26: Your Perimenopause Questions Answered: Food, Weight, HRT + More - The Ovary Club with Alisa Vitti | Lyssna här

Perimenopause brings up a lot of very specific questions. What should I actually be eating? Why am I suddenly gaining weight when I have not changed anything? Should I be fasting? Is HRT enough? And what do I do if symptoms are already showing up hard in my 40s?

In this episode of The Ovary Club, I am answering four real questions women sent me about navigating this stage. I take you inside how I structure my own meals, when I eat carbohydrates, how I fuel strength training, what I pay attention to when weight suddenly becomes harder to manage, and where HRT fits into the bigger picture.

I am also sharing what I am doing personally at 49, because I do not believe women should have to wait until symptoms become unbearable before they start changing how they support their hormones. There is a lot we can pay attention to now, and sometimes the smallest adjustments tell you the most about what your body needs.

What's Discussed:

Q&A 1 | 0:56 What should I eat in perimenopause if I have insulin resistance and strength train?

Q&A 2 | 16:12 Could menopause eventually become optional?

Q&A 3 | 22:45 What can women 45+ do when hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and irregular periods are already showing up?

Q&A 4 | 28:16 Why will the scale not budge at 47 even when I walk daily and eat clean?

Want More of Your Questions Answered?

I had way more perimenopause questions than I could fit into one public episode, so I kept going.

The full Q&A is available exclusively inside The Ovary Club Insiders, where I answer more of your questions about caffeine, dietary fat, legumes and the bean protocol, melatonin, and more.
