342. Menopause Weight Gain Was Her Wake Up Call


Listen Later

See if this sounds familiar? You make pretty good food choices, and eat healthy-ish on and off, but don’t really focus on your nutrition. And then one day you wake up and realize things have changed, and suddenly your body is different. It holds weight differently, and in different places, and you’re battling new things like brain fog.

Julie spent years treating her food choices as an afterthought…eating relatively healthy here and there, but also growing up in the Slim Fast era and constantly battling a major sweet tooth.

It wasn’t until she started going through peri-menopause and put on a few pounds that she realized her nutrition needed a lot more of her attention.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking to Julie Gordon White, the founder and CEO of MenoWell, which creates energy & protein bars specially formulated for women in their menopause journey.

In this conversation, Julie shares her experience with perimenopause and the importance of nutrition during this stage of life. She discusses the symptoms she experienced, including cognitive fog and weight gain, and how these affected her professional life. Julie emphasizes the need to educate oneself about perimenopause and seek support from specialized healthcare providers. She highlights the importance of simplifying nutrition by focusing on whole foods, including protein and vegetables, and how she developed her nutritional bar and the role it plays in providing a convenient and nutritious option for busy women.
