A major hormonal shift in every woman's life, menopause heralds a time of new freedoms, potential, and empowerment. But it also often brings with it uncomfortable symptoms like brain fog, reduced libido, joint pain, constipation, and hot flashes. And even while eating and exercising as usual, most women experience frustrating weight gain--in and of itself a symptom that can make the other symptoms worse.

Food is a direct hormone regulator, so when our hormones shift, we must shift our menus as well. Toward that end, Dr. Anna Cabeca offers five unique, six-day eating plans that put a "pause" on the use of symptom-exacerbating ingredients. Depending on the symptoms you're experiencing, choose from:

- The Keto-Green Extreme Plan pauses inflammatory foods for an overall reduction in menopause symptoms.
- Keto-Green Plant-Based Detox pauses animal proteins to stoke your metabolism, ease hot flashes, and reduce brain fog.
- The Carbohydrate Pause puts a temporary pause on all carbohydrates and sugar to help you break through a weight loss plateau, sleep better, and combat bloating.
- The Keto-Green Cleanse briefly pauses solids to gently restore and energize you, leading to greater energy and less joint pain.
- The Carbohydrate Modification Plan allows for the reintroduction of healthy but gluten-free carbohydrates to reduce restriction fatigue and maintain metabolic flexibility.
