LoveReading Says
For anyone going through the menopause, you know what a challenge it is finding the right balance of everything, as you are flung off your usual axis. Everything that has ever worked for you before, everything that you previously knew about yourself is off kilter and it's terrifying. As the brain fogs diminish who we are and we start to lose our hard-gotten confidence, we reach out, trying to find a new way forward.
Dr Linia Patel is a women's health dietician who works with women on a daily basis from her London-based clinic. Too many women in their forties are struggling with their health and life feels hard. Rock hard.
She understands that many of us experience profound effects of a midlife hormone flux. This book is here to help us navigate that. From understanding your body and your symptoms, to eating for success, living for success and recipes for success the four parts of this book are perfectly placed to help us on this journey.
It starts from the beginning and presents information, ideas and inspiration in a really accessible way, right down to kitchen staples for balanced meals. It is now my go-to guide for all things nutrition, helping me understand the impact foods have on my body.
With over 80 recipes perfect for the craziness of our lives, find the recipes that speak to you, ensuring you give yourself the nutrients you need for perimenopause, the menopause and beyond. I highly recommend the Fiery ginger and ginger switchel (yum) and the Easy shakshuka with spinach is the most wonderful weekend brunch. Firmly on my kitchen counter and grabbable. As Tess Daly says on the cover: "There's nothing Linia does not know when it comes to nutrition. She is my go-to nutrition goddess." Tess, mine too, mine too.
