"Gah, it's so hard to get my nutrition right these days," Laurie said. "I'm trying to add in more fiber, get enough protein, eat more foods with omega-3s…all the things! But then I just get overwhelmed and I don't do any of it." "Why does nutrition have to be so difficult?" Whoa. That last comment stopped me. Nutrition being difficult is THE LAST thing I want for any woman over 40. Remember. Food should be easy. "Show up. Think about it (but not too hard). And give a shit." - The Bike Guy Hi Reader, Here's a cheat sheet I created to help make eating during menopause easy. It includes all the ingredients for midlife we've been talking about this month.

I'd love to help you brainstorm a meal map that works for you. Before the season of sweets officially kicks off this weekend... Listen to this 11-ish minute clip.

Confession time, Reader. I used to have a lustful affair with food. My 20s were fraught with food rules and conditions. My healthy eating habits were more about not eating and less about health. During the holidays, I gave myself seasonal permission to eat chocolate, baked goods, and other high-calorie foods sworn off-limits for the rest of the year. From Thanksgiving to New Year's, I'd sneak chocolate toffee bars (recipe below), mini-pecan pies, and chocolate peanut butter balls. I ate...
Did you see the picture from Thanksgiving on Facebook, Reader? How did it make you feel about your body? On a recent call with the Midlife Feast Community, we talked about ways to support self-care and negative body image moments during the holidays. Movement and the mindset are at the top of the list for many Featers. Finding fun ways to move your body this season is a great way to help decrease stress and the critical body image voice. But what if it’s difficult to get in exercise due to...
Hey, how was your Thanksgiving Reader? "That's a loaded question," said Liz at the start of our session this week. "What happened?" I asked "I hit a deer on the way to my sister's for the holiday - well, almost hit the deer. I swerved to avoid it, skidded through a ditch, and took out a farmer's fence in the process." "Whoa!
