The three stages of Menopause
Perimenopause
Perimenopause can start up to 10 years before your periods stop. Your hormone (estrogen) will start to reduce in your late 30's or 40's and will continue until your ovaries have stopped releasing eggs. As this stage comes to an end, your periods can become irregular, light or heavy, longer or shorter. It is still possible to concieve during this period.
Menopause
The Menopause stage offically starts when you haven't had a period for one year. This will usually happen in your late 40's or 50's. To get a good gage on when it might be, ask your Mother when she had hers.
Postmenopause
This stage is definded as the years after your menopause where your oestrogen levels are now lowered and no longer being produced by the ovaries. Due to this, you are now at a increased risk for some health conditions which include cardiovascular disease and osterporosis so its still important to stick to your healthy diet in this stage.

First things first. Exactly what is nutritional therapy?
Your plan will be based on the latest nutritional science using food, supplements, and realistic habitual changes to guide you back to feeling like YOU.
This is a form of complimentary medicine - nutritional therapy is relevant for lots of different people. From those who suffer from chronic conditions, to those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing - and everywhere in between.
Nutritional therapy is not a replacement for medical advice, and ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms will always be referred to a medical professional.

Well, the official explanation that appears on the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (or BANT’s) website is “Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care.”
To get you to a place where you’re feeling healthy and well, a nutritional therapist (me!) will use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances, and understand how these may contribute to your symptoms or health concerns.
Then we'll discuss you health history, in a safe and unjudging atmosphere so I can create a nutritional plan or strategy to help combat these identified problems.
