🍣 Macros get a lot of attention in midlife.Protein. Carbs. Fat. And yes—I care about all of them.

🌱But micronutrients are where so much of the magic happens.

Our cells need vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and thousands of plant compounds to make energy, protect themselves from oxidative stress, build and repair tissue, support our hormones, and keep us feeling good as we age. 

And then there’s the microbiome, which impacts, well, everything from blood sugar, to inflammation, to hormones, sleep, and metabolism.

🌀One of the simplest ways I support my body is by eating a wide variety of plant foods, fibers, seeds, herbs, and spices- I call them booster foods. 

So this little summer breakfast packs A LOT of booster foods into one bowl:
Pumpkin seeds
Sunflower seeds
Ground flax
H**p seeds
Chia seeds
Almond milk
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Plus cardamom, which gives it the BEST little twist.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean obsessing over every number. But it is about simple ways to load in goodness your body needs. 

These are exactly the kinds of tricks and everyday habits I teach in my Midlife Nutrition Module—so you can understand what your changing body needs, AND have the tools to  make it easy

See you there!

🌀I think something bigger than hormones is happening in midlife.

Women are understanding their bodies.

Questioning old expectations.

Trusting themselves.

Taking up more space.

Giving fewer fvcks.

🌀What happens when millions of women do that at the same time?

I think we’re about to find out.

If this resonates, send it to a woman who needs to see it — and tell me: do you feel it happening too?

Messy and imperfect but here we go!

😎Save this one for later! You will thank me

Besides being insanely delicious….

Many of the symptoms we experience in midlife come from changes in blood sugar and insulin sensitivity with changing hormones.

Having a bomber lunch that helps us balance blood sugar, burn fat, reduce inflammation, and build muscle helps make everything else works better!!
Mood
Sleep
Energy
Stoke around growing older

🌀This is exactly my jam

I originally got this recipe from Baked by Melissa - whom I LOVE

I changed a few things and made it easier because I often don’t have time to cook chicken

But I kept her insane flavor and the basics

✅Recipe
(Makes About 3 lunches)
-3 12.5oz cans of chicken
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- juice from 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tsp caper juice
- 2 garlic cloves
-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup basil leaves (or any herbs)
-4 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Blend all but chicken until smooth’ish
Dump chicken in bowl
Pour dressing on and stir

Enjoy on a colorful salad, sandwich, with seed crackers, lettuce wraps, etc.
I like adding sprouts and sauerkraut on top too!!
Store extra in fridge

You could use grilled or rotisserie chicken too!!

It’s So GOOD 😊

☕️ Keeping it real and AI-free here 🤣

Instagram perfect
Vs
Midlife Reality 🤣

Literally peeing in our pants laughing 😂 😳😬😎

But honestly, these are the moments that remind me why it matters to actually do the things that support our changing bodies.

In this case?
Pelvic estrogen + doing the Buff M**f with Kim Vopni 💪😂 + keeping inflammation low + lmfao

Because menopause changes are real.

We can support our bodies AND laugh our asses off along the way.

Keep laughing.
Keep taking care of yourself as things shift.

🌀We want to rush to fix it

But this midlife sh*t is messy

The one thing I know from working with thousands of midlife women is this takes
time,
space, &
grace

Laughter helps too

We got this- body and soul

🌀If you want to still be hiking, skiing, traveling, lifting, playing, and doing the things you love for decades to come… this one is for you. 💪🦴

Our August Tea & Talk is all about Strong Bones + Happy Joints in Midlife.

PT Kerry Nowlin is my cohost this month and will be sharing the movements we should be doing NOW to keep our bones strong and joints mobile so we stay injury free and resilient.

Bone and joint health isn’t just about preventing osteoporosis or dealing with pain someday.

It’s about staying injury free.
Staying active.
And continuing to do the things that make life fun.

But we need to be proactive as hormones change.

Come hang out with us, learn a few things, ask questions, and leave with practical ideas you can actually use.

🤣 Yes this is official advice as a nutritionist.

Bigger is better!

I like big bowls and I cannot lie

Anyone else??

It’s awful trying to stir your salad when things are falling off the edge

You want to load that bowl up with leafy greens, protein, colorful, vegetables, seeds, healthy fats, olive oil, s&p, lemon juice or vinegar, and nutritional yeast

You don’t want any of that falling over the edges or not getting mixed around

Go big and and thank me later

Size does matter!

🥗And if you’re going to comment that you can’t handle that much fiber - Pause and get curious because that’s your body telling you something is off! (and check out the podcast I’m about to release)

Eat up
