About

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com sits down with Chef Mareya Ibrahim-Jones—also known as The Fit Foodie—to discuss how midlife women can thrive by rethinking nutrition, fitness, and mindset.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mareya shares her journey of shifting from routines that no longer worked to discovering what truly supports her health in midlife.
  • Why working out to burn fat may not be effective anymore, and how lifting weights transformed Mareya’s energy, physique, and mental clarity.
  • The crucial role of building muscle: why muscle mass matters more than ever during menopause.
  • Nutrition insights: You need to consume enough, and the right types of, calories to build and maintain muscle.
  • The 90/10 rule: Eat well 90% of the time, but don’t deprive yourself because indulgence helps maintain metabolic flexibility and enjoyment.
  • Mindset matters: How changing your approach to self-care and fitness can lead to lasting results.
  • The dangers of calorie restriction: Why eating too little can backfire and slow your metabolism.
  • Quality over quantity: Focus on nutrient-dense foods, not just calorie counts.
  • Skin health tips: Hydration, electrolytes, vitamin C, and glutathione for glowing skin from the inside out.
  • The power of eating the rainbow: How a colorful, varied diet supports overall wellness and cellular health.
