Can your lunch comfortably carry you through the afternoon?

A well-built meal should usually leave you satisfied for around four hours, without the foggy head, shaky feeling, energy crash or sudden need to eat everything in sight.

If that keeps happening, I wouldn’t automatically blame your willpower.

I’d look at your plate.

In midlife, we need meals that do more for us — supporting energy, appetite, muscle, metabolic health and long-term cardiovascular health.

And that doesn’t mean restricting the hell out of what you eat.

Quite the opposite.

Often, it’s about making sure there is enough of the right mix of protein, fibre, healthy fats and carbohydrates to actually do the job.

That’s exactly what I’ll be talking about in The Menopause Plate — three simple ways to make your meals work harder for you.

What should you eat in perimenopause and menopause?

Great question but if you do a quick search, you will get a huge amount of different advice, so what do you do?

At Shropshire Menopause Hub, our advice would be: listen to an expert!

Next Thursday evening you will have the opportunity to do just that, from the comfort of your own home, by following the link below - that easy! 13th August 7-8pm.

If I had a pound for every woman who arrived telling me all the foods she'd already cut out, I'd probably be writing this from a beach somewhere.

Bread has gone.

Pasta has gone.

Fruit has become "too sugary."

Potatoes have been banished.

And yet... she still feels tired, hungry, frustrated and convinced she's somehow getting it wrong.

One of the biggest shifts I try to make is moving the conversation away from restriction and towards nourishment.

Instead of asking, *"What should I stop eating?"*

Let's start asking, *"What does my body need more of?"*

It's a much kinder question.

And, in my experience, a much more useful one.

That's the thinking behind **The Menopause Plate**. Not another list of foods to avoid, but practical ways to make your meals support the life you actually want to live.

I'd love you to join me.

One of the biggest myths I see is that eating less automatically means eating better.

Very often, the opposite is true.

Many women arrive convinced they need more discipline, when what they actually need is a plate that better supports their energy, appetite, muscle and long-term health.

That’s why I created The Menopause Plate.

Not to tell you what to cut out.

But to help you understand how to make your meals work harder for you.

No rigid rules.

No one-size-fits-all diet.

Just practical nutrition you can start using straight away.

Food do you love it, but get confused as to what to eat to help you?
Then listen to this.

There’s so much advice about what we should be eating in menopause, isn’t there? What to eat more of, what to avoid, what to cut out completely… it can feel like a full-time job just trying to work out who to believe.

And more information isn’t always the answer. What really matters is understanding whether that advice is relevant to you, how it could help and how to actually use it in everyday life.

I’m Sarah Summers, a registered nutritionist and one of the founders of Shropshire Menopause Hub. I’ve worked with women in menopause for almost a decade, and I’ve been through it myself.

In The Menopause Plate, I’ll share three simple principles that can help support things like energy, sleep, brain fog and hot flushes — and show you how to adapt them to the way you already eat.

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use straight away, and we’ll finish with a live Q&A, so you can ask me anything.
