Chaos to Calm

How I feed my family as The Perimenopause Naturopath


Listen Later

Think eating well means cooking one meal for your family and something different for yourself? That’s a recipe for burnout.

If you’ve ever found yourself making one meal for your family and something completely different for yourself, just so you can eat “healthy,” this episode is going to change the way you think about food.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
•How to make one meal work for everyone - without being a short-order cook, without food battles, and without feeling like you’re eating salads on your own, 24/7 and missing out on yummy meals.
•How I handle picky eaters and sensory preferences (including what’s worked in my neurodivergent household).
•How to set up simple food systems - from meal planning to getting kids in the kitchen - so that dinner time feels easier, not harder.

SNEAK PEEK:
“There’s this idea that if you want to eat well - to support your hormones, balance blood sugar, and avoid creeping weight gain - you end up eating salads alone while your kids get their usual spag bol. That’s NOT how I do things.”

Eating well in perimenopause should fit into your life - not take it over. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I make this work for my family (without stress or extra effort) and how you can do the same.

Hit play now to learn how you can eat in a way that supports your hormones, energy, and metabolism - without making separate meals or spending hours in the kitchen.
