If you’re over 35 and constantly thinking about food by mid-afternoon, this may be one of the most important nutrition shifts you can make.

As estrogen begins to fluctuate in perimenopause, maintaining stable blood sugar becomes even more important.
A high-protein breakfast can help:
✅ Support blood sugar balance
✅ Reduce cravings later in the day
✅ Increase fullness and satisfaction
✅ Support muscle maintenance and healthy ageing
✅ Promote more consistent energy

Aim for 30–40 grams of protein within a few hours of waking and see how your hunger, cravings, and energy respond.

“I eat well all day... then I can’t stop snacking at night.”

Many women in perimenopause blame themselves for evening eating. But often, there’s more going on.

Estrogen helps regulate appetite and insulin sensitivity. When estrogen fluctuates, hunger and fullness signals can become less predictable.

Add skipped meals, stress, poor sleep, or low protein intake, and your body may spend the evening trying to catch up.

✅ Try this:
➡️ Aim for 30–40g of protein at breakfast for the next week and notice how your hunger feels later in the day.

You’re not doing anything wrong, your body may simply be asking for a different kind of support.

Many women don’t talk about this part:
👉 The quiet anticipation of summer… wondering if this is the year things will feel different or harder.

If you’ve struggled in past summers with:
🔹 overeating
🔹 feeling out of control
🔹 starting over again in September
Your body may already be bracing for that.

But this year can look different!

When you understand your hormones, you can support your body before the spiral begins.

Save this and follow along if you want a different experience this summer.

If you’re already thinking things like:
🔹I don’t want to lose control this summer”
🔹”I don’t want to feel like I’m constantly starting over”

You’re not being dramatic, you’re being aware.

For many women in perimenopause, summer brings:
👉 less structure
👉 more social
👉 pressure around food
👉 disrupted sleep and routines

And your body is more sensitive to all of it now.

This week, I’m going to help you understand what’s coming, so you can feel grounded before things spiral.

✨ You don’t need more control this summer. You need support.

It’s not just about food. It’s the constant questioning, the second guessing, the planning, tracking, and guilt.

This is what 28 hours a week looks like in real life. And when your brain is this overloaded, it makes sense that things feel harder, not easier.

You’re not lacking discipline.
You’re mentally drained.

If you’re constantly thinking about food, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because your brain has been trained to track, calculate, anticipate, and negotiate every single food decision.

Over 28 hours a week of mental energy goes into food and body thoughts for many women.

That’s not normal.
That’s not sustainable.
And it’s definitely not your fault.

This week I’m breaking down the invisible mental load of food and how to start freeing yourself from it.
