In this episode of Meera’s Menopause Podcast, we dive into the complex relationship between carbohydrates and metabolic health, especially for women navigating hormonal shifts. Together with special guest Pauline J. Cox, we break down the myths around carbs, uncover the reasons why women’s bodies respond differently to them than men’s, and explore how our needs change throughout the menstrual cycle and into perimenopause and menopause.


If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, Meera shares evidence based guidance and real life strategies to help you feel empowered, educated and in control of your health.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How carbs impact women’s metabolic health

  • Why women need a different approach to carbs than men

  • How to support your body with the right carb intake throughout your cycle

  • What changes in carb needs to expect during perimenopause and menopause

  • One small but powerful change you can make today to feel better and support long term health
