Registered dietitian nutritionist Maya Feller joins me for a grounded, practical conversation about what actually matters when it comes to food during the perimenopause and menopause years — and what absolutely does not.
Because by this stage of life, most women are done with extreme rules, cutting out entire food groups, and trying to follow plans that don’t remotely fit their real lives.
Maya brings clarity back to the table.
We talk about the metabolic shifts happening beneath the surface and how everyday eating patterns quietly shape blood sugar, cholesterol, heart health, muscle mass, and long-term wellbeing.
What I loved most about this conversation is Maya’s approach: no shame, no rigidity — just sustainable habits that support the life you’re actually living.
The small daily habits that impact metabolic health
Carbs: why they aren’t the enemy
How much protein women really need (and when more isn’t better)
The growing importance of fiber for heart health
Added sugar — why it’s everywhere and how to navigate it
Cultural and comfort foods — and why they belong on your plate
Simple ways to reset your eating habits without blowing up your life
And don’t miss the end — Maya walks us through one of the most practical strategies we’ve ever discussed on the show: how to audit your pantry, fridge, and freezer so quick meals become both nourishing and genuinely delicious.
