What if your symptoms around food, fatigue, and frustration during perimenopause weren’t just hormonal, but also deeply rooted in how you relate to food itself?
This week, Jill is joined by Cindy Spratt, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Eating Psychology Counsellor, to explore how disordered eating patterns picked up throughout life can resurface or intensify during midlife.
Together, they unpack what disordered eating really looks like (hint: it's not just a diagnosis), and how women can shift their relationship with food in order to prepare their bodies and minds for the perimenopausal transition.
With warmth and wisdom, Cindy shares practical steps to let go of food guilt, reconnect with your body, and begin nourishing yourself - physically and emotionally.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What disordered eating really means—and why it’s more common than we think
How to tell if your relationship with food is holding you back
The connection between unresolved food issues and perimenopausal symptoms
Why strict plans and perfectionism don’t work in midlife
How to start supporting your body with nourishment instead of punishment
Tips for eating in alignment with your emotions, hormones, and values
Why food freedom is foundational to thriving through perimenopause
