menopause transition

If there were a way of eating built for midlife, this would be it. The Mediterranean pattern isn’t a diet, it’s a steady, realistic way to support heart health, insulin sensitivity, bone strength, and brain function as estrogen declines. Think plants first, olive oil daily, seafood often, and food you actually enjoy. No tracking. No extremes. Just a plate that works with your hormones, not against them. It’s sustainable, evidence-based, and meant to last.

The menopause transition is more than hot flashes—it’s a hormonal rollercoaster that can impact mood and mental health. Research shows women are at higher risk for depression during this time, especially if they’ve had it before, struggle with sleep, anxiety, or big life stressors. The good news? With screening, lifestyle support, therapy, and sometimes hormones or medication, you don’t have to navigate this window of vulnerability alone.
