let’s work together
Nutrition for the menopause transition and beyond
During the menopause transition, changes to hormone levels affect our heart health, bone health, digestion, and more. We can help you understand the changes that are normal to experience during this time and how nutrition can support you through perimenopause and beyond.
We take a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach to health and nutrition because I know you have better things to do with your time and energy than go on another diet. Our work together will focus on realistic, health-behaviour changes instead of counting calories and weekly weigh-ins – because health is so much more than a number on a scale.
A Healthy Diet and Menopause
Nutrition can support your health during perimenopause
While everyone has a different experience during the menopause transition, nutrition can improve symptoms and reduce disease risk.
We can support with the following:
- Weight and shape changes. Understand the changes that are normal during menopause and get off the dieting roller coaster for good. Learn to eat to feel energized and support your health.
- Heart health. Learn what foods to add to your eating pattern to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Bone health. Learn how to get enough calcium, vitamin D and other key nutrients to reduce bone loss.
- Digestive concerns. Manage bloating, constipation and other digestive symptoms so they don’t negatively affect your quality of life.
- Hot flashes, night sweats and chills. Although hormone therapy and non-hormonal medications are the most effective treatments for hot flashes, specific dietary patterns may help reduce these symptoms while supporting overall health.
- Metabolic health. Learn how to adjust meal timing, spacing and composition to help you manage blood sugar and energy levels.
- Menstrual flow changes. Learn how to get enough iron in your diet and what supplement is right for you to improve iron deficiency and anemia
- Sleep disturbances. Learn how to experiment with meal timing and composition to help manage the effects of poor sleep and contribute to good sleep hygiene practices.
- Stress and mood changes. Learn mindful eating practices and other coping strategies to prevent stress from affecting digestion and causing problematic eating.
- Urogenital changes. Learn how nutrition can be supportive of your current treatment options.
