You Are More Than What You Eat: Primary Foods & Your Perimenopause Reset

Coach Jaime
Did you know that what you eat is only part of the health picture—especially during perimenopause? While nutrition matters, there's another type of nourishment that often gets overlooked: primary foods. These are the areas of your life that feed you outside of the kitchen—like your relationships, creativity, finances, joy, and sense of purpose. During perimenopause, when your body is already navigating hormone fluctuations and increased stress sensitivity, neglecting these vital areas can actually amplify your symptoms, even if you're eating all the "right" foods. What if, instead of asking "What should I eat?", you also asked "What in my life is nourishing me right now?" Discover the 12 areas of primary foods and a simple five-step reset exercise that helps you identify which parts of your life need attention—without the pressure of doing it all at once.

Meet Coach Jaime

Let me introduce myself!
My name is Jaime. I am a Christian wife and mom to 2 humans and 2 furry children. After being a middle school teacher for 17 years, I switched directions to go into the field of health and wellness. I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I also have certifications in aromatherapy and menopause coaching. Beyond my passion for health and wellness, you can catch me walking, baking, scrapbooking or sewing. 

In the midst of my teaching career, I started to experience a lot of health concerns. My hormones were tanking and I felt terrible. I jumped from doctor to doctor with each one prescribing a new medication that didn't seem to help. I had a full hysterectomy at the age of 39 which threw me into menopause. With little help or guidance from doctors, I started doing my own research which lead to me becoming a health coach. (I guess "rabbit holes" can have benefits!!) I am proud to say that I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been!  
My health journey hasn't been easy, but it has been a learning experience that I am grateful for! 

I don't want women to have to go through their perimenopause/menopause journey alone and confused, like I did. I don't want women to feel like they have no options. I don't want women to learn the hard way the things that really make a difference for their health. I want women to have the knowledge, support, tools and confidence to take control of their health.
 
If you are in perimenopause or post menopausal, I want to support, encourage, and empower you during this time. This is not a time for suffering, rather it is a time for powerful change!!
