Eating Disorders Don't End at Adolescence
Midlife — including perimenopause and post-menopause — brings distinct physiological, emotional, and body-image challenges. Many people assume eating disorders only affect teenagers, yet research shows a significant risk in women aged 40–60, as well as men experiencing midlife transitions.
We offer specialized nutrition care for this stage, addressing hormonal changes, muscle/bone shifts, and re-emerging body-image or disordered-eating concerns.
Who We Support
Individuals in their 40s, 50s, 60s facing new or recurring disordered-eating patterns
Perimenopausal/post-menopausal people experiencing body-shape changes, weight stigma, or muscle loss
Clients with a history of eating disorders now coping with hormonal shifts, aging, or chronic illness
Men and people assigned male at birth navigating muscle loss, testosterone decline, body-image anxiety
Our Approach
We adapt evidence-based ED frameworks and nutrition strategies to midlife realities:
Focus on nourishment, muscle/bone support, metabolic shift awareness
Use Intuitive Eating and Eating Competence to support body trust through change
Address emotional/cultural pressures around aging, appearance, and health
Coordinate with care teams (gynecology, endocrinology, primary care) for holistic support
