We know that sleeps gets disrupted in menopause, but what to do about it?

First, create awareness around it and try to track it, using apps or simple diary.

Things to pay attention are: how many times are you waking up? How much time does it take for you to fall asleep?

Collect some data over 2- 4 weeks period and find out what your triggers are.

That will help you more easily regulate your habits. You might need to drop that spicy food or reduce alcohol before bedtime or reduce stress.

Let me know if you are already tracking your sleep?

😊💜🙏

What are your bedtime rituals? Are you tentative to how you wind down your day?

Sleep can be regulated with a good bedtime routine.

You can incorporate these steps:

• going to sleep and waking up at the same time
• going earler to bed cause first 4 hours of sleep are super important, you get rested more then
• warm shower
• calming breath exercise

😊🙏💜

Sleep in menopause is affected by:

• estrogen & progesterone decline, which affects melatonin & serotonin, hormones that regulate sleep.

• cortisol levels - if we are stressed, we are producing it more, it's harder to get to sleep.

• insulin - an unbalanced diet can affect glucose levels, which leads to disruptive sleep, too

If you are noticing that you are having difficulties with sleeping, you can go to your naturopath or GP to get tested for iron, b12, thyriod, or even sleep apnea.

Fibre Rich Food...🧅🧄🫘🥑🫛🥔🥕🥦🍊🍓🫐🥬🫜

Fibre in your diet is feeding good gut bacteria. It makes them grow!

Having good gut bacteria is important for blood glucose, general metabolic health, and weight management.

Which food is having fibre?

Beans & legumes, onion family & garlic, leeks, asparagus... or using cook & cooling method for potatoes and rice to get more starch. Starch will feed the microbiome and good bugs.

This week, try to incorporate fibre and let me know how it go?

Are you paying attention to fibre? How much fibre are you incorporating into your diet?

🌿 Fibre can help you feel fuller
🌿 It feeds good bacteria in your gut
🌿 It also improves insulin sensitivity

Fibre can be found in legumes, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

What would be protein lunch?

• Fish - Salmon & sardines are excellent sources of animal protein but also omega-3

• Chicken & Turkey - they have lean protein, which is important to maintain muscle mass.

• Tempeh & Tofu - great source of plant protein, rich in isoflavones that act as week estrogen.

• Lentis & Beans - again, great source of plant protein, fibre, and phytoestrogens that mimic estrogen.

Which one do you prefer, and will it be easy to incorporate it into your eating rutine? 😊

Do you know if you are insuline resistant? Have you checked yourself?

Insuline resistance & weight gain in menopause are connected.

There is a shift in hormones, and we develop insuline resistance, which then can lead to getting meno bellly.

You can get tested if you are insulin resistant, or you can measure yourself around the weist to see how big you are.

And, you can support your body by eating protein daily, exercising, and with sleep regulation.

In menopause there are many combined factors that are causing increased body weight.

• Loss of muscle mass - women start to lose muscle mass, and muscles are burning fat, even when resting.

• Sleeping Problems - decline in hormones interrupts our sleeping cycle, and our metabolism changes.

• Becoming Insulin Resistant - hormonal changes are affecting how pur cells are responding to insulin. We can get higher blood sugar and start storing more fat.

You can support your body with diet changes, regulate sleeping habits, and implement supplements and herbal support.
