By Team THORA balanced, wholefood diet high in low-fat dairy, lean protein, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables can help alleviate menopause symptoms. Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D and E, and boron also benefit women during perimenopause.
Extreme dieting is not something to try and is not an effective or healthy weight loss strategy. Instead, you should aim for a balanced menopause diet that provides all the nutrients and energy that your body needs. Lacking proper nutrition, you are more prone to fatigue, infection, and disease.
Terry Tateossian is a Menopause Lifestyle Medicine Coach, Certified Personal Trainer & Nutritionist and the Founder of THOR: The House of Rose, a wellness brand serving women over 40 through retreats, coaching, macro-nutrition and community. As 25-year founder and entrepreneur, Terry spent two and a half decades building and running successful start-up businesses, an experience that put her on the front line of founder burnout long before she could name it. After facing serious health challenges, early onset menopause, and emotional eating while running her agency and raising two children, Terry rebuilt her health in her 40s and lost more than 80 pounds through evidence-based nutrition, training, and mindset work. Today, she helps women get strong, improve confidence, support hormone health, and create a stronger second half of life. Terry has been featured in major media outlets and is available for podcasts, expert commentary, brand collaborations, and speaking engagements on midlife health, reinvention, emotional eating, menopause wellness, and strength training for longevity.
