Keto and Perimenopause: Managing Symptoms Through Diet
Perimenopause brings hormonal fluctuations, weight changes, and challenging symptoms. Keto addresses insulin resistance and inflammation — two key drivers of perimenopausal discomfort.
How Keto Helps
Reduced insulin resistance, less visceral fat, stable blood sugar, lower inflammation, and improved sleep quality are all perimenopausal benefits of keto.
Hormone-Supportive Nutrition
High dietary fat ensures the cholesterol precursors for progesterone are available. Omega-3s reduce inflammation. Adequate protein preserves muscle mass during this transition.
Exploring HRT Alongside Keto
Many women benefit most from combining keto with appropriate HRT. Discuss this with your GP — both interventions are complementary.
