Menopause cravings are no joke. One minute you are fine, the next you are elbow-deep in the biscuit tin, finishing the crisps, or pouring another glass of prosecco you did not really plan to have.

In this episode of Empower Your Menopause, coaches James and Juli break down what is really going on with cravings in midlife and why they often feel louder during perimenopause and post-menopause, especially around the holidays. Spoiler: it is not because you have no willpower.

You will learn:

  • Why shifting hormones, stress and sleep make cravings stronger in menopause
  • What different cravings, from chocolate to crisps to boozy treats, might be pointing to
  • A simple Cravings Compass framework to help you decode what your body and brain are asking for
  • Real-life holiday examples and kinder strategies so you can enjoy festive food without feeling out of control or waking up in January full of guilt

This is not a diet lecture and we are not taking away your chocolate. It is about understanding the signals behind your cravings so you can respond with more calm, confidence and choice.

Listen in, choose one craving moment to work on this week, and know that you are not the only one eyeing up the biscuit tin.
