Ep. 4 - Thriving Through Menopause: Part I

Today on About Thyme Podcast, we’re cutting through the noise about menopause and perimenopause. Many women are told “this is just how it is,” but the truth is, nutrition and lifestyle shifts can actually help you feel better, sleep better, manage weight changes, and reduce those relentless hot flashes.

We’ll break down:
-Why your metabolism changes in menopause
-Foods that help balance hormones (and which may make symptoms worse)
-The truth about alcohol, caffeine, and sleep in menopause
-Small, practical shifts you can start today to reclaim your energy and confidence.

You deserve to thrive, not just survive.

Today’s Achievable Action: Eat a protein-rich breakfast within an hour of waking up. This stabilizes your blood sugar, supports muscle, and tells your body it’s safe, helping reduce cortisol-driven fat storage.
