Midlife Is Not the Time to Start Another Diet | Intuitive Eating with Dr. Jenn Huber (AKA: The Menopause Nutritionist)

Send us Fan MailFor so many women, midlife becomes the moment they feel like they need to control their bodies more.Eat less. Cut carbs. Increase protein. Start fasting. Fix your cortisol. Track everything.But what if perimenopause and menopause are not the time to start another diet?In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jenn Salib Huber, a naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, menopause nutritionist, and author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause, for a refreshing conversation about intuitive eating through midlife.We talk about why perimenopause can create a second wave of body dissatisfaction, how years of dieting can disconnect women from their hunger and fullness cues, and what it actually means to rebuild trust with your body.Dr. Jenn breaks down the difference between eating whatever you want and true intuitive eating, why satisfaction is such an important part of nutrition, and how restriction can fuel the exact overeating patterns women are trying to avoid.We also get into the biggest midlife nutrition conversations happening online, including metabolism changes, protein, carbohydrates, soy, dairy, creatine, calcium, intermittent fasting, “cortisol belly,” and whether women really need to completely overhaul the way they eat during perimenopause and menopause.This episode is not about ignoring nutrition or giving up on your health. It is about learning how to nourish yourself without spending the next several decades tracking, restricting, and constantly feeling like your body is a problem that needs to be fixed.You can find Dr. Jenn Salib Huber on Instagram at @menopause.nutritionist, and her book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, is available wherever books are sold.Use code GGW20 for 20% Stay Above Nutrition products (US & Canada)!You can check them out hereSHOP OUR MERCH HERE <3Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @girlsgonewellnesspodcast for updates and more wellness tips.
