🌿 Hormones + Blood Sugar: Your Secret to Feeling Good💥

Why Blood Sugar Balance Matters in Perimenopause and Beyond!

If you’ve noticed your energy dipping, cravings creeping in, or your weight feeling “stuck” lately, you’re not alone...and it might not be your fault.

One of the biggest factors often overlooked in perimenopause and menopause is blood sugar balance.

 What Happens to Blood Sugar in Midlife

As estrogen and progesterone fluctuate during perimenopause, your body’s ability to manage blood sugar can change too. This can lead to:

• ⚡ Energy crashes in the afternoon

• 🍫 Intense cravings, especially for sweets or carbs

• 😴 Difficulty waking up or staying alert

• ⚖️ Weight gain, particularly around the belly

Even if you’re eating “healthy,” meals that aren’t balanced for blood sugar can make these symptoms worse.

🔹 Why It Matters

When your blood sugar spikes and crashes repeatedly:

• Your body holds onto stored fat more stubbornly

• You feel constantly hungry or fatigued

• Hormones like insulin, cortisol, and even thyroid function can be impacted

• Mood and sleep can suffer

The good news? It’s fixable with simple, strategic adjustments to your meals.

🔹 The Balanced Plate Approach

To support your hormones and steady your blood sugar, aim for every meal to include:

1. Protein - helps you feel full and supports lean muscle

2. Healthy fats - slow digestion, support hormone production, and stabilize blood sugar

3. Fiber-rich carbs –-give sustained energy and prevent crashes

Examples:

• 🍳 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs + avocado + roasted sweet potato

• 🥗 Lunch: Salad with grilled salmon + quinoa + olive oil dressing

• 🥕 Snack: Apple slices + almond butter + handful of pumpkin seeds

Even small tweaks can make a huge difference in energy, cravings, and weight management.
