Slow Cooker Turkey Chilli

Poor concentration & memory are typical symptoms of the menopause and may indicate a deficiency in B12.

B12 is only found in meat, fish or eggs but not all animal products offer the same nutrient profile.

Always ask your butcher if your meat is grass-fed, organic & sustainably raised. It will have a higher nutrient content than conventional (grain-fed) meat.

3/4 of your plate should still be made up of plants, but good quality meat can absolutely be part of a healthy diet for women during peri/post menopause.
