In this episode of the Find Your Food Voice podcast, host Julie Duffy Dillon and guest Jenn Salib Huber discuss the complexities of midlife body changes, the impact of diet culture, and the importance of self-compassion and community support during the transition of menopause and midlife. They explore the emotional aspects of aging, including grief and acceptance, and emphasize the need for a positive relationship with food and body image. Jenn shares insights from her upcoming book, 'Eat to Thrive During Menopause,' which combines intuitive eating principles with practical nutrition advice for women navigating menopause.
