🌟 Welcome to World Menopause Month! 🌟

We're excited to invite you to our menopause/perimenopause workshop at Pathways Integrative Health Clinic this month! 🎟️ Ticket link at the end of the post. Only 4 tickets left! 2 more weeks to get the early bird price!

Let's dive into a topic that often raises questions: Coffee intake during menopause—beneficial or detrimental?

Recent research has highlighted the health benefits of coffee, including:
- Boosting energy
- Rich in antioxidants
- Lowering depression
- Reducing heart failure risk with one black coffee per day

These benefits typically apply when coffee is consumed moderately and without milk. However, during the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, it's essential to observe how coffee affects you:

Ask yourself:
- Are you experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, acid reflux, palpitations, anxiety, chronic diarrhoea/loose stools, have insomnia?
- If so, you may need to reduce or quit coffee.

If you don’t want to stop ( and I totally understand!) A few tips for healthier coffee consumption:
- Avoid milk or limit to just a dash.
- Drink between 6 AM and 10 AM, always on a full stomach. Between meals it weaken your digestive system.
- Hydrate first: Have a cup of warm water with lemon and honey 20 minutes before coffee, or at least a glass of warm water just before drinking it.
- Choose organic: to avoid pesticides.

For more lifestyle tips during your Second Spring (Menopause), or understand why coffee has these effects depending on your unique constitution, join us for a nourishing and informative morning on October the 19th!

Skipping Breakfast? Let’s Fix That.

Why you need to stop skipping breakfast and what to do instead…

I often hear from clients that they just aren’t hungry in the morning, so they skip breakfast or settle for a coffee.

But by mid-afternoon? They need a sugar hit to get through their afternoon. And by the time dinner comes around they are so hungry that they need huge portions to feel satisfied. Sound familiar?

Skipping breakfast is not doing you any favours. It sets you up for poor blood sugar control, insulin spikes and poor energy.

Sugar cravings in the afternoon and overeating in the evening are the result of poor blood sugar control and your body crying out for nutrition.

A better plan? Start with a protein-rich breakfast that includes protein, fibre and healthy fats. Try scrambled eggs with avocado, chia seed pudding, or a smoothie with berries and protein powder.

It’ll keep you full, satisfied, and free from those late-day crashes.

A balanced breakfast isn’t just about fuelling your body; it’s about setting the stage for balanced blood sugar, fewer cravings and more consistent energy all day long.
