Have insatiable cravings in perimenopause? 🤤 You can be eating all the right things — including getting enough protein — and still struggle with uncontrollable hunger, cravings, and energy crashes. Here’s why... 👇 In perimenopause, blood sugar regulation gets harder. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone (which help keep blood sugar stable) start to drop. The result? 🔹 More blood sugar spikes and crashes 🔹 More cravings 🔹 More stubborn belly fat and bloating Protein is your foundation — it's the first and most important step to anchor your blood sugar. But sometimes protein alone isn’t enough. Here’s what else helps: ✅ Add blood sugar-supportive herbs and nutrients ✅ Manage stress (high cortisol = higher blood sugar swings) ✅ Focus on gut health (yes, gut health affects blood sugar too) The more stable your blood sugar, the easier everything else becomes. 🎯
