What to Eat During Menopause
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn't mean you simply have to put up with the symptoms. In this episode I explore how nutrition can help support many of the biological changes that take place during menopause and, most importantly, how to turn that science into practical, delicious meals.
We'll look at why falling oestrogen affects blood sugar regulation, the role of phytoestrogens found in foods like tofu and soy, how to support bone health beyond simply taking calcium, and why cardiovascular health becomes increasingly important after menopause.
Rather than focusing on supplements or restrictive diets, I'll show you how to build meals that work with your changing physiology using everyday ingredients such as beans, lentils, wholegrains, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, extra virgin olive oil and soy foods.
In this episode you'll discover:
• Why menopause can affect blood sugar, energy and body composition
• The science behind phytoestrogens and which foods contain them
• How to support healthy bones through food, not just calcium supplements
• Why heart health should become a priority during and after menopause
• Practical meal ideas and recipe inspiration you can start using straight away
If you've ever wondered what you should actually be eating during menopause, this episode will give you the science, the food and the practical know-how to help you put it all onto your plate.
