Ancestral Nutrition & Hormone Health for Women 40+
I was in perimenopause before I knew there was a word for it. I had never heard it. I
just thought my body was how my body was.
I was eating whole foods only โ no junk, nothing processed โ and I was sure I was doing
everything right. Yet I was bloated most days, and losing muscle so gradually I never
even noticed it happening. I also had brain fog, which I didn't realize until it finally
lifted.
The only thing I actually noticed was that my gums were starting to recede, seemingly
out of the blue. My oral hygiene was meticulous, so it made no sense to me. Six dentists
told me I was brushing too hard. I wasn't brushing hard โ so that answer never sat
right. It took me a year of reading to connect the dots, and every one of them led back
to my changing hormones.
That's when I connected it to my nutrition, too. I was short on the very nutrients that
are hardest to get without animal foods โ complete protein, B12, retinol. When I changed
how I eat, my body started coming back. Energy. Clear thinking. No more bloating.
Nourished in Midlife is everything I learned โ all the nutrition we need as
women in midlife and in the years to come.
