Summer has a way of making midlife women feel like they've lost ground.Â
But what they've actually lost is the hormonal buffer that used to make body image a quieter conversation.
As estrogen declines, body composition shifts, mood regulation becomes more effortful, and the nervous system grows more reactive to external triggers. For clients with any history of disordered eating or body image distress, summer can pull on threads that had been tucked away for years.
The clinical opportunity here is real. When you understand the physiology driving the distress, you can help clients replace a story built on self-blame with one built on biology. This can be a huge and powerful shift.
If all of this feels unfamiliar to you, buy my course, Beyond Nutrition. For $285, you’ll get:
👉3.5 CPEs for dietitiansÂ
👉2-hour on-demand course
👉30-minute consult with me

Disordered eating in midlife doesn't always arrive with a history or a diagnosis.
Sometimes it looks like a client who has gotten very controlled around food at a time when everything else feels out of control.
The hormonal shifts of perimenopause don't just affect weight and sleep.
They directly influence the neurotransmitters and hunger hormones that regulate mood, stress response, and the brain's relationship with food, creating the physiological conditions for disordered patterns to emerge or resurface.
Recognizing that connection is part of your clinical edge.
It moves the conversation from behavior change to biological context and helps you know when her care needs to extend beyond nutrition into hormonal and medical support.
My 2-hour on-demand course ($285) is designed to help you, as a dietitian, improve your ability to support midlife clients with challenges like this.

My personal journey with hormone therapy drove me to support women and clinicians in this space as well.
While my journey is unique to me, as yours is to you, I’ve prioritized my education and training so I can combine the empathy I feel for clients going through what I went through with clinical knowledge to help them feel better too!
Which is why I am a Registered Dietitian, Nurse Practitioner, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
Here are a few ways I’m supporting folks right now:
👉🏼 In my private practice. DM me here or message me at robynkievit.com.
👉🏼 In my course, created for dietitians supporting midlife clients.
👉🏼 On my podcast, The NPRD. Season 5 just kicked off at the end of March!
