The food we cook every day plays a major role in how we feel—especially as our bodies evolve during perimenopause and menopause. Cooking at home gives you the power to nourish yourself intentionally.
Key nutrients needed:
- Phytoestrogens (like flaxseeds, soy , chickpeas) to support hormone balance
- Calcium & Vitamin D for bone health
- Fiber to regulate digestion and blood sugar
- Omega-3s (like walnuts and chia) for brain and heart health
Keep it simple
Healthy meals don’t require hours in the kitchen. Think:
- One-pan roasted veggies + lentils
- Overnight oats with flax and berries
- Stir-fried tofu with sesame greens
- Hummus wraps with colorful slaw
Cooking becomes joyful when you know it’s helping you feel better- inside and out.
