Full-Fat vs Low-Fat in Menopause: What Supports Hormone Balance?

from Menopause

If you’ve ever chosen low-fat foods thinking they were the healthier option, this episode offers a gentler, more supportive perspective. Liz explores why the old low-fat message may not always serve women well during perimenopause and menopause, especially when blood sugar balance, energy, cravings, and hormone support become more important.In this episode, Liz explains how many low-fat foods are often higher in sugar and why healthy fats can play an important role in steadier energy, fuller satisfaction, and overall wellbeing. She shares why focusing on whole foods, balanced meals, and how your body feels can be far more helpful than chasing food labels or outdated diet rules.This is a grounded conversation about moving away from restriction and towards nourishment, balance, and better support for your body during menopause.Follow the podcast, share this episode with someone who needs it, and check the link in the show notes for The Seven Day Mini Reset.Hashtags/Keywords: #MenopausePodcast #HormoneBalance #PerimenopauseSupport #MenopauseNutrition #BloodSugarBalance #SevenDayMiniReset
