9. How the Mediterranean Diet Can Improve Sleep and Ease Menopause Symptoms

In this episode, we explore the important role nutrition plays in supporting women during menopause and how it can influence sleep, mood, and overall wellbeing.  Many women focus on hormones alone, but what we eat every day can have a powerful impact on how our bodies cope with hormonal changes. In this episode, I explain the foundations of nutrition and introduce the Mediterranean way of eating  a balanced dietary pattern rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, olive oil, herbs, and healthy proteins.  Drawing from both research and my own cultural background as an Italian, where this way of eating has always been part of daily life, we look at how this approach may help support the nervous system, stabilise blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and provide key nutrients that contribute to better sleep.  We’ll also explore how nutrition may help ease some menopause symptoms such as anxiety, mood changes, brain fog, and low energy.  If you’re looking for a sustainable and nourishing way to support your body through menopause while improving sleep, this episode will give you a practical overview and gentle guidance to get started.  ________________________________________ Get your free menopause & sleep tracker here:   https://subscribepage.io/X9hxGn   Download your free 7-day evening prompt & ritual journal:  https://subscribepage.io/PIkVHS   Book a free 121 coaching 30-minute intro call:    https://cal.com/cbcoachingltd/30min?overlayCalendar=true   Contact me:   Email - [email protected]   Website - https://www.cbcoachingltd.co.uk/   Linktree - https://linktr.ee/cbcoachingltd
