What's the "perfect" diet for perimenopause? Spoiler alert: it doesn't exist - at least not in the way you think. In this episode, Megan breaks down why the diet that works for your body might be completely different from what works for anyone else's, even during the same life stage.Drawing on insights from the landmark SWAN study and her years of clinical experience, Megan explores how hormonal changes during perimenopause affect insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and how your body processes different foods. She shares her own journey through the "nutritionist gone wild" phase of trying every diet under the sun - paleo, vegetarian, keto, low-carb - only to discover that the real answer lies in listening to your own body's feedback.Learn about:Why insulin resistance increases during perimenopause (independent of age)How continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising truths about your unique food responsesThe difference between "just getting by" and actually thrivingWhy the diet wars (high protein vs. low protein, high fat vs. low fat) miss the point entirelyPractical ways to tune into your body's signals about energy, sleep, digestion, and mental healthIf you're experiencing brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, or metabolic changes during perimenopause, this episode offers a refreshingly personalized approach to finding what actually works for you.
