STOP SURVIVING. EAT TO THRIVE. Menopause Nutrition w/ Dr. Jenn Huber (ND, RD)


Listen Later

Feeling lost, confused, and frustrated by your body in midlife? Host Andrea Van Niekerk sits down with the uniquely qualified Dr. Jenn Huber—a Naturopathic Doctor AND Registered Dietitian—to cut through the noise on menopause nutrition, energy, and body change.


Dr. Huber shares her personal journey, revealing that when Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) didn't provide relief, she developed a science-backed, compassionate approach to managing severe symptoms. She offers a roadmap to help you regain agency and energy.


In this episode, you will learn:

  • Dr. Huber's Breakthrough: How she used phytoestrogens to dramatically reduce hot flashes after finding no relief with HRT.
  • The optimal protein target for women over 50 (1.0 to 1.2 grams per kilogram) and why it's crucial.
  • The actual physiological reason behind brain fog and anxiety (it’s "rewiring, not retiring"!).
  • Dr. Huber's 5 Key Ingredients for thriving: Soy/Phytoestrogens, Fiber, Protein, Calcium (for bone health), and Omega-3 Fats.
  • Why fatigue and 3 AM waking are not just "part of aging" and how to check for underlying deficiencies.


Guest: Dr. Jenn Huber, Author of Eat to Thrive During Menopause and Host of the Midlife Feast Podcast.
