The goal of this podcast is to empower you to take control of your perimenopause & menopause symptoms with nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, research and hormones (if that's what you choose to do) so you can thrive through this phase of your life.
No topic is off limits because I'm on a mission to banish the stigma of menopause by talking about it openly and honestly.

Ep #122: From Diet Culture to Self-Care: Tackling Body Image in Perimenopause and Menopause with Cindy Spratt
In this interview, Andrea Donksy, nutritionist, soon to be published Menopause Researcher, Menopause Educator, and co-founder of Morphus, opens up about her struggles with eating disorders and her experience with diet culture with our guest Cindy Spratt. Cindy is a registered holistic nutritionist and eating psychology counselor who specializes in helping individuals navigate their relationships with food, particularly during the challenging transitions of perimenopause and menopause.
Key Takeaways:
- Personal Transformation: Cindy shares her journey from struggling with disordered eating as a competitive gymnast to becoming a professional dedicated to helping others navigate their food relationships.
- Impact of Societal Pressures: The interview highlights how societal standards of beauty and media portrayals can negatively affect women’s body image, especially during hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause.
- Focus on Self-Acceptance: Cindy emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and encourages women to prioritize health over what the scale says, suggesting practices like journaling and engaging in creative activities like dance to improve body image.
- Education as Empowerment: Understanding the natural changes during perimenopause and menopause can help women recognize that weight gain is often expected. This empowers them to embrace their bodies and mental health and reframe how they judge themselves.
- Seeking Professional Support: For those struggling with body image issues or disordered eating, Cindy advocates seeking professional help to foster healing and develop a healthier relationship with food and self-perception.
