Wanna learn more about what is happening to your body if you are 45 or older? We have some answers! We are so excited to share this amazing new program with you on Little Green’s platform, Be the Change: Nourishing Ourselves Through Menopause.
Be the Change: Nourishing Ourselves Through Menopause is a revolutionary, life-changing paradigm shift on women’s menopausal health. We offer a holistic, positive, evidence-based, feminist and natural approach to perimenopause and menopause. The program is the intersection of the physiological changes of this transition and all things nutrition and lifestyle. We guide you in creating a foundation of health and wellness in your 40’s and 50’s to help you thrive now and to keep you vibrant long-term.

How is it going to work, and what is it all about? Be the Change: Nourishing Ourselves Through Menopause is a 3-month long educational program. During that time, you will receive 2 info-packed emails per week. We will explore food, exercise, herbs, supplements, stress management, and sleep and encourage you to make supportive changes. Some days we’ll have you do a little reading and other days we’ll talk about adding in certain foods or herbs and give you recipes. We’ll give you essential nutrients lists. We’ll tell you about herbs that can help various symptoms. There is music. There are videos. There are optional community-building zoom conversations and an email Discussion Group. We have handy PDF lists for those of you who want bullet points, and scientific explanations for those of you who want more.Registrations are open through Feb. 27th, and the course begins Monday, Feb. 28. Learn more here!

“I want to tell you how delighted and grateful I am for the class you are offering. Nearly every email that arrives I feel like, “Oh Thank GOD, we’re going to tackle THAT thing!!” Those emails are fantastic: just the right amount of info to take on board without getting overwhelmed, a recipe to encourage and always so pretty. Thank you both so much for the info you’re providing and the generous platform you provide for sharing from other women. Seriously – a total pleasure.” -Feb. 2022 participant

Our beloved Eliza Graham of Brookfield Wellbeing shared this medicinal infusion recipe with us! An herbal infusion is a large amount of dried herb (leaves or flowers) brewed for a long time. Infusions are an inexpensive and effective way of getting bioavailable, bone supportive vitamins and minerals into our diets. Here, we make it with stinging nettles, which is amazing for bone health, but you could also make it with red clover leaves or holy basil.
