Perimenopause, Nutrition & The Stress Loop | Dr. Cheryl Kam | Ep 56 Empowered at Midlife

What your body is actually telling you in perimenopause and why 'eating well' may not be enough. In this episode, Shamala and Susanah are joined by Dr Cheryl Kam, a functional doctor and mother of five, for a remarkably candid conversation about the hidden links between stress, nutrition, and how we navigate midlife in our bodies. In this conversation, you'll discover: How the stress loop depletes your minerals and nutrients — even when you think you're eating well Why the order in which you eat carbs, protein, and fibre matters more than you might expect What perimenopause actually felt like for three women who've been through it — and what made the difference The connection between cortisol, sugar cravings, and the spiral that's harder to escape than you'd think How to think about nutrition at midlife without going neurotic about it This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
