Perimenopause
There are 34 recognised symptoms of peri-menopause including: irregular periods, itchy skin, depression, change in body odour, ringing ears (tinnitus), vertigo, problems sleeping, brain fog, joint pains and dry eyes. With or without the help of HRT, diet and lifestyle can make a huge change to how you transition through this period of your life.
Gut Health
Do you suffer from bloating, IBS symptoms or other undiagnosed gut problems? Do you have irregular bowel movements or do you seem to react to certain types of food? Here is where analysing your food diary, potentially running some tests to remove the guess work and introducing a new food protocol could make a huge change to your life.
Fatigue
Are you tired all the time and rely on caffeine to see you through the day? Do you crave sweet foods? Do you experience a post-lunch slump in energy? It doesn’t have to be like this. Making small changes to your diet and lifestyle to balance your blood sugar levels is one area that can have a huge effect on your energy levels and I can show you how.
Hormone imbalances
Do you suffer from mood swings? Are you constantly tired but waking in the night? Do you have brain fog, irregular or heavy periods, a low sex drive or constipation? With the correct nutrition and lifestyle changes, hormonal health can be supported to stabilise mood, energy and all-round health to make you feel like you again.
Weight Gain
Are you slowly putting on weight and finding yourself regularly hungry in a bid to lose it? Do you feel tired just a few hours after eating? Is this affecting your confidence and leaving feeling miserable? Stop the yo-yo dieting and find out how to lose weight for good without the calorie counting.
Skin health
This can be a real reflection of what is going on in your gut. Stress, environmental toxins, processed foods, allergies and an unbalanced gut microbiome can all have an impact on your skin and show up as eczema, acne, rosacea or other skin disorders.
I love skin….and changing your diet and lifestyle can make a real difference on the outside!
Anxiety
Have you found since hitting your 40's, your anxiety levels are changing and affecting your everyday life? Do you find yourself often crying for no reason or feeling full of rage and anger. Maybe you're struggling with general everyday life and don't even want to leave the house. Don't suffer in silence, food and lifestyle can have a huge effect on mood and brain health which I can advise on.
Thyroid Health
The thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland in the front of your neck. Its main purpose is to produce hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism and if not working correctly can affect many parts of your health including weight, body temperature, brain function and fertility. Food and lifestyle choices can hugely impact thyroid health which I can advise on.

TESTING
If deemed appropriate, additional testing may be required. Testing can be a handy tool in assessing any biochemical imbalances in your body. From the results, we can build a targeted nutritional program.
SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements can be a useful therapeutic tool for optimising health. If appropriate, I might recommend adding them to your programme. I use the latest research to select high-quality supplements, ensuring that they will not interact with any medication that you might be taking.

SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements may be required from time to time. I always use the mantra ‘food first’, but I may recommend adding supplements to your programme from time to time. My goal for your health improvement is the primary focus. On occasions, selected high-quality supplements can strengthen the program outcomes. Thoroughly checked for possible interactions with prescription medicines, the supplements come with a clear recommendation.
