A Clear Path Through Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond—Nutrition & Lifestyle
Coaching to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again.
Tailored Nutrition Coaching
After seeing dozens of patients in my practice who struggled as they entered perimenopause and menopause, I decided it was time to stop b**tching about the lack of resources and decided do something about it. Thus. FoodyAlchemy was born.
I’ve been there, angry, confused, and terrified at the changes that I was noticing in my body. Worse yet, my doctors had NO CLUE; they were dismissive or simply didn’t have the time to spend with me. It wasn’t until I started directing my fear and frustration into learning as much as I could about my body that I actually began to feel more like the director of my health, rather than feeling like I’m on a blow-up raft in the middle of the ocean.
These changes and a new chapter in our lives can be overwhelming, but we get to write the wisest chapter yet.- I’ve got your back the whole way.
Instead of treating your body like a crusty meat sack and saying “I guess I’m just getting old,” together we can replace it with:.
Making decisions with intention and knowledge, rather than fear.
Prioritizing nutrition made for YOU, not subjecting yourself to restrictive diets that DON’T WORK.
Confidence in the kitchen and an arsenal of recipes to come back to again and again.
Clarity and laser-like focus on your health goals, and crystal clear steps to achieve them.
Care for your body in a holistic approach with both Eastern Medicine and Western methods.
Zeroing in on feeling good rather than losing weight ( although most women do experience weight loss)

According to the Pros: When Your Hormones Hit the Brakes You Can Experience:
We put ourselves LAST.
I had to make this my first point because look around you. Name any woman in your life who isn’t juggling 50 different things at once. It’s like we should have been born with a third arm. Working, juggling grand kids, being a mother, being a friend, a sister, a wife… Which leaves very little time for the most important person.. YOU. You see, society taught us at an early age to take care of others and to put others’ needs before our own. Don’t get me wrong, feminine energy is a beautiful thing, but when giving becomes an obligation, rest feels like it needs to be earned, you look in the mirror and you don’t recognize yourself…something needs to change.
Lack of Resources/Access
I can count half a dozen women in my circle who are incredibly smart, kind, caring, and intelligent people. Yet, have no idea where to go when changes happen. This isn’t a reflection of intelligence; there are minimal resources for women in transition. In fact, PubMed has about 23 million articles on pregnancy and a measly 3 million on menopause.
Lack of research and funding for women’s health:
Menopause is still hugely under-researched, and honestly, it shows. For so long, women’s health just wasn’t a priority in medical science, and menopause was brushed off as this “natural phase” we should simply deal with. Add in the stigma around aging and anything related to female hormones, and the result is a serious lack of solid information and innovative treatments. So many women are left struggling with symptoms that impact their daily lives, while the research we do have is decades behind where it should be. It’s definitely time for science to catch up.
Providers are uneducated/or have cotton stuck in their ears:
Even with all the progress in modern medicine, most healthcare providers still barely learn anything about menopause. Many get just a couple of hours of training on it—if that—which blows my mind, considering every single person with ovaries will go through it. Because of this, a lot of women are dismissed, told their symptoms are “just aging,” and left to figure things out on their own. It shouldn’t be this way. Menopause deserves real expertise, real support, and providers who are actually educated on what’s happening in our bodies. Dismissed

Here’s What You Can Always Expect At Foody Alchemy
Where am I now?
Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause when the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone.
Formally, it’s defined as:
The time between the onset of menstrual cycle changes (such as irregular periods, skipped cycles, or changes in flow) and the final menstrual period (menopause).
It usually begins in a woman’s 40s but can start earlier or later, and it lasts on average 4–8 years.
Perimenopause ends once a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a period, which is the definition of menopause.
Common features include irregular cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and shifts in metabolism.
Menopause
Menopause is defined as the permanent end of menstrual cycles, diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period (with no other medical cause).
A few key points:
It marks the end of ovarian function—the ovaries no longer release eggs and estrogen/progesterone levels are very low.
The average age of natural menopause is about 51 years old (but it can range from the early 40s to late 50s).
Menopause can also be induced earlier through surgery (removal of ovaries), chemotherapy, or radiation.
From a medical perspective, menopause is not a sudden event but a milestone—the single point in time after which a woman is considered postmenopausal.
