Understanding Perimenopause as a Time of Growth
As women approach perimenopause, they often face unexpected shifts in weight, mood, and self-perception. Yet rather than viewing this phase as a hurdle, it can be embraced as a unique period of transformation and self-discovery. Here at Aura & Meta, we see perimenopause as an empowering journey—a chance to redefine self-image and focus on what truly matters in life.
Reframing Weight Gain: Recognizing the Body’s Journey and Wisdom
Our bodies carry a lifetime of experiences. During perimenopause, weight gain can be common, not as a failure but as a natural response to aging and hormonal shifts. By shifting focus from weight loss to overall wellness, we can embrace our bodies with gratitude for everything they’ve endured and achieved, from childbirth to daily resilience.
Embracing the wisdom of your body, rather than fighting it, helps align with the natural flow of this life stage. At Aura & Meta, we emphasize self-acceptance, encouraging women to focus on wellness, energy, and balance over numbers on a scale.
Redefining Vision and Mission in Life
Perimenopause often coincides with a period of introspection, as past priorities evolve. This time offers an opportunity to redefine personal goals and reassess what brings true fulfilment. Changes in family dynamics, like children leaving home, can make space for self-care and personal growth.
For many women, this phase becomes a new beginning—a chance to embrace new passions or rekindle forgotten ones. Sandra Cohen is dedicated to supporting women in rediscovering themselves and aligning their health goals with their evolving vision and mission.
Body Image and Self-Esteem: Embracing Change with Compassion
Navigating body changes during perimenopause can challenge self-esteem. By nurturing a positive body image and acknowledging all the body’s achievements, women can strengthen their self-confidence. Embracing body changes as part of life’s journey allows for genuine confidence, stemming from self-compassion rather than appearances.
At Aura & Meta, our personalized programs empower women to reconnect with their bodies through integrative approaches, helping them celebrate their strength, resilience, and beauty through every phase of life.
The Role of Balanced Nutrition for Weight Management and Confidence
Balanced nutrition is essential for managing perimenopausal weight and maintaining energy levels. Incorporating nutrient-dense foods into daily meals can naturally support metabolism, promoting vitality and well-being. Important nutrients during this stage may include:
- Proteins: an average of 25 to 30 grams of proteins are required to support hormonal production and to make sure we maintain good levels of muscle mass.
- Fiber: A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains helps stabilize blood sugar and supports gut health.
- Magnesium: Essential for muscle relaxation and stress reduction, magnesium is found in leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.
At Aura & Meta, we focus on personalized nutrition that emphasizes nourishment over restriction, helping clients maintain balanced energy levels and improve overall well-being.
