129. Plant-Based Diet in Perimenopause
from Strong Like a Mother · host Tiffany Wickes
Can a vegan, phytoestrogen-rich diet actually help with perimenopause symptoms… or is it just another wellness trend making the rounds?In this episode, Tiffany breaks down what phytoestrogens really are (and what they’re not), what the science actually supports, and why some women feel dramatically better when they go plant-forward — while others feel no difference at all. She also shares her personal experience shifting to a highly plant-based, lower-fat approach (not extreme veganism) and what she’s seeing in her own energy, training, blood sugar, and body composition.This conversation isn’t about “soy fixes everything.” It’s about creating the right metabolic environment with consistency: enough protein, enough calories, strength training, stable blood sugar, and recovery. Tiffany also covers the common pitfalls of poorly planned vegan diets in perimenopause and how to avoid them.Thank you for supporting my small business.
