“Our gut health is connected to our hormones, our blood sugar and our metabolic health, and when we understand the science behind how our body works, we realize that feeling good during menopause isn't just about managing the estrogen and the progesterone. It's about figuring out these other pieces.”

–Tess Masters

Did you finally figure out how to eat for your body — and then it stopped working? Or you never figured it out and lately it’s just been bad? If you’re not feeling good in your body, it’s time to do something about it.

That’s why I’m so excited to talk with Tess Masters. She’s my health cheerleader and food guru. She’s helped me uplevel my food again and again.

Our food is a lot more nuanced than we think, but Tess can help you learn what works for you and how to make shifts when that stops.

We talk about:

• How our bodies change as we age, over seasons, as our hormones and medications shift — and our food needs to change with that
• Protein and the problem with too much or not enough
• The changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause
• Paying attention to sleep and stress, noticing how your body reacts to different foods
• 60-day reset for a digestive reset, to go through two hormone cycles, and to turn new ideas into habits
• Finding balance, choosing to stick with foods that make you feel good, and not feeling left out
