202A "The Macrobiotic Diet — Ancient Wisdom for Modern Menopause"

 In this episode of Menopause Made Easy with Tanya, I explore the macrobiotic diet — an ancient, plant-forward way of eating rooted in balance, mindfulness, and seasonal living. Learn how it supports your gut microbiome, hormone balance, and overall health in menopause. We compare two women with different food mindsets and show you how to reach 120g of protein daily on a macrobiotic plan across all four seasons in Canada.

What You'll Learn:

• What the macrobiotic diet is and its historical roots

• How it improves gut health, estrogen detox, and inflammation

• Sample seasonal meal plans with 120g of protein/day

• Why mindset matters more than the menu

• Tips for bringing gentle macrobiotic principles into your life
