My Juicing Journey: Why I Started and How It Changed Everything
Perimenopause hit me hard. After having two kids in two years, I was exhausted, my weight had crept up, my skin was dull, and my confidence was low. I felt like I had lost my spark.
That’s when I discovered juicing — and it completely changed my life. Right now, it’s also the perfect time to start your journey: you can save $120 on the Nama J2 with code EVIE20 at checkout, and use my code on all Nama items.
Juicing became more than a health habit; it became my tool for reclaiming my body, my energy, and my confidence. Over time, it helped me:
Lose 67 pounds naturally
Reduce inflammation
Support my liver and hormone balance
Regain energy and focus
Improve skin and hair health
Reduce perimenopause weight gain
I want to share my personal why, how juicing can help perimenopause symptoms, and the simple recipes I rely on every week.
Why Perimenopause Makes Weight Loss & Health So Challenging
If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you know how frustrating it can be:
Weight gain around the belly despite eating healthy
Slower metabolism
Water retention and bloating
Hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings
Inflammation and joint pain
All of this happens because:
Estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate
Cortisol rises with stress and inflammation
Insulin sensitivity changes
Digestion slows
For me, these changes were intensified after pregnancy and nursing, which left me nutrient-depleted and exhausted. I needed a natural solution that worked fast, and juicing was the answer.
Why Juicing Works for Perimenopause
Juicing is more than just drinking vegetables; it’s a therapeutic practice for hormone health and weight management.
Here’s why:
1. Instant Nutrient Absorption
Juicing removes the fiber and delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly to your cells.
During perimenopause, your digestion slows, making this supercharged nutrition invaluable.
2. Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation is a major factor in perimenopause weight gain, joint pain, and bloating.
Juices rich in greens, citrus, and anti-inflammatory herbs help calm the body naturally.
3. Supports Liver Detox
Your liver metabolizes estrogen and removes toxins. Juice supports your liver with:
Chlorophyll
Vitamin C
Magnesium
Potassium
Phytonutrients
This helps regulate hormones and reduce symptoms like hot flashes, bloating, and mood swings.
4. Balances Cortisol
Stress spikes make fat loss nearly impossible. Juicing provides a natural, nutrient-rich way to calm the nervous system.
5. Helps with Weight Loss
When hormones stabilize, inflammation decreases, and metabolism improves — weight loss becomes easier and more sustainable.
My Personal Results: 67 Pounds Lost After 2 Kids
I won’t sugarcoat it: losing weight in perimenopause isn’t the same as in your 20s or 30s. But juicing made it realistic. Here’s how:
Daily green juice: Gave me energy without caffeine or sugar
Consistent nutrient intake: Helped cravings disappear
Liver-supporting juices: Reduced bloating and water retention
Anti-inflammatory recipes: Supported joint health and skin glow
Over 12 months, I lost 67 pounds while keeping my hormones balanced, my energy high, and my love for food intact. This wasn’t a fad diet — it was sustainable, enjoyable, and life-changing.
