Episode 49: What to Eat in Your 40s (and Beyond): The Best Diet for Perimenopause

The truth is, the best diet for perimenopause isn’t about following strict rules or jumping on the latest trend. It’s about nourishing your whole body to build lasting energy, improve sleep, reduce hormonal symptoms like night sweats, irritability, brain fog, or mood swings, and support long-term health.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why perimenopause changes everything—from blood sugar regulation to bone density
• The five key pillars of perimenopause nutrition
• How to build balanced, satisfying meals without obsessing over calories
• Foods to focus on and those to limit
• Why a Mediterranean-style pattern is a great foundation
• Simple, sustainable habits to help you feel your best
