Be Well Nutrition Consulting

Be Well Nutrition Consulting I help women during the years of peri/menopause create OPTIMAL HEALTH to live live to the fullest.. But knowing what is right FOR YOU can be difficult.

My Joyful Menopause Plan is based on current science and over 20 years of my experience working with women to reach their health and wellness goals. We live in an extremely challenging environment to maintain great health. And during the years of peri-menopause and menopause the hormone fluctuations can make feeling great even more difficult. What you eat can make you sick and overweight or can make you feel well and maintain a healthy weight. I use food as medicine, help you create a balance in your life, and support you every step of the way to reach your health goals and feel like yourself again.

“I had cheese curds and chicken wings with friends after a hard week of work.” That’s what Gia told me in our call this week.

Not a big deal, one night, one meal, right?

Though Gia told me about it because things had changed.

Before we started working together, that wouldn’t be unusual for her. Her work was very stressful, and decompressing with colleagues was fun and helpful.

But now she was doing things differently.

She packed lunch and nourishing snacks for work. She prepped dinner in advance so after a long work day she could come home and just reheat a tasty meal.

🤸 And the results she was feeling … more energy, feeling less bogged down, losing weight.

So now, after the cheese curds and chicken wings, she really noticed the difference.

She woke up the next morning and felt like she had a hangover (she hadn’t had any alcohol). She felt achy and exhausted.

And she wasn’t a fan. That was normal before and so she didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now having seen how much better she could feel, she didn’t want to feel that way anymore. The work she is putting in, the choices she is making, are worth it.

You don’t have to feel like crap. It seems like I shouldn’t need to say that, but I think that I do.

My experience has been, in over 20 years doing this work, that people don’t realize how much better they could feel.

And when they turn the corner and sleep well, have energy all day long, have normal digestion, and feel confident in how they look … It is worth the time and money spent on eating well and taking good care of you.

Need help figuring it all out, send me a message.

I love this quote (and Michael Pollan’s books). It really says a lot, don’t you think?

I challenge you to look in your cupboard. Is there any food that your grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food?

👉Breakfast cereal bars
👉Non-dairy creamer
👉Veggie straws

Just to name a few possibilities.

And then to read labels when you go to the store. There are many, many food-like items on your grocery store shelves.

Are they nourishing you? Do they provide calories, carbs, protein, fat? Maybe.

But do they provide any nutrition? Maybe they are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Maybe they have added fibers.

But I believe food should be simpler. Instead of creamer, just choose cream. Instead of veggie straws choose veggies. Instead of breakfast bars make a real breakfast.

I know … these things can all be quick and easy, and often cheap.

But what are the costs to you in the future?

How might it disrupt your gut microbiome by eating all the additives and chemicals?

How might it make you crave more sugar and salt because it is so high in these things or in artificial substitutes for these that leave you craving more?

Eat real foods, whole foods, things you can recognize as food. Your body and your brain will thank you with increased energy, a clear head, healthy digestion, and a weight where you feel good.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. But we do have to pay attention.

Hey, incredible women!

In our busy lives, we wear so many hats—caregivers, professionals, friends, and more. We pour our hearts into everyone and everything around us. But in the hustle to care for others, how often do we pause and check in with ourselves?

Self-care isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity. If you want to make an impact in the world, you must first take care of your own health and well-being!

When you prioritize yourself, you not only feel better, but you are even better for those you love and support.

The world needs your unique gifts, but to share them fully, you need to be at your best!

So, I want to ask you—are you ready to feel AMAZING?

Are you ready to invest in yourself so that you can uplift others with the energy and passion you truly have inside?

Prioritize YOU this week! If you need help figuring out how to do that and feel like yourself again, send me a message.

💛 Why cookie-cutter plans fail
💛 The hidden role of estrogen, nutrients & sleep in weight loss

Have you ever noticed how a sugary snack gives you a quick mood boost—then leaves you feeling worse?

If you're in your perimenopause years and dealing with mood swings or low energy, food might be playing a bigger role than you think.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) can hijack your mood. One quick choice you can make is to swap them for whole, nutrient-dense options like nuts or fruit.

Small changes can make a big difference! Ready to feel more balanced? Just try one small thing and notice the results.

Click on the https://bit.ly/3BJ4F5w to go to my podcast. You’ll learn how UPFs impact your mental health, why women in perimenopause are especially vulnerable and simple dietary swaps to boost your mood.

There are a few things you’ve maybe believed were true in order to lose weight during menopause.

➡️ calories in vs calories out is the most important thing

➡️ everyone will have success with the same plan

➡️ if you just eat “healthy” you’ll lose weight

We know today that there is not a one size fits all approach to health or weight loss.

And it’s not as simple as maybe what you’ve been told.

You are unique and reaching your health and weight loss goals will require a plan that is designed for you.

Hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue — they all have roots.
In menopause, the three biggest are:
🌱 Digestion
🔥 Inflammation
💧 Detoxification

When you nourish the roots, the branches — brain fog, insomnia, weight gain — finally start to heal.

It is a lot more complicated than maybe you thought to lose weight and create great health, especially during the years menopause.

When I first started on my journey to good health, more than 30 years ago, I thought if I just ate healthy and didn’t overeat I would feel good, have good health.

But I learned that it wasn’t that easy. “Healthy” wasn’t the simple answer.

It took time to really figure out the root cause of my symptoms. I had ups and downs over the years until I built the foundation of good health. And I still have times when I don’t feel good because I want to pretend I can get away with putting my good habits on the back burner.

I know now that what works changes throughout your life.

I know that you can have a really good diet and still struggle to get to a weight where you feel great.

I know that even without gut symptoms, gut health is so important to overall health.

If you’re waking up between 1–3am, your liver is asking for help.

Eat protein at dinner, skip the late-night wine, and try winding down earlier.

Supporting your liver supports your sleep and menopause symptoms — especially those hot flashes at night.
