body & brain
The health of your body and brain is deeply influenced by your dietary choices. The nutrients you consume are crucial to enhancing your health and wellbeing, enabling you to thrive.The hormonal changes associated with the menopause transition exert a powerful influence on the body, altering your metabolism, causing weight gain, and disrupting digestion. As if that was not enough, these hormonal changes also have an adverse effect on a woman's heart, brain, and bone health.The good news is that you can do something about all of this. If you are ready to stop following restrictive diets and false food ideologies and start embracing food, diet and nutrition as a means of building resilience, nourishing your body and reinvigorating your brain as you navigate this turbulent time, then The Nourished Plate is for you!

prioritising yourself
Allostatic load represents the ‘wear and tear’ of chronic stress on the body and brain, it is the price we pay for adapting to stress. While short term stress can be beneficial, helping to focus the body and mind, long term stress is detrimental and can contribute to increased vulnerability to disease.Women of Colour are particularly susceptible due to being repeatedly pushed into a fight-or-flight state by prejudice, marginalisation, institutional bias and the relentlessness of life in a Western economy. Correspondingly, research shows that black women reach menopause earlier and have worse symptoms such as hot flashes, depression and sleep disturbances, and are less likely to receive hormone therapy or medical and mental health services than white women.The expectation for black women to be caretakers for families, a team player at work, nurturing everyone but themselves, comes at a very high price to our health and wellbeing. The menopause transition is the perfect time to start reclaiming your time and prioritising your health. After all, you cannot pour from an empty cup.
