Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we talk about perimenopause…
There is so much information out there about what women should be doing during this transition, including what to eat, how to exercise, which supplements to take, and what symptoms to expect.
And so much of the messaging seems to focus on everything that might go wrong. The idea that this transition is going to turn your world upside down. And by “world,” I mean your body, your mind, and everything in between.
But what if we approached it a little differently?
Instead of viewing this stage as something your body is doing to you, what if we saw it as an opportunity to tune in a little more closely to what your body needs?
Maybe that means prioritizing nourishment and recovery, getting enough protein and fiber, incorporating a greater variety of plants, finding movement that supports rather than exhausts you, paying closer attention to sleep, or finding ways to support your nervous system.
And often, it means zooming out and looking at the bigger picture. Because how you feel during this transition may be influenced by more than hormonal changes alone.
Vesi and I will be exploring this perspective at our upcoming workshop on October 25th, Mood, Microbiome & Midlife.
If this resonates with you, we would love to have you join us!
