HelloMenopause
I keep a pot of cooked quinoa in the fridge to add extra protein to meals all week. Your hormones will love it. You can add it to:
Salads
Oatmeal
Veggies
Soup
Muffins
It’s grain-free (it’s a seed), and gluten-free, plus high in plant-based protein. When you want the protein without saturated fat, quinoa is a great choice.
The menopause “cortisol belly” is real. Nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to supporting this new season of life.
When your stress hormone, cortisol, is chronically high from ANY kind of stress, your beautiful body starts to store fat as a survival mechanism.
The solution➡️ Nourish your nervous system. Don’t forget about bringing down cortisol through mindset, embrace menopause, add gentle movement like walking with a friend, prioritize sleep, EAT, and stick to a routine. Your brain and body love a routine.

🌿🍋An easy swap you can make that keeps hormones, lungs, pets and kids a little less exposed to the many chemicals we’re all exposed to every day.
Fill a jar with citrus peels and herbs. Cover with vinegar, put a lid on it (with parchment under it to prevent rusting), and store in a dark cupboard for two weeks.
Give it a light shake every day. Strain it into a glass spray bottle and use to clean counters, sinks, mirrors, glass table tops, you name it.
It’s naturally antibacterial, super fresh, and chemical-free.
If you’re tired of boring veggies, this 4 ingredient marinade might change things for you.
2 Tbsp tamari
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili paste
Marinate broccolini, cauliflower, carrots, onion, or zucchini in it and roast. Top with sesame seeds (if not allergic!)
You can easily prep this in the morning and leave it marinating in the fridge until you’re ready to roast at dinner.
