Ep. 157 Menopause and Diet Culture: Why Women Born Between 1960 and 1980 Were Fed the Wrong Information
If you were born between 1960 and 1980, you were literally fed the wrong information. Not because you made bad choices. Because the information you were given was wrong.
Low fat everything. Eat less, move more. Cardio is queen. Avoid fat. Cut calories. And when it stops working, try harder.
You absorbed those beliefs at an age when you didn't know to question them. And now you're in perimenopause or menopause, doing everything you were taught to do, and wondering why your body isn't responding.
This is why.
In this episode I break down why the old playbook doesn't just stop working in midlife — it actively works against you. And what your body actually needs now, including the three categories of fat most women in this generation have been avoiding and the real protein numbers that protect your muscle, your metabolism, and your energy.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why the low-fat, eat-less, do-more-cardio approach is working directly against women in perimenopause and menopause
How the beliefs you were taught in the 80s and 90s are showing up in how you eat today
Why your body needs more fat now, not less, and which ones matter most
Why protein is the most important nutrition change you can make in midlife
What the new playbook actually looks like for your body right now
