An evening of good food, real conversation + feeling powerful in your next chapter.
About this Event

There’s a lot of noise around protein and perimenopause right now.

How much do I need? Am I getting enough? Should I be tracking it? Do I need to add protein to every meal?

Join Elisa Kosonen, RHN, CHC of for an intimate evening at , supported by , as we take some of the pressure out of the conversation around perimenopause and focus instead on what helps women feel strong, energized and good in their bodies.

Using protein as a starting point, Elisa will unpack what our bodies need during this stage of life and explore the bigger picture of nourishment — including protein, micronutrients like iron, energy, strength and resilience.

This isn't about another list of things women should be doing.

It's about understanding your body, cutting through the noise and finding simple, realistic ways to support yourself — without tracking every bite or making food another full-time job.

What to expect

Protein + perimenopause
Elisa will break down the role protein plays in midlife and answer the questions so many of us are asking.

The bigger picture
Explore the nutrients and everyday foundations that support energy, strength and resilience — including some of the micronutrients that can get overlooked.

Honest conversation
Make space for the questions, experiences and conversations that don't always happen in everyday life.

A little reflection
Instead of focusing on what you need to “fix,” we'll shift the conversation toward what you want more energy and capacity for — and how nourishment can help you get there.

Simple takeaways
Leave with practical ideas you can actually bring into your everyday life, without adding more overwhelm.
