159. Nutrition in the Menopause Transition
In this episode of High on Life, we dive into one of the most common and confusing challenges women face during the Menopause transition: understanding how to nourish their changing bodies.
Registered dietitian and Best Weight coach, Tedi Nikova, RD, MPH, breaks down what’s really happening with hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and insulin—and how these shifts impact hunger, metabolism, and fat distribution.
You’ll learn clear, sustainable strategies for regulating blood sugar, building muscle, and creating balanced meals without cutting out major food groups or falling for social media myths. From practical protein goals to simple meal structure tips and mindset shifts, this episode gives you the tools to work with your body, not against it.
Plus, get a sneak peek of the upcoming Menopause Course with Dr. Sasha High, designed to help women feel strong, informed, and empowered through midlife and beyond.
