As a 40+ (okay, 50+) woman in menopause, these are the habits I prioritize to keep my metabolism working, anxiety lower, and weight regulated — without “dieting.” Just physiology 👇
✨ Morning light + blue light blockers at night to support cortisol, sleep, and blood sugar regulation
💧 Consistent hydration (chronically under-hydrated bodies are stressed bodies and often crave sugar)
🍫 Less sugar + ultra-processed foods = improved insulin sensitivity + less inflammation
🍳 Stop counting calories, start nourishing (protein, fiber, fats — yes, at every meal)
🏋️♀️ Strength/resistance training + mobility 3–4x/week (muscle = metabolic health post-40)
Don’t look for the quick fixes. These need to be consistent simple practices that will change how your body responds in perimenopause and beyond.
Which one are you missing right now? 👇I’d love to know. ❤️
