Menopause Registered Dietitian: Eating for Perimenopause
If you have been eating well for decades and suddenly nothing feels like it is working anymore, you’re not imagining things. Things are different now.
The fatigue. The weight gain. The brain fog. The growing pile of conflicting advice from everyone around you. It all adds up fast, especially when you are already running on empty.
Think of perimenopause and menopause as a second puberty. It is another time of huge hormonal shifts and most of us will feel very awkward and uncomfortable with the changes at first.
That is why you need someone in your corner who actually understands what is happening.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Sandra Turnbull, a Registered Dietitian, a certified coach, and a Be Body Positive Facilitator. I’ve also been through menopause myself, so I really get it.
I help midlife women cut through the noise of conflicting nutrition information, figure out what to eat for their changing body, and bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. It’s time to stop trying harder and try something different.
My approach is evidence-informed, nourishment-first, and completely free of diet culture. No restriction, no miracle protocols. Just practical, trustworthy guidance grounded in 30 years of experience working with midlife women.
This stage of life is not a crisis (although it can feel like it sometimes!). It is an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a next chapter that is genuinely healthy and meaningful.
I would love to help you build it.
