Working with a dietitian nutritionist for perimenopause is less about following a rigid diet and more about understanding what your body is asking for during a major hormonal transition. Perimenopause can feel confusing because the “rules” that used to work for your body suddenly don’t seem to apply anymore. Maybe your energy crashes harder, your sleep feels off, your body composition is changing, or you’re gaining weight despite not doing anything differently.

Working with a dietitian for weight loss is very different from following a generic diet you found online- and if you’re a woman over 40 navigating perimenopause or menopause, that difference matters more than ever.
