creamy topping, mix 1 TB of maple syrup into 1/4 C of Greek Yogurt and serve with pancakes and turkey or "fakin'" bacon!

What's your favorite indulgent breakfast?

Kale is just... angry lettuce.

It needs a little acid and a bit of finesse to make it the tasty, nutrient-rich powerhouse it was meant to be. If you've never liked kale (so angry!), then please try my kale salad with tahini miso dressing and baked tofu croutons!

Packed with protein and phytonutrients, this salad will definitely change your mind about kale!

SALAD:
1 large bunch of kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
1 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4 moons
6 sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained, and chopped
1/4 cup h**p seeds (hearts)
Firm tofu, cut into cubes, and baked

DRESSING:
1/2 cup tahini, unsalted
1 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup warm water - more if needed for a thinner consistency
1 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp dark miso
2 TBSP olive oil

In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.

Add chopped kale to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the greens. Massage the dressing into the greens with your hands. This will "wilt" or tame the kale.

Next, add the basil, zucchini, sun-dried tomato, and h**p seeds. Toss the salad until well combined.

Serve with baked tofu cut into cubes like croutons. Add other main character proteins like grilled salmon or chicken for a satisfying dinner. The leftovers make excellent lunches throughout the week!

💧 Don’t Sweat It—Balance Your Electrolytes This Summer!

Did you know electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are the real secret to summer hydration? These tiny, charged minerals help your muscles contract, regulate fluid balance, and even maintain your heart's rhythm. Your cells depend on them for energy and hydration—so losing electrolytes from sweat can throw everything out of whack!

Too little sodium (hyponatremia) can leave you feeling weak or confused, while too much (hypernatremia) puts stress on your body, affecting reflexes and even muscle control. The key? Stay balanced!

This summer, keep your hydration game strong with electrolyte-rich foods and drinks. Think bananas for potassium, leafy greens for magnesium, and a pinch of sea salt in your water! Your body (and energy levels!) will thank you.

💡 Pro tip: Always listen to your body—fatigue, cramps, or dizziness might mean it’s time for a hydration boost!

STOP EVERYTHING and make these Marinated Cannelini Beans, the lemony, herby bean salad of your dreams.

You will need:

2 (15-ounce cans) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped fresh herbs ( your choice of parsley, cilantro, basil, dill, tarragon, mint, etc)
2 diced fresh Roma tomatoes OR 2 roasted red peppers, finely diced. (I use the jarred peppers)
⅓ cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes if you like things more spicy!

Drain your beans and dice your vegetables. Put all ingredients together in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. But these are EVEN better when left over night. Serve them warm or cold; they can be eaten alone or on lettuce, pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Enjoy!

What are your favorite recipes using cannellini beans?
