In this episode of The Midlife Glow Up Podcast, Joan invites listeners to take a thoughtful look at their personal story with nutrition - the beliefs they grew up with, the rules they absorbed without realizing it, and the “diet mentality” that often follows women into midlife. She explains why this season of life isn’t the time for shrinking or restricting, but for intentional nourishment that supports hormones, metabolism, energy, and long-term health.
Joan then breaks down the five most impactful things women over 40 can add to their plates to feel, look, and perform their best. Each one is simple, powerful, and rooted in science, and Joan shares both personal stories and client examples to illustrate how small nutrition upgrades can transform daily life.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why midlife is not the time for eating less, but for eating more intentionally
- How your early beliefs about food may still be influencing your choices today
- The connection between nourishment, hormone balance, metabolism, and emotional steadiness
- Five key additions that powerfully support a midlife body (without dieting or perfection)
- How fueling properly leads to better consistency, fewer cravings, and more sustainable habits
