Some days are challenging with perimenopause, amiright?

03/19/2026

Did you heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States?

And according to the American Heart Association, it's on the rise, especially for younger women.

What's driving this increase? Higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and overall unhealthy lifestyles.

And here's the thing: heart disease may show up differently for women than for men.

Women are much more likely to have atypical heart attack symptoms, such as indigestion, shortness of breath, and back pain, sometimes even in the absence of obvious chest discomfort.

And emerging research suggests that women may be at a greater risk of cardiovascular problems at lower blood pressures than men, even in the range currently considered healthy.

Here's what I want you to know: these are projections based on current trends. They're not inevitable.

That means prioritizing the basics now:

- Managing blood pressure and blood sugar

- Building sustainable movement into your life

- Eating in a way that supports your metabolic health

- Addressing sleep and stress

- Getting regular screenings and advocating for yourself with your doctor

- Knowing that symptoms might look different for you than what you see on TV or read about for men

Your heart health in perimenopause and beyond matters! Are you prioritizing your heart health? What changes have you made? Let's talk about it.

You might expect me to say salmon, leafy greens, or berries...and yes, I eat those regularly. But here are 5 foods that make it onto my plate nearly every day as an RD focused on perimenopause and longevity.

Prunes:

Yes, really. I know we think of them to help our gut, but surprisingly, prunes might be one of the best foods for our bones. Several studies have linked daily prune consumption to improved bone health.

Probiotic-Rich Foods:

Yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut...I rotate through them. Your gut microbiome influences everything: hormone balance, mood, inflammation, immune function. Your gut changes with age and with menopause, but it’s foundational for good health.

Walnuts:

These are my go-tos for plant-based omega-3s that support brain and heart health. Research also shows that eating walnuts daily may help reduce the risk of breast and colorectal cancer, and they're a great precursor to the longevity nutrient Urolithin A.

Broccoli Sprouts:

Tiny but mighty. Broccoli sprouts are one of the richest sources of sulforaphane, a compound that supports detoxification, reduces inflammation, and protects cells from oxidative stress. I add them to salads, sandwiches, or smoothies almost every day.

Dark Chocolate:

This is non-negotiable. Dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) is rich in magnesium (which most of us need more of) and contains theobromine, a little-known molecule that supports energy and cardiovascular health. Research has even linked dark chocolate consumption to a lower biological age. But mostly? It brings me joy.

For many women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and GLP-1s can be life-changing during midlife.

But here’s the truth: HRT and GLP-1s can’t do all the heavy lifting on their own.

Without the foundation of lifestyle like nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, the benefits will only go so far. And when it comes to GLP-1s specifically, good nutrition isn't just helpful, it's critical. Without adequate protein and nutrient-dense foods, you risk muscle loss, vitamin deficiencies, and metabolic consequences that can undermine your long-term health.

When working with your provider, ask the important questions about nutrition, exercise, and other ways to support your body during this process.

Are you using HRT or GLP-1s? What changes have helped you feel better in midlife? Tell me in the comments!

Hi there, I'm Jen. I'd love to re-introduce myself!

My wellness philosophy stems from the belief that food is a powerful healer, with each meal providing an opportunity to support your optimal health. 🍎

Are you one of the 3 out of 4?

A 2024 survey of over 2,000 women age 40-64 by Bonafide revealed that:

✅ 36% of respondents said they received conflicting medical advice from healthcare providers about how to manage their symptoms.

✅ 24% still felt like their symptoms weren’t taken seriously.

I believe this stems from a major gap in menopause education and support among providers. And it highlights why it's so important for women to advocate for themselves, seek out menopause-trained practitioners, and rely on trustworthy, evidence-based resources.

The good news? Times are changing.

I am here to share vetted, evidence-based information so you can advocate for yourself as you navigate perimenopause and menopause with your healthcare provider.

How cool is this?

The publication F**t Insider last year wrote about the surge in women incorporating weight training into their fitness routines.

Here is what they found:

Planet Fitness is swapping out a good chunk of their cardio machines to make space for weight training. And the Crunch Fitness CEO recently said that women now account for 50% of the lifting platform.

What does weight training do for us women, especially as we enter midlife or our perimenopause era?

F**t Insider said, “More than aesthetics, resistance training is essential for aging well, boosting bone density, preserving muscle, and improving metabolic health.”

I love seeing this! So tell me, have you incorporated more weights into your routine? How is it going so far? How do you feel?

You are doing everythingggggg right: eating the protein and fiber, drinking all the water, exercising. But yet, you are still experiencing symptoms and your doc says everything looks normal.

One reason is some women just don’t know what questions to ask their doctor to get the help they need. You shouldn’t be struggling with symptoms and not getting solutions.

That ends today. I created a free download for you, “5 Essential Questions to Ask Your Doctor” so you are prepared for your next visit.

Studies show that up to 80% of resolutions are abandoned by February.

There’s so much noise right now about how to better yourself or hit the reset button, plus all the recent news is heavy on the heart.

But what if, instead, we focused our energy on appreciating what we already have and everything that we’ve accomplished in the past year?

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m all for growth. I love setting intentions and meaningful goals. But real, lasting change doesn’t come from “new year, new me” energy. It comes from consistency, self-compassion, and small, steady shifts over time.

So how about it - let’s skip the pressure to create resolutions for ourselves. Instead, this February pick a goal that feel intentional, achievable, and kind to yourself. More tuning in. Less measuring up.

What do you think?
