Description
Using research-based information about nutrition, Jenn Salib Huber guides millions of women on an integrative path to alleviate their perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Night sweats, brain fog, and more can be managed with foods found in your own kitchen. She lays out the key ingredients that can support women in midlife and follows it with recipes that include the five key ingredients to help them thrive: Powerful soy and phytoestrogens, protein, calcium, omega-3 fats, and fiber. These ingredients are the featured players in such mouthwatering recipes as Ginger Squash Red Lentil Soup (good for protein and fiber), Spinach and Mozzarella Pita Pizza (a great source of calcium), Sweet Potato Salmon Cakes (filled with protein, calcium, and omega-3s), and even No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Tofu Pie for dessert (for soy and phytoestrogens). Using an intuitive-eating approach, Eat to Thrive During Menopause shows how nutrition for menopause health can be not only nourishing and satisfying, but healing and restorative too.

I really enjoyed this cookbook! I am not in menopause but my PMS/PMDD symptoms and low progesterone do mimic perimenopause symptoms at times so I was curious.
I love that this book featured many “Undiet It!” Callouts throughout the pages and promoted a balanced mindset towards food. It also suggested a “nutrition capsule” in the same vein as a capsule wardrobe. The idea is that you pick your personal faves in 5 categories (Soy, Protein, Fiber, Calcium, Omega-3s) and then mix and match. I thought this was a fun and unique concept compared to other cookbooks I’ve seen.
The recipes were mostly gluten-free and had plenty of vegetarian recipes too. Beautiful photos and many recipes I can’t wait to try - like sweet potato salmon cakes, berry chia jam, tofu pudding, potato chickpea curry, and more. Great cookbook!

Fantastic book for women in and on the way to menopause. The scientific/medical information was clearly communicated in plain language. The advice was easy to understand and very doable. I'm looking forward to making the recipes as they actually all look delicious. The book was laid out very well, and each recipe clearly denoted which health benefits they included.
Lisa Q, Reviewer
Well presented, easy to follow, informative and full of delicious recipes to support hormonal health.
I've read lots about menopause and diet, but this is one of the best that I've read in terms of explaining how different food elements support different hormones to improve overall health.
Recipes that are easy to cook, and compatible with a busy home life. Thank you!
Teri A, Reviewer
I've been a follower of menopause.nutritionist on Insta for ages so I'm definitely a fan and I jumped at the chance when the opportunity came up for me to preview her new book. Jenn is as delightful as she is practical, and she is SMART! Managing menopause symptoms using nutritious foods? Yes! But in a way that promotes a healthy body image and a realistic lifestyle. No fat shaming, no diet mentality, and no overwhelming rules. She's really good at what she does and there is no doubt that this book will have a huge impact on the lives of many women! Great advice plus some really amazing recipes that are so good you'll put them on repeat!
Thank you to NetGalley, Workman publishing, and Jenn Salib Huber for the advance review copy!
Thank you NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
I am not going through menopause yet, but this was a very interesting and eye opening read nonetheless.
Outlines and explains, in 3 parts, all the stages women go through during that time period in their life, whether it’s before (perimenopause), during menopause or after (postmenopause). Also talks in depth about the importance of nutrition during menopause, for both mental and physical health, as one’s body changes: your bones, your muscles, your cognitive health, your heart health.
This book also explains about the need for key ingredients, like proteins and fibre, to keep your body healthy and thriving. Most importantly it highlights the need to give yourself compassion during this tough transition period in your life.
Part 4 is dedicated to appetising recipes that are full of nutritious food that is needed during those periods of your life to help reduce symptoms, to help muscles, brain function and everything in between.
I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in October. This was very helpful without being diet cultury or antifat, like a lot of these help books tend to do. Although I knew going in that with my huge allergy list I will not be able to use most tips, I still got some things out of it I will definitely start applying. My perimenopausal symptoms have been hell and I need more than my hrt alone.

I found this book really useful and genuinely inspiring. The first section is packed with interesting, evidence-based information and explains the science clearly without being overwhelming. It gave me a much better understanding of what’s happening in the body and how to support it. The recipes are great too. They’re simple, tasty, and they actually work. This is a practical and uplifting book that I’ll definitely come back to.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book; it was highly informative. I will certainly recommend it to others. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.
As someone who isn’t in menopause but regularly teaches courses in health psychology and wellness to students from all walks of life (many of whom are navigating perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause) I was excited to see this book pop up.
I love when wellness books adopt a more holistic approach, and this book truly delivers on that. It doesn’t just discuss macros and calories; it also includes brain health, mindset, lifestyle, and even small myth-busting facts.
What I appreciated most is that the book isn’t just about food, it’s about agency.
About paying attention to your body, tuning into your needs, and making small, sustainable changes that add up.
I think this is an excellent resource if you're interested in intuitive eating (though I do recognize that might not be the best way of eating for all).
The recipes that I did try were great, again, these won't be for everyone as is the case with literally any cookbook in the whole world, but they're a great set!
Reviewer 1764704
This book should be handed to every woman approaching perimenopause or menopause. Eat to Thrive During Menopause is the comprehensive, practical guide so many of us have been searching for. There is truly no more mysterious destination than menopause—and it’s honestly wild how women are often expected to navigate it alone, spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on treatments and “solutions” that barely move the needle.
Personally, I’ve tried just about everything with little success. I turned to diet as a potential tool, but until now, I hadn’t found anything as clear, thoughtful, and empowering as this book. Jenn Salib Huber not only breaks down the stages and symptoms of menopause, but also explains why specific foods and nutritional strategies can relieve—and in some cases, even resolve—those symptoms.
I'm incredibly grateful to have discovered this book and will absolutely be gifting it to friends this Christmas.
Huge thanks to Jenn Salib Huber, Workman Publishing Company, and NetGalley for the ARC.
I have definitely found some good recipes that I will be trying. Thank you for the ARC copy of this. I found it very helpful
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a helpful and informative book. It would be a great start for someone who is new to this topic!
Very good book. So informative. It’s so hard to find good information online about this topic. This book was very useful. A lot of good recipes but even without them the informational part of the book was great!

Helpful dietary guidelines for women in menopause. And good, simple recipes to try!
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for access to this eARC.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
I love learning from other RDs as I am one myself. I follow her content and love that she came out with this great resource!
I love the non diet approach and supportive notes for hormone therapy. The sections were well organized and broke down important nutrients for specific menopause symptoms. I also loved the recipes! I haven't tried them yet but plan to. This cookbook is comprehensive, versatile in recipes and evidence based research to support it. The educational pieces and myth busting throughout the book were great. This is a wonderful resource for women who want to learn and lean into lifestyle changes to manage menopause.
