The most important question to ask isn’t how many minutes or how many calories: it’s “How much do I enjoy this?”

Because if you don’t like it, you won’t do it, no matter how “good for you” it’s supposed to be.

For some people, joining an exercise class brings energy, connection, and accountability. They thrive in that environment. For others, those same classes feel uncomfortable or even triggering. That’s okay, too. 

👉🏼 There is no one-size-fits-all way to move your body.

✨ Maybe you hate the gym but love to dance in your kitchen.

✨ Maybe walking your dog through the woods is where you feel most alive.

✨ Maybe taking the stairs or stretching before bed gives you just enough of that spark.

Try this:

1️⃣ Make a list of movement that brings you a sense of joy, peace, or curiosity.

2️⃣ Choose one and do it this week.

3️⃣ Notice how your energy, mood, and self-talk shift when movement becomes something you get to do, not something you have to do.

Your body doesn’t need punishment, especially in midlife. It needs partnership.

Perimenopause and menopause are more than hormonal transitions—they’re identity transitions.

For those with a history of eating disorders or body image struggles, this phase can reopen old wounds and amplify mental health symptoms.

Clinicians: It’s time to treat midlife as a critical window of vulnerability and opportunity. 

With hormone-informed, weight-inclusive care, we can help women move through this stage with more stability, nourishment, and self-trust.

Get the education you need to start better supporting yourself or your clients through this transition with my brand new 2-hour on-demand course.

For $190 you get:

✨ 2-hour course
✨ 30 minute consult with me
✨ 3.5 CPEs! (for dietitians)

Midlife isn’t a betrayal; it’s communication.

The changes you and/or your clients are noticing—energy, sleep, skin, mood, shape—aren’t proof that something’s wrong.

They signal that the body needs more support, more nourishment, and more compassion than the “fix-it” mindset we’ve been taught.

As a dietitian, part of your job is to help clients understand this - and this starts with you gaining a deeper understanding yourself!

👉 If you’re ready to better understand this as a dietitian supporting clients through perimenopause or menopause or as a dietitian going through these changes yourself, register for my brand new course now!

💥 Special launch pricing of $190 and 3.50 CPEs for dietitians plus a 30-minute consult with me! 💥

Start listening and guiding with curiosity instead of control. That’s where real healing begins.

Hormones don’t just decline during perimenopause, they fluctuate. Wildly.

That’s because the body’s once perfectly synchronized system of checks and balances begins to fall out of rhythm as egg availability decreases.

What used to be a smooth hormonal dance becomes more like a free-form improv — and it can leave people feeling off balance, exhausted, or like they’re “losing it.”

✅ For clinicians, this means looking beyond labs and tuning into patterns, symptoms, and lived experience.

✅ For midlife women, it means knowing that what’s happening in your body is biological, not behavioral and support is available to help you through it.

Perimenopause may feel chaotic, but it’s your body doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

The chaos does calm down. 🌙

We’ve made progress in unlearning perfection, but body ideals still run deep.

👉🏼 Swipe for the reminder we all need, especially as our body changes in midlife.

Save this for a day you need perspective.

Midlife is an invitation to soften those rules.

To question the messages we absorbed about candy, sugar, and what it means to be “healthy.”

🎃This Halloween, give yourself permission to let go of the old stories.

You don’t have to earn candy, fear it, or moralize it. You can simply enjoy it and the freedom that comes with not making it mean anything about you.

Hormone therapy can be life-changing for women in midlife — but only when it’s approached with nuance, compassion, and collaboration.

As providers, we have a responsibility to move beyond outdated narratives and “quick fixes.”

🌸 Supporting a woman through perimenopause or menopause means understanding her whole picture: her mental health, her history with food and body image, her trauma, and her biology.

Hormone therapy isn’t about balancing levels - our cycles and phases of life change and this is normal. It’s about restoring quality of life.

When we listen, validate, and collaborate across disciplines, we create space for healing instead of confusion.
