Food for Menopause: Recipes and Nutritional Advice for Perimenopause, Menopause and Beyond - Paperback
by Linia Patel (Author)
Some books tell you about menopause, about what to expect, breaking taboos and myths, getting more transparency around the symptoms and treatments. Much of it is about raising awareness, getting everyone talking more openly about menopause and showing women that there is real advice out there that's now easier to access than ever before.
Dr Linia Patel's friendly, authoritative cookbook steps into this growing area with the nutritional essentials, but just as importantly with how to make your menopause work for you in a simple way. It's about understanding the process and mastering your midlife body by knowing exactly what to put on your plate.
Why do you get brain fog, which nutrients should you be getting more of to combat it, and what are the recipes you can make to pack in more of those nutrients? Studies show that how you prepare yourself during the perimenopause is the game changer. And there's of course so much you can factor into your diet to see you through menopause and post-menopause and crucially to enable you to thrive, not just survive.

This product is from one of those super rad, small businesses that we’ve vetted and love. But since they're the experts, they'll be shipping it directly to you.
So, don't be shocked when this little gem arrives in its own separate package, all by its lonesome. It's just a special delivery from a friend of the family!
(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
