One day, you’re feeling great—full of energy, ready to tackle your to-do list. The next? You’re crying because you ran out of butter, forgetting everything, waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night, hot flashes at the most inconvenient of times and going ape $*&t at your family over absolutely nothing. Sound familiar? Welcome to perimenopause, the phase before menopause where your hormones decide to throw a party… and you’re not invited.

I can’t begin to tell you how often I hear stories of women who feel “off,” go get their hormones checked, and are then told by their doctor that their hormones are fine. But if they are “fine,” why then do they feel so very “off?”

We've all been there: You finish a big, delicious meal only to feel that food coma hit you within 30 minutes. Your body, being nice and full, becomes super sluggish and ready for a nice long nap.

If you are anything like me, then your parents were probably telling you to “eat your veggies!”

And maybe you even got the famous, “there are starving children in Cuba” line too. Most people know veggies are good for them…. And that they need to be eating more. But a lot of folks have a hard time doing so. I don’t know when the last time was that I was tempted to eat a plate of steamed veggies…. It’s so much easier to grab some processed snacks, right?

Research has shown that mindful eating is the healthiest way to eat; because you are putting thought into what you’re eating and how you are eating it, your eating habits, digestion, and overall health will benefit greatly.

Collagen supplements have become increasingly popular in the clean-eating movement, and for all the right reasons. Not only do they provide protein for soothing achy joints and nutrients for rejuvenating your skin, but they may also improve your gut health and boost your energy levels, as well.
