Midlife restriction doesn't always ring the alarm bells as an “eating disorder.” 

But it can quietly work against your client's hormones, energy, and recovery. 

Your midlife client may be undereating without realizing it, or restricting in ways she's normalized over decades. 

During perimenopause, underfueling has real consequences, affecting bone density, hormonal balance, and metabolic function. Knowing the difference between intentional restriction and disordered patterns is part of the work. 

This is a significant part of the learning in my on-demand course, Beyond Nutrition: Integrating Hormone Therapy and Psychopharmacology in Eating Disorder Treatment During Perimenopause and Menopause.

For $285, you’ll get:

👉3.5 CPEs for dietitians 
👉2-hour on-demand course
👉30-minute consult with me

Hormone support, including progestogen support, is never one size fits all. Progesterone and synthetic progestins are progestogens and we commonly use four progestogens in hormone therapy treatment.

Treatment decisions are about what your client is hoping to experience, along with past experiences and current needs.

Selecting an appropriate progestogen is based on the clinical picture of a patient's overall needs and is related to the desired bleeding pattern, vasomotor symptoms, cardiovascular risk and risk for fracture.

One of the best references currently available is the ‘Role of progestogens in hormone therapy’ - a short Step-By-Step paper published in October, 2025, and available to Menopause Society members.

As dietitians working with midlife clients we need to understand hormone therapy and how to integrate it into our work. Knowing these differences in hormone therapy options can help us care for our patients more wholly and in collaboration with their care team.

My 2-hour on-demand course ($285) is designed to help you support midlife clients with hormone therapy.

If your midlife client is complaining about bloating, new food sensitivities, or unpredictable appetite, estrogen can be one relevant variable in a complex presentation.

Estrogen plays a role in gut motility, microbiome diversity, and how well the body absorbs nutrients. 

When estrogen declines, the gut environment your client has relied on for decades begins to shift.

At the same time, hormonal shifts create a vulnerability window that can unmask or amplify underlying GI issues as a full and separate diagnosis worth investigating on its own terms.

As her dietitian, understanding the estrogen-gut connection changes how you support her. It moves the conversation beyond meal plans and into the kind of care that accounts for what her body is actually going through.

🌸 My course, Beyond Nutrition, is meant to help you understand ALL of the hormone changes your client is experiencing, plus how to use hormone therapy to address those changes.

Calling out a few past episodes of TheNPRD podcast as we close out Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

These powerful conversations still resonate today as much as when they were first recorded and it’s worth noting that the amazing conversation with Jessie Diggins marked the beginning of TheNPRD podcast in 2021!

Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek for season 5 of TheNPRD podcast later this month.

🎧 Stay tuned!

Many dietitians were never formally trained in eating disorders—and that’s not a personal failing.

02/17/2026

When a midlife client is struggling with body image, it’s tempting to reach for reassurance, reframing, or acceptance-based tools right away.

For many women, this distress is emerging alongside real physiological shifts—changes in hormones, sleep, stress tolerance, and body predictability.

What looks like “old body image issues resurfacing” is often a nervous system responding to biological change.

Support in this season may require:

🌸Slowing the pace of intervention
🌸Loosening rigid nutrition or movement expectations
🌸Prioritizing neutrality and safety over positivity
🌸Listening for signals of strain rather than resistance

Midlife body image work is about validating, shifting, and learning new ways while meeting the body where it is.
