Learn how specific foods can support your body through perimenopause and menopause
The Savor Strategies of Healing
Our culture equates weight gain and “over-weight” with being unhealthy.
However, the scientific literature shows only a correlation between weight and disease, not a causal relationship especially during menopause.
Here’s what you’ll learn in our work together…
- How to practice gentle nutrition with attunement to your hunger, satisfaction, and fullness cues – in other words, what, when, and how to eat without dieting.
- Understand why certain foods seem sexier than others – like you’re getting away with something when you eat them – think M&M’s, Tortilla Chips, and Cookies in front of Netflix at 9 PM.
- What specific foods support your changing body in perimenopause and menopause how to add them to your daily meals and snacks.
- You’ll put all the pieces together in a continuous practice of honoring hunger, satisfaction, emotional well-being, individual nutrient needs, and fullness (with food and life).
ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH OF THESE FOODS?
Eat this. Don't eat that. Eat more protein. Don't eat too many carbs. With so much nutrition information out there for perimenopause and menopause, it's hard to know what to eat. Let's make food easier!
