The Truth About Your Plate
What Happens Every 35 Days
4/25/20242 min read
Did you know that every 35 days, your body performs a quiet miracle? It renews your skin and builds new cells using the very food you eat. That means the choices you make at every meal don’t just fuel you—they literally become a part of you!
This transformation is nothing short of amazing, and during menopause, it becomes even more essential. Our bodies can feel like they’re on a rollercoaster, making it the perfect time to prioritise nourishing, high-quality foods that support balance and vitality.
Think of it like a home renovation. If you were remodelling your dream house, you wouldn’t skimp on materials—you’d want the best, most durable, and beautiful options, right? Your body deserves the same level of care and intention.
That doesn’t mean you have to give up life’s little indulgences (hello, chocolate cake or a glass of wine!). It’s about finding balance and making choices that help you not only look good but feel incredible.
The next time you’re planning a meal, ask yourself: Am I giving my body the best tools to thrive? Imagine every bite as a building block for your skin, energy, and overall wellness.
Two Recipes to Glow From the Inside Out:
To get you started, here are two nourishing, skin-loving recipes that are perfect for women navigating menopause:

Remember, every meal is a chance to care for yourself from the inside out. Let your plate be a reflection of the strong, vibrant, and unstoppable woman you are.
