40 different plant foods per week sounds IMPOSSIBLE, right? 🌱

Wrong. You're probably already at 15-20 without even trying.

Here's the secret: It's not just vegetables. It includes:
✨ Tea and coffee
✨ Spices and herbs
✨ Nuts and seeds
✨ Fruits, veggies, beans, legumes, lentils

Put cinnamon in your coffee? That's 2.
Almonds and pumpkin seeds on chia pudding with mixed berries? That's 6 right there.

**Easy ways to add more:**
→ Keep frozen veggies and fruits on hand
→ Buy a few different nuts/seeds to sprinkle on dishes
→ Add new spices or herbs to your pantry
→ Try a new tea flavor

Track for one week and you'll be surprised how close you already are.

Variety = microbiome diversity = better gut health in perimenopause.

Your gut needs variety, not perfection.

01/04/2026

Let's talk about something nobody else is: your va**nal microbiome is changing in perimenopause. 🗣️

Your va**na has its own ecosystem of bacteria -primarily lactobacilli - that keeps the pH acidic to protect against infections. Estrogen supports these lactobacilli.

So as estrogen drops in perimenopause, your va**nal microbiome becomes less diverse and less protective.

This is why UTIs, yeast infections, and bacterial vaginosis suddenly become more common in your 40s and 50s - even if you've NEVER dealt with them before.

It's not poor hygiene. It's not that you're doing something wrong.

It's perimenopause changing your microbiome.

And here's what will blow your mind: Your gut microbiome and va**nal microbiome TALK TO EACH OTHER through the gut-va**na axis.

When your gut is struggling → va**nal issues get worse
When you have recurring va**nal infections → it affects your gut

They're in this together.

This is why probiotics for "women's health" contain lactobacillus strains—they're supporting BOTH ecosystems.

🎧 Listen to the full 2-part podcast series (link in bio) to understand:
→ The gut-va**na connection
→ Why this is happening NOW
→ What you can actually do about it

You deserve answers. You deserve validation. You deserve solutions.

Stop carpet bombing your microbiome. 🛑

The bacteria, viruses, yeast, and fungi in and around us are mostly our FRIENDS. They live in a beautiful, mutually beneficial relationship with us. We need them to live.

Yes, there are bad actors. Yes, some bacteria make us sick. But we don't want to continuously kill off ALL the microbes that are there to protect us.

**Things that disrupt your protective bacteria:**
❌ Alcohol-based mouthwashes
❌ Hand sanitizers (overuse)
❌ Disinfectant sprays and cleaning products
❌ Unnecessary antibiotics
❌ Douching and va**nal cleansers
❌ Chemical-based period products
❌ Body products with endocrine disruptors
❌ Anything that brags about killing 99.9% of germs

In perimenopause, your microbiome is already under stress from dropping estrogen. Over-sanitizing makes it worse.

You don't need to disinfect everything. You need to SUPPORT your ecosystem.

→ How to protect your microbiome
→ What's actually helping vs hurting
→ My exact protocol for gut healing in perimenopause

Your body knows what to do. Let's give it the support it needs.

Not all bacteria are bad - in fact, healthy guts have some "bad" bacteria like C. diff and E. coli. 🦠

The problem isn't the bacteria themselves. It's when they get too much real estate in your gut.

Here's what can happen when your microbiome is out of balance:
✨ Autoimmune diseases
✨ Skin issues (psoriasis, eczema, rosacea)
✨ Fatigue and sleep disruptions
✨ GI symptoms (gas, bloating, constipation)
✨ Mood challenges (depression, anxiety)
✨ Hormone and metabolic issues
✨ Allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease

That's a LONG list. And here's the thing: the connection often goes BOTH ways. The condition can influence gut issues, and gut issues can influence the condition.

In perimenopause, dropping estrogen is already disrupting your microbiome - which is why so many symptoms suddenly appear in your 40s.

This isn't about killing all the bacteria. It's about creating balance.

🎧 Want to know how? Listen to my 2-part podcast series on gut health in perimenopause (link in bio). I break down exactly what's happening and what you can do about it.

https://meganpfiffnernutrition.com/gut-digestive-health/why-your-gut-went-rogue-in-perimenopause-part-1/

You're not crazy. You're not broken. Your gut just needs support.

12/31/2025

🧠 Your gut and brain are in constant conversation - and in perimenopause, that conversation can get LOUD.

Hippocrates said "all disease begins in the gut," and while that's not entirely true, the gut is connected to

A LOT:
→ Hot flashes and night sweats (via inflammation)
→ Mood, sleep, and pain (90% of serotonin is produced in your gut!)
→ Weight gain and energy crashes (insulin resistance)

Here's what most people don't know: Your gut serotonin doesn't cross into your brain, but your gut microbiome DOES influence your brain's serotonin production through the gut-brain axis.

So when we heal the gut? We're often improving multiple perimenopause symptoms at once.

This is exactly why I created a 2-part podcast series on gut health in perimenopause. If you're dealing with bloating, brain fog, mood swings, or unexplained weight gain—your gut might be screaming for help.

🎧 Listen to the full episode (link in bio) to understand what's happening and what to DO about it.

Your gut isn't broken. Your perimenopause isn't in your head. Let's fix this together.

Here's the thing about overwhelm: most of it comes from tasks you didn't even choose. 😤

If you wake up with a million things on your plate that someone else assigned you - things that don't seem like a big deal but are bringing you to your knees - try this:

Pick ONE thing YOU want to do and make it happen.

Adding when you're overwhelmed seems backward, but we're changing the RATIO. More things you chose, fewer things you didn't.

Because here's the key: it's not about how hard the task is. It's about whether YOU put it on your plate or not.

Take back some control. Your nervous system will thank you.

Your bandwidth is PRECIOUS. 🎯

In perimenopause, you cannot give 100% to everything - and that's not a failure, that's biology.

So here's the question: Where do you WANT to spend your energy?

Do you love cooking? Is Thanksgiving your Super Bowl?

Then spend your bandwidth there and delegate the cleaning.

Take pride in a spotless house? Lean into that and order the sides.

Hate cleaning? Hire someone or delegate it. Why spend your precious bandwidth on something you detest?

You get to choose. And that choice matters more than you think.

Women are MORE THAN TWICE as likely to develop Alzheimer's after 60 than breast cancer. And we make up 2/3 of all Alzheimer's patients.

One of the risk factors? Undiagnosed sleep apnea.
If you're snoring, waking up gasping, or sleeping through the night but feeling like you got zero rest - this is for you.

5 signs you should talk to your doctor about sleep apnea + what to do about it in this week's episode: Why You're Still Tired (Even When You Sleep) 🎧

Your body is waking you up all night to save your life. And you have no idea it's happening.

This is what sleep apnea actually does - your brain keeps jolting you awake because no oxygen = no life. So you never get into deep or REM sleep, which means you wake up exhausted even though you "slept" 8 hours.

And here's the perimenopause connection nobody talks about: declining estrogen affects muscle tone in your airway, making sleep apnea MORE common now.

5 signs you should talk to your doctor about sleep apnea + the full sleep toolkit in this week's episode 🎧

Wait - you're telling me my morning coffee could be sabotaging my sleep 12 hours later? 😳

Most of us are doing caffeine timing all wrong. And if you're caffeinating the second your feet hit the floor, you're actually working against your body's natural cortisol rise.

Here's what actually works (and when to cut yourself off based on YOUR body, not some generic rule).
