Nourishing Her Midlife Rest: Body & Soul | Perimenopause, Holistic Nutrition & Life Coaching for Christian Women

by Bethany Thomson, RDN | Registered Dietitian & Functional Nutritionist for Christian Women in Midlife

Nourishing Her Midlife Rest: Body & Soul is a podcast for Christian women in their 40s and 50s navigating perimenopause, hormone shifts, exhaustion, burnout, and the changing rhythms of midlife. Hosted by Bethany Thomson, Registered Dietitian, functional nutritionist, and Christian life coach, this podcast blends functional nutrition, hormone health, whole-person wellness, and grace-filled encouragement to support women in body and soul. Some episodes are practical and educational—covering topics like perimenopause, hormones, fatigue, inflammation, nervous system support, digestion, stress, and nourishment in midlife. Others are more reflective and restorative, offering gentle conversations about rest, emotional healing, caregiving, faith, identity, and learning to live with greater steadiness and compassion in seasons of overwhelm. Whether you feel exhausted, disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or simply weary from carrying too much for too long, there is space for you here. Together, we’ll explore a gentler path toward nourishment, steadiness, and rest—body and soul. Learn more at: www.ingrainedliving.com
