Mediterranean Diet- Inspired Perimenopausal Eating Guide
Welcome to your next great hormonal adventure!
Remember puberty?
Peri-menopause consists of the 2-10 years preceding menopause (when your period has stopped for 12 months)… basically puberty’s older, wiser, slightly sassier cousin.
And she’s coming whether you’re ready or not- so let’s get prepared together!
Let’s use what’s largely regarded as the world’s healthiest way of eating- the Mediterranean Diet- as our guide. (It’s very similar to the DASH, MIND and flexitarian diets)
It’s less about eating exactly what people along the Mediterranean Sea eat, and eating foods that delight you which align with the premise of the diet-
a strong focus on fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and fish with a moderate consumption of chicken and eggs and limited red meat.
