👑 Eat Like a Queen Through Menopause
…and Beat Fatigue, Weight Gain & Sleepless Nights!
Hey lovely 💜
Feeling a bit “off” lately — tired, foggy, or like your body’s not responding the way it used to?
You’re not imagining it.
Menopause can throw everything from your metabolism to your mood off balance.
But here’s the truth 👉 you have more control than you think.
What you eat (and how you fuel your body) can make all the difference to your energy, sleep, strength, and waistline.
Let’s dive into the essentials 👇

🍽️ Nutrition During Menopause: Fuel Your Midlife Power
Menopause isn’t a time to eat less — it’s a time to fuel smarter 💥
As oestrogen levels drop, your metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density naturally shift.
The good news? The right nutrition can help you feel energised, strong, and balanced every day.
---
💪 1. Prioritise Protein
Protein is your muscle’s best friend — and we lose muscle faster during menopause.
Aim for 20–30g per meal (think Greek yoghurt, eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, cottage cheese, or a scoop of protein powder).
✨ Top Tip: Include protein at breakfast — it balances energy and keeps cravings at bay.
🦴 2. Boost Bone Health
Lower oestrogen = higher risk of bone loss.
Get calcium from dairy, fortified plant milks, or leafy greens, and add vitamin D (especially in the UK!) to help absorption.
☀️ Tip: A few minutes of sunlight helps, but most women over 40 benefit from a vitamin D supplement too.
🌾 3. Focus on Fibre
Fibre keeps digestion happy and supports heart health.
Load up on veggies, berries, beans, lentils, and wholegrains to stay fuller for longer and stabilise blood sugar.
🫐 4. Fight Inflammation
Hot flushes, joint pain, and fatigue can all be fuelled by inflammation.
Add omega-3 fats (salmon, chia seeds, walnuts) and colourful plant foods for antioxidants.
💧 5. Stay Hydrated
Hormonal shifts can mess with your thirst signals — dehydration can worsen fatigue and headaches.
Keep a water bottle handy and sip regularly (herbal teas count too!).
🍫 6. Manage Sugar and Alcohol
Both can amplify mood swings, bloating, and poor sleep.
You don’t have to quit — just cut back and be mindful.
✨ Tip: Swap sugary snacks for protein + fruit (apple with nut butter or Greek yoghurt with berries).

✨ The Takeaway
Nutrition in menopause isn’t about restriction — it’s about supporting your changing body.
Small, consistent tweaks can transform how you feel.
You’ve got one body. Nourish it. Fuel it. And thrive through this chapter — stronger, calmer, and more confident than ever 💫
