Motivation to Blog!

I was motivated to start a blog because I struggled with navigating perimenopause and menopause. Despite being a natural phase in every woman's life, I was woefully unprepared and lacked essential information. While I acknowledged my part in not seeking out knowledge sooner, I was also disheartened by the inadequate guidance from my doctor and the general silence on the topic. It often felt like my concerns were dismissed as "all in my head," making it easier for others to avoid the conversation. This lack of discourse and support around menopause is a disservice to all women, and it drove me to create a platform where we can openly discuss and share valuable insights, experiences, and advice.

"So, let's talk about it."

"I can support you on your journey with my experience and knowledge, and the best part is that I have your best interest at heart. Knowledge is a powerful tool and can be a great ally when dealing with perimenopause and menopause. I will provide the information, skills, and knowledge I have gained through my journey. Subscribe to my blogs today, and let's start the conversation."

Fuel your body, boost your energy levels, and prioritize longevity! This should be everyone's motto.

However, many people still need to acknowledge the importance of proper nutrition. In this post, I want to share the significant changes I have made to my approach to nutrition. Instead of following diets, I have shifted my focus towards a more holistic view of my nutritional lifestyle. I focus on fueling my body with “good” carbs, sugars, fats, and fiber. This change resulted in sustainable adjustments that improved my health. I lost 15.4 lbs, 3 points of visceral fat, and 4 inches off my waist; I have more energy, sleep better, and have maintained it.

As we navigate through life, especially during the transition of menopause, the importance of a balanced diet becomes increasingly evident. What we eat plays a significant role in managing menopausal symptoms and enhancing overall health. Understanding the value of "good" carbs, sugars, and fats is crucial in making informed dietary choices that support your body's needs.
