Eat the avocado!

Healthy fats are ESSENTIAL to your perimenopause diet.

Healthy fats like those found in avocado help in functions like absorbing vitamins A, D, E, and K.

They stabilize blood sugar, reduce hunger, and combat inflammation!

Healthy fats keep your joints moving, improve skin, and reduce "bad" cholesterol.

Mash avocado with tuna for a refreshing tuna salad, or add to black beans for a delicious burrito filling!

What's your favorite way to eat avocado?

Fasting is skipping breakfast with a fancy name.

Your body has already been fasting for at least 8 to 10 hours by the time you wake up, since most of us don’t eat dinner right before going to bed. If you wake up hungry, eat breakfast.

Choose a quick, easy option with protein, fat, and carbs. Pick something satisfying that fits your dietary preferences and lifestyle, and don’t sweat it. Eating breakfast can reduce cravings and provide the energy you need.

Throw the scale in the trash!

Weight is only one metric of health, and not the most important one.

Are you:
Feeling stronger?
Lowering your blood pressure?
Doing strength training?
Paying attention to your cholesterol and blood sugar?
Staying flexible?

Support your health goals with gentle nutrition. It’s about progress, not perfection!

The person you will be in 10 years starts today. ⏰

Let that sink in. If you're 50, you'll be 60 in 10 years. What do you want a 60-year-old you to be able to do? Get herself up off the floor effortlessly, carry groceries and grandkids, walk confidently up and down stairs and hillsides?

If working out to look better no longer appeals, think about working out to live better. I would rather not do strength training, I admit it, but when I picture myself at 60, 70, 80, or older, I want to be as independent and strong as I can be.

How about you? What can you do today to make your future self’s life better?
