Movement is one of the best ways to support hormonal balance, mood, and metabolism—but it needs the right nutrition to make the most impact.
The key principles:
- The pre-workout snacks: Choose a mix of carbs and a little protein (e.g. banana + almond butter)
- Post- workout meals: Replenish with plant protein, complex carbs, and hydration
- Stay hydrated: Hormonal shifts can affect your thirst signals- don’t wait to feel thirsty!
Why It Matters:
In midlife, muscle mass tends to decline and recovery slows. Eating well around workouts helps build lean muscle, reduce inflammation, and keep your energy up.
Whether you love Pilates, walking, or weight training – your plate should be your partner.
