Is Perimenopause Running the Show (and Not Letting You Read the Script)?
Let’s change that—starting today.
Perimenopause can feel like a full-time job no one trained you for. The mood swings. The fatigue. The 3AM anxiety spirals. Sound familiar?
You don’t have to do this alone—and you shouldn’t
have to piece it together from late-night Google searches. That’s why I created these free guides to help you cut through the chaos and start feeling like you again.
Grab one now and get real-life tools to support your hormones, energy, mood, and more.
What Even is Perimenopause?
Think of it like the winding (and sometimes bumpy) road leading up to menopause. It usually kicks off in your 40s—but for some women, it can start even earlier.
Hormone shifts during this time can cause symptoms like:
✅Hot flashes that hit out of nowhere
✅Mood swings that rival your teen years
✅Night sweats, brain fog, and libido plot twists
✅Irregular periods that love to keep you guessing
Sound familiar?
It can feel like your body’s rewriting the script without telling you—but here’s the thing:
You’re not broken. You’re transitioning. And it’s completely normal.
The key is having the right tools, support, and knowledge to navigate it with more clarity (and a lot less confusion).
Hi, I'm Kim
Holistic Nutritionist. Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist. Midlife truth-teller.
I’ve been where you are—confused, exhausted, and wondering if I was the only one Googling “why do I feel like a hormonal alien?” at 3AM.
Now, I help women in midlife ditch the guesswork and get real support for their hormones, health, and emotional well-being. My approach blends science-backed tools, mindset shifts, and plenty of permission to not have it all together!
This isn’t just about surviving perimenopause.
It’s about reclaiming your energy, your mood, your body—and your joy.
My Approach: Real Support, Real Women, Real Results
Let’s be real—midlife health advice often feels like it was written for 25-year-olds with zero hormone chaos and unlimited time. That’s not you. And it’s definitely not me.
Here’s what I believe:
✅You don’t need to “push through” or “just deal with it.”
✅Your symptoms aren’t in your head—they’re in your hormones.
✅Real change happens when we stop judging ourselves and start supporting ourselves (with food, movement, rest, and compassion).
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Menopause Coaching Specialist, I focus on science-backed strategies
blended with grace, humor, and zero shame. Whether you’re dealing with mood swings, fatigue, or a libido that ghosted you—there’s a way forward.
My work isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving your body what it needs and your mind the space to catch up.
From the Blog: Real Talk for Real Hormones
No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just science-backed advice, cheeky encouragement, and the kind of midlife support you actually want to read. Whether you're riding the emotional rollercoaster or wondering if brain fog is your new personality—I've got you.
Energizing Perimenopausal Power Bowl: A Recipe for Hormonal Health
If the minute I go on a diet that's when I start craving things I never normally crave, you know?
~ Naomi Watts
Navigating through perimenopause can be a challenging journey, but the right foods can make a world of difference in managing symptoms and boosting overall well-being. This delicious and nutrient-packed recipe is designed with hormone health in mind, making it an excellent choice for perimenopausal women. Let’s explore the benefits of each ingredient and how they contribute to hormonal balance and overall health.
Ingredients (Serves 2):
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 small or 1 medium yam, diced (leave the peel on if it looks good or peel it)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 scallions, chopped
2-3 cups shredded kale
1 cup broth
1-15 oz BPA-free can lentils, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons goat cheese, feta cheese (or dairy-free cheese)
A couple dashes of kelp sprinkles
Salt and pepper to taste
4 eggs (add 2 more eggs and use less yam for a higher protein, lower-carb option)
Optional: Substitute 1 cup diced smoked salmon or cooked chicken for the eggs if desired.
Directions:
Cook the Yams:
Add coconut oil to a medium skillet over medium/high heat. When hot, add the diced yam.
Cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Simmer with Broth:
Add broth. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer for about 8 minutes or until the yams are tender.
Prepare the Eggs:
Meanwhile, prepare your eggs to your liking. Poached eggs are a great option for this dish.
Combine and Heat:
Stir in lentils, kale, and scallions to the skillet. Cook until heated through and the kale is slightly wilted.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve topped with eggs, cheese, and kelp sprinkles. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Nutritional Benefits:
Yams:
Rich in beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamins C and B6, yams help support the adrenal glands and manage stress, common issues during perimenopause.
Garlic:
Known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, garlic can help reduce inflammation and support overall health.
Kale:
A nutrient-dense leafy green, kale is high in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K, all essential for bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Lentils:
Packed with protein and fiber, lentils help regulate blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer, which can help manage weight gain during perimenopause.
Goat Cheese/Feta Cheese:
Provides a good source of calcium and protein. If you’re lactose intolerant or prefer dairy-free options, there are plenty of delicious alternatives available.
Kelp Sprinkles:
Rich in iodine, kelp supports thyroid health, which can be particularly beneficial as thyroid function often changes during perimenopause.
Eggs:
High in protein and healthy fats, eggs can help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide sustained energy. They are also a good source of choline, important for brain health.
Optional Protein Boost:
Smoked Salmon or Cooked Chicken:
Both are excellent sources of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory and can help support hormone production and balance.
Making It Higher Protein, Lower Carb:
For those looking to increase protein intake and reduce carbohydrates, simply add an extra 2 eggs and reduce the amount of yam and lentils used, while adding in the smoked salmon or chicken. This adjustment will boost the protein content while lowering the carb count, making it an even better option for stabilizing blood sugar and supporting muscle maintenance.
This recipe not only provides a delicious meal but also supports your hormonal health during perimenopause. Enjoy this power bowl as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and feel the benefits of these nutrient-dense ingredients.
