I'm taking some time off in August to rest and recharge so I'll be switching off from social media for a little while.

Thank you for all your support, and I'll be back with fresh energy on 1st September!

Have a wonderful August and don't forget to take some time to slow down and recharge too. 👣☀️💚

Do you struggle with heavy or painful periods, breast tenderness, bloating, PMS, migraines, mood swings or stubborn weight gain?

It may not just be about how much oestrogen you have, but also how well your body processes and removes it.

In this carousel, I explain the three stages of oestrogen metabolism using a simple 'putting the bins out' analogy.

Supporting your liver and gut with the right nutrition can help your body process and eliminate used oestrogen more efficiently, supporting healthy hormone balance.

Let's talk about fibre.

It's one of the most important nutrients you can eat, yet many women aren't getting enough.

Fibre does far more than support regular bowel movements. It helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, supports healthy blood sugar balance and feeds your beneficial gut bacteria. During perimenopause and menopause, fibre is particularly important for hormone balance. It helps the body efficiently eliminate used oestrogen via the bowel, preventing it from being reabsorbed and potentially contributing to symptoms associated with oestrogen dominance. Eating enough fibre can also support cardiovascular health which becomes increasingly important after menopause.

The good news? Increasing your fibre intake doesn't have to be complicated. Small changes, such as adding more vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and wholegrains to your meals, can make a big difference.

Here are some fibre-rich foods to help you get started.

Weight-loss injections are one of the biggest health conversations right now, including for women in midlife.

For some people they can feel like a huge relief - quieter appetite, fewer cravings and weight loss that finally feels possible again. However they’re powerful metabolic tools and there’s a lot that often isn’t discussed about how they affect digestion, nutrition, muscle and long-term health.

They’re not inherently good or bad, but how you support your body while using them really matters.
In the blog I explain how these medications work, the benefits people often experience, the potential downsides and how to protect your health if you decide to use them.

Despite being essential for health, choline is one of the most overlooked nutrients. Your body can produce some of its own, but the majority comes from food - primarily animal sources such as meat, fish, and liver, with eggs being one of the richest sources, providing around 150 mg of choline per egg.

Choline is vital for brain function, memory, mood, liver health, fat metabolism and cell communication. For many women, brain fog, anxiety and low energy start appearing around perimenopause. Could choline deficiency be playing a part?

Oestrogen activates a gene called PEMT, which allows the liver to produce choline. As oestrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, PEMT activity decreases, meaning your body makes less choline and you need to get more from your diet. If you have a PEMT gene variant, your ability to produce choline is already reduced, and declining oestrogen will only worsen this. This is especially important if you’re vegan, as plant foods contain much lower amounts of choline.

🧬 Knowledge is power! Understanding your PEMT status allows you to adjust your diet and consider supplementation, particularly through perimenopause and menopause, to support brain health and energy. If you’d like to explore your PEMT gene and discover how your genetics might be contributing to your menopausal symptoms, get in touch to learn more about my genetic testing options.
