I also explain why flexible dieting is often the missing piece for women navigating midlife and menopause. A controlling diet increases stress when hormones are already elevated. flexible dieting creates structure without rigidity and support without punishment. When you shift away from a controlling diet and toward flexible dieting, your body can finally exhale.
