Many of us walk into our menopause journey blindly—and it’s not until things like out of the ordinary stress, ADHD-like symptoms when it comes to your ability to focus and concentrate, and seemingly overnight weight gain, that we scramble for control and often realize that our usual go-to tips and tricks don’t work like they used to. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, certain diet and exercise approaches can help greatly. In today’s episode, we’re bringing back a favorite guest—Jenna Braddock who is a registered dietitian and menopause expert. With her, we delve into the science of perimenopause and menopause and explore straightforward nutritional and lifestyle approaches, like how much protein do you need? How can you hit that target? What type of physical activity is the most effective to get rid of that belly fat? Best of all, since each of us is going through perimenopause, we share our personal experiences about what’s worked for us—and what hasn’t.
This episode was developed in partnership with/in collaboration with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff.
