205 - Essential Nutrients in Menopause — How to Feed Your Midlife Powerhouse

Feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, or like your body just isn't responding the way it used to? It may not be "just hormones." It may be what your cells are missing. In this episode of Hot & Healthy Menopause, we break down the six essential nutrients your body cannot make on its own — and why they matter even more during perimenopause and menopause. You'll learn: • Why protein becomes non-negotiable for muscle, metabolism, and hormone balance • The truth about healthy fats — especially omega-3s — for brain, mood, and heart health • How to choose carbohydrates that stabilise blood sugar instead of spiking anxiety • The critical role of magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin D in midlife • Why hydration is the most overlooked menopause strategy Nutrition in menopause isn't about restriction. It's about nourishment. When you understand how macronutrients and micronutrients support estrogen, cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones, and bone health — you can eat in a way that protects your energy, your mood, and your long-term vitality.
