THE PERIOD WHISPERER PODCAST - Perimenopause, Menopause, Cortisol, Weight Loss, Hormone Balancing, Insomnia, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Libido, Your Guide To Thriving In MidLife

As a new year begins, instead of adding pressure, I want to offer nutrition guidance that supports your body right now.Nutrition often feels harder in perimenopause, not because you’re doing it wrong, but because your body’s needs have changed. In this conversation, I'll walk you through why energy demand starts to outweigh energy supply in midlife, why cravings can show up even when you’re eating “well,” and how understanding your metabolic tendencies can bring clarity without obsession. I also share a simple way to start paying attention to how food actually makes you feel, without tracking calories or following someone else’s plan. If you want nutrition to feel easier, calmer, and more doable this year, I’d love for you to listen in.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Welcome + New Year Reset02:40 – Why Nutrition Matters Most05:10 – Why Nutrition Feels Hard07:15 – Energy Demand vs Supply11:45 – The Role of Pleasure13:40 – Cravings and Survival Mode15:05 – Understanding Metabolic Types18:30 – Testing What Fuels You21:10 – Stop Following Others’ Rules23:20 – Tracking Feelings, Not Calories25:20 – When Nutrition Still Isn’t WorkingResources:If nutrition still feels harder than it should, start with the foundations.
