36: 🥣 5 Foods I Don’t Eat Anymore

In this episode, I’m sharing five foods I used to eat all the time that just don’t have a place in my life anymore. And no, this isn’t about demonizing food or creating rules. It’s about noticing how my choices have shifted as I’ve moved through midlife and perimenopause, and celebrating the small but powerful changes that support my hormone health and energy now.

You’ll hear me talk about:

✔️Why I broke up with breakfast cereal after decades of eating it on the regular

✔️The hardest thing I’ve ever given up and the freedom it has given me

✔️How a clean-eating challenge made me start actually reading ingredient labels

✔️Why Wheat Thins feel like a total “waste of sugar” to me now

✔️The reason I choose pasture-raised meat and eggs when I can, and how that supports midlife hormone balance

This conversation isn’t really about cereal or crackers — it’s about noticing the ways we evolve and giving ourselves credit for the progress we’ve made.

✨ Now it’s your turn: What’s one food you used to eat all the time that you don’t anymore? Tell me in a written review on Apple, or in the comments on Spotify or Instagram. I can’t wait to hear what you share!
