"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. Use it to make Savor Bowls or easy weeknight meals, satisfying lunches, or balanced brunches! Here's a copy you can download. Use it as a guide to make your own meal maps. Questions? Hit reply. 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. What's scarier than Halloween candy and treats? For me...Justin's brand peanut, cashew, or almond butter cups are my favorite 😋🍫 Have a sweet weekend savoring food and your body! Amanda PS: Check out the latest blog-video where I share the importance of intuitive eating, especially during the holiday season. Learn how to change the narrative around sugar and treats, particularly during Halloween, and how restrictive mindsets can lead to overeating.

Are you taking HRT, Reader? Do you want to take it? Are you a candidate to take it? Just curious while I'm considering my life choices. Menopause is having a moment in the media these days. Thank goodness the silence is finally breaking on this very normal season of life for anyone born with ovaries. Our grandmothers and moms weren’t as lucky – stuck in cultural narratives centered on jokes, shame, and a “just deal with it, you’re being too sensitive” attitude. But what’s missing from today's...
"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. We were only 5 days into a 17-day hike of the John Muir Trail in the NE Sierra Mountains of California. Sure, we were hiking above 7,000 feet most days and carrying 30-pound packs, but I had trained for this all summer! My legs felt great. My heart and lungs were strong. But what was wrong with my head? I felt faint and dizzy even on flat or...
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.
