S4 Ep178: Mid-life Nutrition: Tips and Tricks From a Dietician with Dr. Alexandra Filingeri

Any mid-life woman knows that once you hit your 40s, 50s, or 60s, things will not go well if you eat the same way you did when you were 20. But it’s confusing to know what to eat, and how much to eat, without downloading multiple APPs and carrying around a calculator 

My guest, Alexandra Filingeri, holds a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition with a focus on evidence-based nutrition interventions, particularly in mid-life and menopause.  In this episode, we cover practical nutrition tips- what to eat and how much to eat to maximize health aging. Dr. Filingeri also answered questions that came in from my Substack readers.
