Have you been: - Walking into rooms with zero clue why you're there? - Mixing up dates or forgetting simple things? - Feeling like your brain is stuck in molasses some days? That’s not just aging.That’s inflammation in perimenopause—and it’s not permanent. We can reverse it. Inside UNSTUCK, we treat food as medicine to address the big four root causes of midlife symptoms: ✨ Gut health✨ Inflammation✨ Insulin resistance✨ Cortisol dysregulation These systems are deeply connected to your mood, focus, memory, energy, and weight. When inflammation is high, your brain and body stay stuck in survival mode.When you calm inflammation, the fog begins to lift. 🌤️ So What Do We Do Instead? We focus on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods that help your body rebalance from the inside out. We follow the 30/30/30 Method, and here’s how that looks in action 👇 1. 🌿 Choose Anti-Inflammatory Foods Chronic inflammation drives brain fog, bloating, stubborn weight, and hormonal chaos.Start crowding your plate with: - Leafy greens - Berries - Salmon - Olive oil - Turmeric - Flaxseed - Sweet potatoes - green tea ✨ If it grew out of the ground or had a mother, it probably belongs on your plate. 2. 🍳 Prioritize Protein at Every Meal Protein helps stabilize your blood sugar, reduce cravings, preserve muscle, and keep you full. 🎯 Goal: 30g of protein per meal Not sure how to measure? Use your palm! A 30g portion of a high protein food source is roughly the size and thickness of your palm. 3. 🌾 Add Fiber-Rich Foods Daily Fiber = your gut health and hormone helper. It helps move things through, balance estrogen, and feed good gut bacteria. 🎯 Goal: 30g of fiber per dayTry: chia seeds, lentils, oats, leafy greens, berries, broccoli, flax, quinoa or even psyllium husks can help boost fiber 4. 💧 Hydrate Like It’s Your Job Hormonal shifts can mess with hydration levels, even when you think you’re drinking enough. 🎯 Aim for 2–3L/day, more if you’re exercising.Add lemon, lime, cucumber, berries, or mint for flavor.A pinch of sea salt or clean electrolytes helps too.

Okay, friends—confession time 🙋‍♀️. The other day I caught myself obsessing over a random chin hair in the car mirror (why can't I think of anything else when those buggers show up?). It made me laugh, but it also reminded me of something bigger: how many of us feel like our bodies are doing things we don’t recognize anymore. The truth? That chin hair, the 3pm crashes, the mood swings, the brain fog—they’re all part of what I call the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause. And trust me - I tried to wait it out. I tried to willpower my way through it. I tried to medicate it away....and guess what? None of that works. I'm here to tell you that yes - everything you're experiencing is oh-so-very-real. And also? It's not permanent. Read that again. Here's what I've learned. If you do not address these symptoms, they will not go away on their own. But more importantly, they will lead to worsening health over the long term. That’s why I put together my Perimenopause Playbook. It’s a quick guide with practical ways I teach my client on how to steady your energy, reduce cravings, and feel more like you again—without extreme diets or expensive supplements. I'll leave this here for you: one of my favourite tips from the Playbook:💡 Never eat naked carbs. Always eat protein + fiber before carbs. It’s such a simple shift, but it can reduce those blood sugar spikes that leave you foggy, cranky, and craving sugar. Let us know if this makes sense. And if you want my high protein snack guide, leave a comment below and I'll send it to you. That way, you'll never eat another 'naked carb' again! ;-)

The menopause transition has a way of shaking up your life in ways you don’t expect. For me, it wasn’t just about the hot flashes or the brain fog—it was the overwhelming sense of losing myself. I didn’t feel like the person I once was. Some people choose not to take HRT. Other cannot. After researching my options, I made the personal decision to go on HRT, and I want to share my experience in hopes that it might help you feel less alone in your own journey.... First, let me say this: deciding whether or not to take HRT is deeply personal. Every woman’s menopause experience is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. For me, HRT offered the opportunity to address some of the acute physical and emotional symptoms I was facing, including mood swings, sleepless nights, anxiety, and debilitating fatigue. My symptoms came on suddenly and severely at a time when no one else in my circle could relate to what was happening to me. Taking the HRT immediately offered relief. This is important: The WHI (Women's Health Institute ) Study released in 2002 was debunked for many reasons. It suggested that there was increased risk with cancer and HRT but as it turns out, it was a skewed study. Here is more. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963523/ That said, HRT wasn’t a cure-all. While it immediately softened many of the intense symptoms I was dealing with, it wasn’t until I committed to a consistent routine of healthy eating, stress management, exercise, and sleep hygiene that I began to feel like myself again. HRT gave me the relief I needed to start building those habits, but the real transformation came from addressing my overall lifestyle. Women's studies have been severely neglected. I personally believe menopausal women are still one of the most underserved communities in our medical system. Here is a great article from Time magazine that may shock you.

Hi friends 💛 I just wrapped a whirlwind week—fundraisers, galas, and a very competitive charity pickleball tournament. It was fun... but it left me completely wiped. (and left me with a strained groin muscle - it's true what they say - pickleball is a dangerous sport! lol) And once again, I was reminded: There is no substitute for a good night's sleep. When we're sleep-deprived, it's not just about feeling tired. It triggers a domino effect: 1. Higher cortisol → more belly fat + burnout 2. Increased hunger + cravings → harder to eat intuitively 3. Poor blood sugar regulation → energy crashes + insulin resistance + weight gain 4. Disrupted hormone production → mood swings + low resilience So if you've been blaming yourself for low motivation, weight gain, or just feeling "off" lately—your body might just be begging for rest. I'm sharing my Sleep + Stress Guide in the group today with real, doable strategies to support your nervous system, balance your hormones, and actually get restful sleep. You're going to love some of the strategies. 🗂️ The Perimenopause Sleep & Stress Guide And if sleep has been a struggle (and you're tired of trying to figure it out alone)... let me tell you about UNSTUCK, my new group coaching program. This is my first time offering a group program. But after having so many conversations with women like you, I realized we need this—a place to come together, learn, actually implement what we're learning, and be surrounded by women who get it. Who can support, motivate, and share the real stuff. Since this is the beta round, I'm offering it at a really reduced rate. 🎉 6 weeks of: Sustainable strategy (You'll get a step-by-step daily protocol) Accountability (weekly group calls and private members area) Hormone-supporting nutrition + sleep tools (weekly meal plans and prep schedules) Connection with other women in the same season of life
