BEYOND WEIGHT: On Peri-menopause with Dr. Jennifer Salib Huber, ND

Listen Later

Making peace with food, our 40s, and our hot flashes.

It’s the third episode of Beyond Weight - a NEW series that asks the question “how can we manage health concerns without focusing on weight loss, food restriction, and body shame?” and today Jill is speaking with Dr. Jennifer Salib Huber, ND - a dietician and naturopath who strongly believes that women need to come together to normalize the collective experience of peri-menopause, embracing food, our bodies, and mid-life… so that we can live life to the fullest.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The definition of peri-menopause
  • Why so few women understand what’s happening in their own bodies at this point in life
  • Under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis
  • The problem with focusing on belly fat
  • How diet culture has co-opted menopause
  • Why women feel out of control and abnormal
  • How to work WITH your body as you transition through menopause
  • The possibility that the changes in your body have a biological function and intelligence
  • Managing the studies that place unfair blame on body fat
  • New ways to think about and work with peri-menopausal symptoms
