EPISODE SUMMARY
It’s no secret that our bodies have to endure dramatic metabolic shifts throughout perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Things that used to feel effortless—like keeping your energy, mood, and weight in check—now take everything you’ve got.
But what if there was an easier way?
A simple method to future-proof your body against aging, declining health, and even disease?
Spoiler alert: There is.
In today’s episode, Dr. Federica Amati (a leading clinical nutrition scientist and medical advisor at Zoe) joined me to help move the narrative toward practical solutions and a diet plan you can start using to navigate menopause TODAY.
We explore the concept of “bioharmony” and how to use data, technology, and the right food to help you significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia.
Dr. Federica also shares invaluable advice on how to track your symptoms and assess your progress using a FREE tool called a Menoscale.

QUOTES
“Once menopause hits, a woman’s risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia skyrockets. It’s something we have to absolutely talk about with the women we’re working with to empower them to reduce these risks.”
99.8% of women in perimenopause report at least one symptom, but many don’t realize things like mood swings, irritability, or brain fog are directly related to hormonal changes.”
“You can’t change what you don’t track. Tracking your menopausal symptoms—and seeing how specific interventions like dietary changes, exercise, or hormone therapy improve them—is essential for understanding what works for your body.”
“We created a free tool called the Menoscale, developed with the British Menopause Society. It helps you track your top 20 menopause symptoms, see where you stand, and measure improvements over time.”
