Some women who have a baby in their late 30s or early 40s may already be in perimenopause when they get pregnant. For others, it’s just around the corner after giving birth. Your hormones don’t follow a straight line, and postpartum + perimenopause can overlap in ways that feel confusing, exhausting, and unexpected. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. If you're navigating symptoms that don’t make sense, support is available, and you deserve care that actually listens.

You want inflammation to function properly when you have an injury or illness, and as you recover, you want it to subside. However, the modern world, with inflammatory inputs such as processed food, stress, and toxins, influences the inflammatory process and its ability to shut off.

Chronic inflammation drives women’s health issues from period pain to chronic diseases. Learn more in our new article about inflammation and what’s in your control to cool the inflammation in your own body.

As women have babies in their late 30s and early 40s, the postpartum period may coincide with the onset of perimenopause. Additionally, postpartum symptoms associated with low levels of estrogen and progesterone can look a lot like perimenopausal symptoms, especially the period closer to menopause when hormones are low.

The good news is that you don’t need one health plan for postpartum and another for perimenopause; you need the support that’s right for you. Discover the overlap between postpartum and perimenopause, and explore the integrative approaches we utilize at TārāMD in our latest article.

You can lower inflammation by addressing your contributing factors, and no, it doesn’t require an extreme overhaul. Small, consistent changes in nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and environment can make a measurable difference in how your body feels and functions. Your symptoms aren’t random. Your body isn’t working against you. And you have more influence over inflammation than you may realize. Read more of our blog by following https://www.taramd.com/post/how-to-calm-inflammation

Your body is designed to digest food when the nervous system is in its relaxed, parasympathetic state. This state is also known as “rest and digest,” and the body redirects blood and resources to the digestive system.

When you eat under stress, in the sympathetic nervous system state, the body can’t prioritize digestion in the same way. Think about it this way: if you’re running from a tiger, your body needs to send blood flow and energy to the extremities; it’s not the best time to digest and assimilate food.

Many of us are in the habit of eating while multitasking, distracted, or stressed, which isn’t the optimal state for digestion and can cause digestive discomfort and symptoms. A simple (but not always easy) first step for improving digestive health is slowing down with eating, introducing mindfulness, and getting into the ideal parasympathetic state. One strategy is to take several intentional deep breaths before eating to engage the “rest and digest” signals.

In perimenopause, ovarian aging accelerates, and inflammation rises. These shifts can influence everything from mood and metabolism to sleep, cycles, and how your body handles stress. If you’ve felt “off” in ways you can’t explain, there’s a physiological reason. Understanding what’s happening beneath the surface helps you support your body with the nutrition, lifestyle, and hormone-aware tools it needs during this transition.

Protein provides the building blocks for your body, and unlike fat and carbohydrates (glucose), it’s not stored. If your body isn’t getting enough protein from your diet, it must break down muscle. Losing muscle isn’t good for your metabolism and long-term health.

Getting enough protein in the day requires prioritizing it with each balanced meal and snack. Unsure how much you need each day and with each meal? Our TārāMD nutritionists can help you with a personalized approach to protein (and the rest of your diet), supporting your health goals, lifestyle, and preferences.

One-Pot Roasted Herb & Lemon Chicken Over Potatoes
If this looks complicated… it’s not. 🙌

This one-pot roasted herb + lemon chicken is the kind of meal that makes you look like you spent hours in the kitchen — when really, the oven does all the work. It’s nourishing, balanced, and hormone-friendly (hello protein + minerals!). Plus the flavors are unreal. The chicken stays juicy, the potatoes soak up all those drippings, and the herbs + lemon make the whole house smell like heaven.

Save this one for busy nights or when you want to impress without the effort.

Ingredients:
- 1 whole pasture-raised chicken

- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

- 1 onion, thick slices

- 6–8 garlic cloves, smashed

- 1 lemon, juice, and sliced

- Olive oil

- Fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary

- Salt + black pepper

- ¼ cup chicken broth

Instructions:
Prep the base: Add potatoes, onion, and garlic to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt + pepper, and toss. Pour in ¼ cup chicken broth.

Add the chicken: Place the pasture-raised chicken right on top of the potatoes. Pat dry, drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and season generously with salt + pepper. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top. Rub seasoning into the chicken.

Herb + lemon magic: Tuck fresh thyme, rosemary, sage, and lemon into the chicken.

Roast: Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F and continue roasting for 60–75 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F.

Rest + serve: Let it rest 10 minutes before carving so the juices redistribute. Spoon those herby drippings over everything.

When you meet with your OBGYN or other healthcare provider, it’s helpful to bring along a symptom log. When you are in the appointment, you may forget about the symptoms you had a couple of weeks ago or how bad your PMS has been recently. Tracking your symptoms helps you be prepared for appointments, allowing you to convey your pain points and you’re your symptoms have changed over time.

If you are still cycling, tracking symptoms in conjunction with your menstrual cycle is particularly helpful. Do you see any patterns with symptoms and the menstrual phase? For example, you’ll be able to distinguish if sleep is bad all the time or just during the luteal phase (second half of the menstrual cycle).

Track on paper, a calendar, or add symptoms to a cycle tracking app.
