Building Your Menopause Plate

Registered dietitian Sarah Pashaie joins EverCalm to clarify who should give nutrition advice and why regulated dietitians matter for complex life stages like menopause. She explains how falling estrogen affects bones, muscles, visceral fat and metabolic rate, and why calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, protein and fibre become critical. Sarah outlines practical strategies: a food‑first approach, plant‑rich, anti‑inflammatory eating, smarter meal timing, and her simple “half veg, quarter protein, quarter whole‑grain” menopause plate. She also busts myths around cutting carbs and intermittent fasting, and shows how gut health links to mood, sleep and brain fog.You’ll learn which symptoms are red flags, which tests matter most, and how stress and sleep interact with long‑term heart risk. If you want to stay active, sharp and independent for decades to come, this conversation will help you ask better questions and take more informed action.
