@rhodestobalance: If you’re in perimenopause and feel like you’re “eating healthy” but still dealing with weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep, or cravings… this is may be why 👇 In this phase, your body is more sensitive to: • blood sugar swings • cortisol (stress) • inflammation • gut health Which means it’s not just what you eat… it’s how you eat. These are the exact habits I focus on with my patients: • start your day with protein (aim ~25–30g) • don’t skip meals or under-eat • build balanced meals (protein + carbs + fats) • prioritize fiber daily (20–30g) • pair carbs with protein/fat (don’t eat them alone) • hydrate + support minerals • limit ultra-processed foods • avoid late-night heavy meals • slow down when you eat • focus on consistency, not perfection This isn’t about restriction—it’s about supporting your body in a phase where it needs it more. Save this as your foundation and follow along for more hormone-balancing education🫶🏼 #hormonebalance #menopause #perimenopause #cortisol #healthyeating
