Nutrition Science

Nutrition Science explores how food influences metabolism, hormones, energy, body composition, and long‑term health, especially during the transitions that accelerate after age 40.

As estrogen and metabolic flexibility shifts, many women notice changes in weight, digestion, cravings, blood sugar, and how their bodies respond to certain foods. Understanding the science behind these changes helps women move beyond restrictive diets and toward nourishment that supports longevity, cognitive function, gut health, and stable energy.

This tag brings together evidence-based insights on macronutrients, micronutrients, protein needs, fiber, metabolic health, meal timing, and how nutrition interacts with hormones, the gut microbiome, and aging biology.

Topics include blood sugar regulation, inflammation, nutrient density, metabolic flexibility, and the role of nutrition in perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging.

Whether you’re trying to optimize energy, support weight changes, or build a long-term nutrition strategy, this section helps women make confident, science‑driven decisions about how to fuel their bodies.
