I know the thought has crossed your mind...

You’ve noticed that alcohol hits differently now

• the restless nights,
• the sudden anxiety spikes,
• the sluggish mornings.

Or maybe you just don’t bounce back like you used to.

Yet, giving it up? That feels like a big step.

Because for years, alcohol has been a reward, a social norm, a way to unwind.

After 40, alcohol is secretly working against you. The friend you once knew has gone and in her place is vindictive B, ...

Why You Need Protein for Breakfast in Perimenopause (And How It Changes Everything)

Skipping Protein in the Morning? Here’s Why That’s a Big Mistake

If you’re in perimenopause, what you eat in the morning can set the tone for your entire day—impacting your energy, cravings, metabolism, and even how your bo...

I have never—not once—in my 20 years as a nutritionist—told a client to count calories. And I never will.

Let me tell you why.

I’m talking to you—the one who feels like something is off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Maybe you’re waking at 3 a.m., experiencing tingly skin, or noticing more hair in the shower drain. You’re wondering if you might be entering perimenopause, but surely you’re too young… right?

Your periods are still showing up month after month, so it couldn’t be that.

Or maybe you’ve noticed your clothes feel tighter, your mood swings are unpredictable, and that one glass of wine now feels ...

You’re Not Feeling Like Yourself…

Moments of brain fog. Snapping at loved ones over something small. Watching yourself have a meltdown and thinking, "Who even is this person?"

Your emotions are running the show, and you don’t know how to get off the train. One moment, you’re managing just fine, and the next, you’re overwhelmed, irritable, or inexplicably sad.

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or early 50s, and these feelings seem to come out of nowhere, they might not be "just stress"—they could be...

But here’s the thing: just like a toolbox full of tools, the right supplement is only effective when you know what you need. Imagine trying to fix a leaking pipe with a hammer—you wouldn’t do that, right? The same goes for choosing supplements. So, what’s the missing ingredient?

It’s simple: start with your needs.

We often fall into the trap of choos...

Have you ever been the “good girl” all week, only to find yourself yearning for chocolate when your period is just around the corner? You’d brave a downpour just to get your hands on some cocoa goodness!

Before you start trash-talking yourself, let me assure you—it’s not all your fault. You’re not to blame, but you can do something about it.
