What if menopause could be viewed not as the end of something, but as the beginning of a new chapter?
In this episode, Dr. Ian Smith joins us for an in-depth conversation about menopause nutrition, perimenopause, healthy aging, weight management, inflammation, muscle loss, and the role of food in managing midlife health.
Dr. Ian wrote The New Menopause Kitchen to help women navigate the physical and nutritional changes that occur during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. His approach focuses on making nutrition simple, actionable, and accessible rather than overwhelming.
Menopause is not a period of resignation—it can be an opportunity to rethink nutrition, movement, strength, and long-term health. By prioritizing protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin D, nutrient-dense whole foods, muscle-building exercise, and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, women can build a practical foundation for health throughout midlife and beyond.
