LLN Episode #183: Beatrice Caffrey - Making Nutrition & Fitness Your Biggest Allies In Your 50s And Beyond

About Beatrice Caffrey: After a long career in the hospitality industry, Beatrice turned her interest to Health, Wellness and Nutrition. Going through perimenopause and then menopause herself, she realized how important lifestyle was to her feeling her best at this stage of her life. She now helps women navigate this period of their lives through nutrition, fitness and mindset. So often women put their own needs behind those of others - but in order to be of best service to those around us, we must look after ourselves first. What We Discuss in This Episode: We discuss what Beatrice mentioned about foods and nutrition. As we age, things change for us. What we could eat before maybe we can't eat now, but what most important foods are there for women when they get to their mid-forties into their fifties? We discuss how protein helps in the rebuilding of cells, of muscles, etc., as well as keeping full - it takes the body a little bit longer to digest protein. It's really great to include protein in every single meal. Beatrice mentioned one form of protein for vegans called S-E-I-T-A-N. It actually comes from Japanese and it means from protein. We also discuss "what the deal is" with weight gain in menopause and our tendency to get belly fat where maybe in the past, that wasn't an issue for us. Why does movement play an even bigger role now? We discuss the impact of alcohol on menopause symptoms? Why does mental heath matter and what role does that play as we reach midlife?
