Part 1:
If you’re 50+ and menopause has turned your body into a stranger, this one’s for you. I just started a new daily routine and I’m documenting the whole journey right here — the good, the real, and everything in between.

Part of it involves a gelatin drink protocol my friend Thomas has been testing with some seriously impressive results. I’m adapting it for my own body and we’re going to find out together what happens.

This is Day 1. Follow along for the updates.

“Based preloads can be a practical tool for bariatric patients who struggle with portion control,” says Sean Thompson, a Northampton-based dietitian with a 4.99-star rating across 385+ reviews. “But I always tell clients: the foundation is still protein-first meals and mindful eating. Think of the gelatin trick as training wheels, not the whole bike. And if you have kidney concerns, check with your doctor — excessive gelatin can be protein overkill.”

Sean specializes in accessible, evidence-based nutrition for individuals with disabilities and those navigating post-surgical diets. She holds dual master's degrees from Tufts University and approaches care without a weight-centric lens.
