Perimenopause Nutrition: What to Eat in Your 30s and 40s to Feel Like Yourself Again

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and suddenly feeling off, mood swings, weight gain, cravings, sleep issues; welcome to perimenopause.

No one warned us it would start this early. But here we are.

 What’s Happening:

Your estrogen + progesterone start shifting (sometimes dramatically). And your old routine? Doesn’t work like it used to.

Here’s What Helps:

• Prioritize protein- 30g+ per meal

• Ditch low-fat everything- your hormones need healthy fats

• Balance blood sugar- eat meals, not snacks

• Cut the wine every night habit (yep, I said it)

• Lift heavy-  not nutrition, but too important to leave out

 Real Talk:

You don’t need to “eat less.” You need to eat smarter and support your hormones like the boss you are. And no- this isn’t just “aging.” You’re not broken. You just need a new playbook.
