Welcome to The Menopause Larder, founded and run by accredited registered nutritionist Dr Tanja Harrison PhD. This website provides updated and evidence-based information on how foods and nutrition affect women during the menopause transition, i.e. in perimenopause and postmenopause. Here you will find guidance on foods, macronutrients and micronutrients, and dietary patterns and how these affect women's health and wellbeing with all things menopause, including menopause symptoms. Rise ! Renew ! Embrace ! Inspire ! The Menopause Larder® Welcome to The Menopause Larder ! The menopausal transition (including peri- and postmenopause) can be a very challenging time for women, both physically, cognitively and emotionally. In fact, the majority of women will experience at least one of the many symptoms of this transition. Whilst our understanding and awareness of menopause is changing and there are increasing conversations and debates on this topic happening, we still tend to look at these changes through a negative lens. Menopause is often still linked to ageing within a context of losing our youth and grieving that change, rather than empowerment. However, in non-Western societies getting older is traditionally viewed as a time of new beginnings and greater wisdom. Menopause is classed as a 'second spring' or season of renewal, as a time of empowerment and liberation. To say it with Nina Simone - "It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life for me". Food is an important expression of culture and of joy. It is also a great tool to help us with the transition through this new stage in our lives and to maintain good health. We still have a lot to learn about the links between food and menopause. The Menopause Larder is about exploring those links and making sure that the food that you eat moving forward will not only be delicious, but also empower you to become your best kick-arse self!
