Lifestyle change matters in Menopause (excerpt)
Start with nourishing your body through balanced, whole food nutrition. Focus on adding more colourful vegetables, leafy greens, healthy fats, quality proteins and fibre rich foods to your plate. These support hormone balance, energy and gut health. Reducing processed foods, sugar and alcohol helps to lower inflammation and stabilise mood and weight. Staying hydrated with water, herbal teas or electrolyte infused drinks can ease hot flushes, support skin elasticity and boost mental clarity.

Cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, can also become unbalanced during menopause. High cortisol levels, often triggered by chronic stress or poor sleep, lead to energy crashes, weight gain and brain fog. Combine this with a busy lifestyle, family demands or work stress and it’s no wonder so many women feel burnt out.

My own experience in Perimenopause (excerpt)
I remember booking an appt with my Dr, a woman I had been seeing for over 3 years and in that appt I told her, I was experiencing debilitating anxiety, once a month for a week leading into my period. In the entirety of that appointment and consecutive appointments, not once did we discuss perimenopause or menopause or the future possibility of it. I left that initial appointment with a prescription for anxiety medication.
