Meno Guide / Nutrition & Diet

Nutrition & Diet

Food is one of the most powerful tools you have during menopause. The right plate supports hormones, bones, mood and a steady metabolism.

Nutrition & Diet

The Menopause Plate

You don’t need a diet, you need a different relationship with food. In midlife, protein, fibre, healthy fats and plants become essential, not optional.

Half your plate plants, a palm of protein at every meal, healthy fats and slow carbs. It sounds simple because it is, but it is the foundation everything else builds on.

Eat Like a Midlife Woman

Daily targets that protect your bones, brain and energy.

25–30g protein at every meal
30+ plant varieties per week
2 portions of oily fish weekly
Calcium-rich foods daily
Hydrate to 2L water
Limit ultra-processed foods

Nutrients That Matter Most

Essential

Protein

Protects muscle, balances blood sugar, keeps you full.

Daily

Phytoestrogens

Soya, flaxseed and lentils gently support hormone balance.

Lifelong

Bone Nutrients

Calcium, vitamin D, K2 and magnesium protect your skeleton.

You cannot supplement your way out of a poor diet, but you can transform menopause with a great one.

Foods to Watch

Alcohol
Ultra-processed snacks
Refined sugar
Excess caffeine
Skipped meals
Restrictive diets
