Beyond Hormone Therapy - Embracing Midlife as a New Beginning with Jen Salib Huber

About this episode
We're so excited to hang out with Jenn Salib Huber. Jenn calls herself a "midlife feminist dietitian badass." We get real about the messy "crash landing" that often happens when perimenopause hits. Jen shares her own story of moving from disordered eating to finding true food peace during her midlife transition. We dive into why standard hormone therapy isn't a magic fix for everyone and why we need to listen to our own unique bodies instead. She explains her "undiating" process, which is all about unlearning those old diet culture rules to finally trust our bodies again. We also chat about decoding cravings as biological or emotional hunger rather than a lack of willpower. Jenn shows us that this "hormonal soup" of midlife is actually a great chance to start putting our own needs first. It’s a warm, honest guide to navigating body changes with more confidence and less shame.
