Dr. Ian Smith introduces nutrition strategies for menopause
Dr. Ian Smith has released a new book, ‘The New Menopause Kitchen: Targeted Nutrition to Help Fight Symptoms, Lose Weight, and Thrive in Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond’. The work focuses on using specific nutrients to manage common symptoms such as hot flashes, weight gain, bloating, and mood changes.
Smith identified several ‘midlife power nutrients’ that can support women during this transition, including magnesium, calcium, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins. The concept for the book originated from Smith’s observations in his online fitness and nutrition groups, where women requested a dietary plan specifically tailored to the physiological changes of perimenopause and menopause.
