|
What if there were a recipe for thriving in menopause? Would you use it, Reader? A recipe you can make on any crazy, busy day to help you feel less like you're on the menopause struggle bus. "I just need an easy recipe," Jenn said as we sat on logs eating our overnight oats on a recent backpacking trip. Jenn struggled to find the right combination of food to fuel our outdoor adventures without offending her sensitive late-40s digestive tract.

Not only did Jenn have more sustained energy for our hikes and off-trail scrambles, but she also started to gain confidence in making backcountry meals from scratch. Winning!

"Gah! Why am I feeling like this?" I thought as I stabbed my hiking poles into the trail with each step, desperately trying to keep up with my friends.
