189: Food, Perimenopause & The Shame Spiral No One Talks About

Why does food feel so much louder, heavier and more emotional during perimenopause and menopause - especially at times of celebration? Food isn’t just food during perimenopause — it can carry guilt, anxiety, nostalgia and shame, all wrapped up in hormonal change and nervous system overload. In this episode, we gently unpack the unspoken relationship many women have with food during menopause, why festive and celebratory eating can feel so triggering, and how food noise is not a failure of willpower but a biological and emotional response. Expect compassion, science-backed insight and permission to soften the shame and find safety again in your body.
