What should you actually be eating during menopause? Florence Rowe, our registered dietitian at Ess*x Private Doctors, has a clear answer. π
There is so much conflicting advice out there right now. Should you fast? Should you go keto? Should you cut out inflammatory foods? It is genuinely hard to know what to do.
Here is Florence's number one piece of advice: this is not the time to restrict. This is the time to fuel.
During perimenopause and menopause, your blood sugar regulation is changing, your sleep may be disrupted, and your energy reserves are already under pressure. Eating too little through the day makes all of this significantly worse. That lethargic, heavy, slow feeling that so many women experience during menopause? Often, undereating is a major contributing factor.
The answer is not a special diet or a strict protocol. It is making sure you are properly fuelling your body during the hours when you are most active, so that your energy, mood, and metabolism have what they need to function well.
Florence offers dedicated menopause nutrition consultations at Ess*x Private Doctors in Brentwood, working alongside our specialist menopause doctors to provide joined-up, evidence-based support.
If you are struggling with energy, weight, or simply feeling like nothing is working the way it used to, a conversation with Florence could be exactly the right next step.
