EP 277. When Eating Becomes the Highlight of Your Day
Food feels like the only bright spot when life is loud. You are not broken. You are undernourished in pleasure. In this episode I explain why dopamine chasing ramps up in perimenopause, how the holidays amplify it, and simple grown woman standards that make food peaceful again. We use morning light, evening calm, and protein pairing to quiet cravings without dieting.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why your brain wants sugar when life feels heavy
How estrogen and serotonin dips fuel cravings after 40
The difference between rules and grown woman standards
A simple protein pairing trick that stabilizes mood
A morning light reset that makes nights easier
An evening wind down that soothes without snacks
How to enjoy treats on purpose and still trend down
A client story that shows calm beats control
