FAQs

Yes! Optimizing your nutrition can help to alleviate hot flashes, improve your mood, and protect bone health during menopause. We are experts in women’s health.

We can support you no matter where you find yourself in your journey.

We understand that you may want to lose weight or have been told to lose weight. In the short term, losing weight might help improve some health measures. However, as you probably know, losing weight through restricting your diet never leads to stable long term weight. Most people regain any weight they lost over time. Weight cycling, or the repeated loss and regain of weight, is associated with enhanced inflammatory response and cardiovascular stress. Weight stability at any weight is the most consistently protective finding in the research. We prioritize health, and that may mean you lose weight, or not. But we do not pursue weight loss at all costs.
