If you’ve been feeling flat, foggy, or wired but tired, it might not just be stress or perimenopause. It could be what, and how, you are feeding your brain during this chapter.
In this first episode of my new mini-series, 6 Lifestyle Levers: Small Shifts, Big Impact, we focus on Nourish: how nutrition shapes mood, energy, and emotional balance during menopause.
You’ll learn:
-
Why falling oestrogen changes the way your body absorbs and uses key nutrients
-
How to fuel the feel-good neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) that support mood and sleep
-
Simple food swaps that calm inflammation and boost brain health, including olive oil, walnuts, and tinned fish
It's a brisky and thought-provoking 10-minute episode designed to help you think about the 6 Lifestyle Levers that can make a change for us all, and talks about evidence-based nutrition insights for midlife women, explained in plain English with practical, real-life advice. No jargon, no kale smoothies, no guilt.
Whether you are choosing HRT to help your menopause journey or not, these Lifestyle Levers are useful for us all to consider, especially in protecting our mental health and wellbeing during this time - and if we can work with our body and brain to support this transition, and not unwittingly be doing things that perhaps make matters worse, surely that can only be a good thing?
If you want to turn this knowledge into a clear, personal plan of action that fits your life, join me for the Menopause & Mental Health Workshop - 6 Lifestyle Levers online on Tuesday 22 October at 7 pm. Sign up at https://actuallyshecan.co.uk/6Levers
