In this eye-opening second part of our conversation with perimenopause expert Shelby Tutty, we dive deep into the intricate connection between hormonal changes and our relationship with food and body image.

Ever wondered why perimenopause is a prime time for developing disordered eating patterns? We unpack this rarely discussed topic, shedding light on how our bodies naturally change during this transition and why fighting against it can lead to more harm than good.

Shelby shares fascinating insights into:

* The surprising ways perimenopause impacts nutrient absorption and metabolism

* Why your old diet tricks might backfire spectacularly during this transition

* How to work with your changing body instead of fighting against it

* Practical tips for nourishing yourself without falling into restrictive patterns

If you've ever felt confused or frustrated by changes in your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you approach your health and well-being during perimenopause and beyond.

Don't miss this chance to gain a deeper understanding of your body and learn how to work with it, not against it, during this important time of life. Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts informative, compassionate, and empowering!

Note: There is some discussion of weight and calories in this episode. If this is triggering to you, please consider skipping this conversation. I do not condone or suggest weighing or counting calories for anyone with a disordered eating history.
