All Things Pink
Episode 42: Why can you suddenly NOT tolerate foods you've eaten for years?
On this episode of All Things Pink, Licensed Clinical Nutritionist Christina Brockett returns for Part 4 of our menopause series with her—and we're diving into one of the lesser-known and incredibly frustrating experiences women can encounter during perimenopause and menopause: food intolerances, digestive changes, gut health, and inflammation. If you've suddenly found yourself saying, "I used to eat this with no problem!"—this conversation is for you. Christina breaks down what's actually happening inside the body as estrogen and progesterone decline and explains how those hormonal changes can affect multiple body systems, digestion, inflammation, and the way we respond to certain foods. And this is MUCH bigger than simply having an upset stomach. We explore the difference between a true food allergy and a food intolerance and take deeper dives into some of the topics women are hearing more and more about, including: • Food intolerances during perimenopause and menopause • The connection between hormonal changes, digestion, and gut health • Estrogen and progesterone and their effects throughout the body • Food allergies vs. food intolerances • Gluten and why some people may react differently to it • FODMAPs—what they are and why they matter • SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) • Histamine and histamine-releasing foods • Inflammation—what it is, what contributes to it, and how it affects the body • Why testing can be important before making major dietary changes • How elimination diets can be used thoughtfully and systematically • What symptoms and patterns to pay attention to • Practical strategies for figuring out what YOUR body may be responding to Most importantly, we talk about why perimenopause and menopause require greater mindfulness and intentionality. Our bodies are changing. What worked before may not work now. Foods we've eaten for decades may suddenly affect us differently. Our symptoms may be trying to tell us something. And instead of fighting our changing bodies, this season gives us an opportunity to become more curious about what they need. This isn't about fearing food or unnecessarily eliminating everything from your diet. It's about becoming informed, recognizing patterns, seeking appropriate professional guidance and testing when needed, and learning how to support the body you have right now. All Things Pink brings women over 40 honest conversations about perimenopause, menopause, women's health, wellness, aging, relationships, personal growth, and all the things we should have been talking about years ago.
