What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

How’s your midlife nutrition?

Julie spent years treating her food choices as an afterthought…eating relatively healthy here and there, but also growing up in the Slim Fast era and constantly battling a major sweet tooth.

It wasn’t until she started going through peri-menopause and put on a few pounds that she realized her nutrition needed a lot more of her attention.

Julie Gordon White is joining us on the show today. She is the founder and CEO of MenoWell, which creates energy & protein bars specially formulated for women through their menopause journey.

In this conversation, Julie Gordon White shares her experience with perimenopause and the importance of nutrition during this stage of life. She discusses the symptoms she experienced, including cognitive fog and weight gain, and how these affected her professional life. Julie emphasizes the need to educate oneself about perimenopause and seek support from specialized healthcare providers. She highlights the importance of simplifying nutrition by focusing on whole foods, including protein and vegetables. Julie also discusses the development of her nutritional bar and the role it plays in providing a convenient and nutritious option for busy women.

Key Takeaways

  • Educate yourself about perimenopause and seek support from specialized healthcare providers.
  • Simplify nutrition by focusing on whole foods, including protein and vegetables.
  • Overcome food preferences and identity to explore new and nutritious options.
  • Develop convenient and nutritious options, such as nutritional bars, to support busy lifestyles.
