I’ve been thinking more about something that comes up often in conversations with women in perimenopause and menopause. Sleep and stress are usually framed as problems to fix. Fix your sleep. But what if we looked at them differently? What if supporting your sleep and calming your nervous system were less about fixing what’s broken—and more about protecting what matters?

Hi Reader, When I first started learning how food impacts hormone balance, I thought I had to completely overhaul my kitchen—and my life. Not so. Hormone-smart eating doesn’t have to be complicated, I promise. Some of the most powerful changes I’ve made came from simple shifts: Adding protein to breakfast instead of reaching for a muffin or just coffee Swapping processed snacks for real, whole food alternatives Making sure I get healthy fats like avocado or olive oil with lunch or dinner...
