Intuitive Eating for Women in Perimenopause
A self care approach to health that centres you as the expert
because no one knows what it feels like to be in your body, better than you do
You are so done with dieting, but don’t quite know what to do instead.
You care about your health, but are confused about the conflicting information you hear about nutrition and menopause.
You feel like you are doing all the “right” things, but your body isn’t responding the way it used to.
You are tired of being fixated on food all day only to feel out of control with your eating at night.
But that magazine article you just saw promising the secret to stopping the “middle-aged spread” keeps you
feeling stuck in old patterns.
It makes sense that you feel this way – your whole life you’ve been told that health is measured by a number on a scale.
But health is so much more than a number. And there is another way.
Imagine having a peaceful relationship with food while
supporting your health through midlife
Because your brain is juggling way too many things right now to have to hold space
for the number of calories in a Grande Latte vs a Tall.
It’s time to break free from the rules of diets and put yourself first.

About Melanie
A confession right of the start – I just turned 40, so I don’t have a ton of experience with this “midlife” phase. However, I am well within the window of perimenopause and have started experiencing some changes related to the menopause transition. I also have a long list of friends who remember how sweet it was when the Sony Sports Walkman was first released. That counts right?
In all seriousness, I do understand how insidious and pervasive diet culture is, particularly as we go through the menopause transition. It tells us our changing bodies are wrong and makes us question ourselves. That we need to do everything we can to “stop the middle-aged spread” and if we must age, then it needs to be graceful.
Screw that.
Health is so much more than a number on the scale. And so is our worth.
I want to support you in making evidence-based decisions about your health while helping you heal from diet culture and enjoy nourishing food that will help you thrive through this phase of life.
FAQ
Is this program covered by extended health benefits?
If your coverage includes a registered dietitian, yes. You will receive a receipt following each nutrition therapy session that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement, based on your individual plan.
Will this program help me lose weight?
This program is intended to help you repair your relationship with food and get you thinking about health in a more holistic way, beyond just a number on the scale. It’s possible that your body weight may change as a result of your new approach to food and health, but I cannot predict whether or not your weight will change.
I’ve heard of Intuitive Eating, but don’t know that much about it. Can you tell me more?
Intuitive Eating is a self-care framework developed by two registered dietitians designed to help you heal your relationship with food. This approach is weight-inclusive, HAES-aligned, and has a validated assessment tool, along with a growing body of research demonstrating improved mental and physical health outcomes.
There are 10 Principles that teach you how to tune into your body’s physical cues and remove negative rules, thoughts, and beliefs, so you can honour your health and meet your body’s needs.
Research suggests that Intuitive Eaters have higher self-esteem, better body image, more satisfaction with life, and better coping skills. Some studies also associate Intuitive Eating with higher HDL cholesterol levels and lower triglyceride levels. We also see lower rates of emotional eating and lower rates of disordered eating behaviours among those who identify as Intuitive Eaters.
Who is this program open to?
This program is open to residents of British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Due to the content that focuses on perimenopause, the program is best suited for women ages ~35-55.
