If you are experiencing Menopausal Symptoms
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
According to the British Menopause Society 80-90% of females will experience some type of symptoms and 25% of women will find them debilitating
Menopause used to be something that wasn’t talked about and women were left to get on with it
There was no support and no guidance
You may have been prescribed an anti-depressant, or at best hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
That was the old way…
Thankfully a lot has changed…

The old way could leave you feeling anxiety & overwhelmed
You may feel like you have tried all the supplements and done all the right things but nothing seems to help with your symptoms
- HRT may not have given you the total relief that you expected – Whilst it may help with some symptoms, it may not work for all… It may also be something you choose not to take or don’t get on with
There may be a better way…
This new way could help you to;
– Manage your symptoms in a way that works for your body and also supports your long term health
– Increases your energy, motivation and sense of wellbeing
– Helps you to feel in control of your body and feel your best again
When my clients find me they are typically experiencing overwhelm and confusion around what to eat and what supplements to choose, they have low energy, brain fog, poor quality sleep and often many more symptoms that mean they are not feeling themselves anymore… and all of this makes managing stress levels even harder
THIS IS THE NEW WAY – THE POWER THROUGH PERIMENOPAUSE PROGRAMME

This makes me so happy! 🥰

This lovely lady came to me with perimenopausal symptoms that were affecting her work, and her quality of life
.
She needed support to make changes to her diet and lifestyle that could help her to manage her health and hormones
.
As well as to help her to address IBS symptoms
.
Functional and DNA testing allowed us to personalise the approach and address imbalances that were affecting her health and wellbeing
.
She introduced changes over time with some really positive results
.
Improved energy and mental clarity enabled her to better cope with a demanding job (a promotion 😀) and a busy life
.
And she was finally able to manage her gut health symptoms ✅
.
“Gail’s empathetic approach and great knowledge and professionalism was second to none. I never felt pushed into anything and truly valued her persistent yet kind approach to getting the learnings through while recommending the best course of treatment” 😍

IRON DEFICIENCY?
.
If you are low in iron or ferritin (stored iron) you may be experiencing fatigue
.
Some of the reasons you may have low iron are;
- if you are experiencing heavy periods or flooding (common in perimenopause)
.
- If you have compromised gut health
.
- Or your diet is low in iron
.
Low levels of iron are also associated with these symptoms
.
❌ Poor concentration
❌ Low mood and anxiety
❌ Light headedness
❌ Headache
❌ Pale skin
❌ Sore tongue
❌ Shortness of breath
.
These types of foods are rich in Iron
.
✅ Liver
✅ Red meat, poultry, & seafood
✅ Green leafy vegetables such as spinach & kale
✅ Nuts and seeds especially sesame seeds & pumpkin seeds
✅ Beans and pulses such as lentils & kidney beans
✅ Dried apricots
.
Eating these foods with vitamin C rich foods (citrus, bell peppers, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries) can help to absorb the iron
.
You may also need to take a supplement to increase their iron levels
.
If in doubt, seek the advice of a health care practitioner

Making the most of my time on the train today, reading the new book by @saragottfriedmd The Autoimmune Cure
.
Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis are on the rise
.
I have had my own personal experience of with Hashimoto’s and psoriasis…
.
Many of my midlife clients come to me with these types of conditions too, either newly diagnosed or with increased symptoms with the changes of hormones in perimenopause
.
Personalised nutrition and lifestyle interventions could help you to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life
.
I am looking forward to being able to share some of Dr Sara’s wisdom and new research with my clients, and maybe with you too
.
Have you been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in midlife or suspect you may have one?
.
Get in touch if you would like to find out more 😀

Struggling with sleep and anxiety, is it still okay to drink coffee?
.
POV: adding collagen to your morning coffee adds protein and may reduce increases in stress hormones ✅
.
Also, Drinking coffee after breakfast and not on an empty
stomach ✅
.
And, Using a mycotoxin free coffee ✅
.
If like me, you are a slow processor of caffeine, meaning it hangs around in your system longer, it is best to avoid coffee and caffeine in the afternoon and evening
.
How do you know if you are a slow processor? DNA health testing can tell you or you could go by your symptoms
.

Did you know that taking a short brisk walk after a meal could help to manage your blood glucose levels?
.
Research has found that just a few minutes walking may be beneficial for health AND 15 minutes could help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
.
This may be especially important for females during perimenopause and beyond as we often become less efficient as regulating our blood sugar levels during this life stage
.
Incorporating this habit into your daily routine could also help to increase energy levels and prevent food cravings
.
Additionally, healthy blood sugar regulation may help you to manage your menopausal symptoms more effectively
.
If you can’t get out for a walk, dancing or a few minutes of squats should also do the trick
.

Another top tip to master you midlife sleep quality
.
Sleep is often disrupted for females as hormones fluctuate and change in perimenopause
.
Many biochemical processes happen during sleep and are therefore if disrupted or we don’t get enough good quality sleep these processes can be interrupted…
.
Detoxification, hunger hormones, and brain health can all bring affected
.
Midlife and perimenopause, is the time to put healthy habits in place to do all we can to protect your sleep
.
To protect your health and help to manage symptoms
.
These habits start from the beginning of every day with morning light
.
Getting outside (without sunglasses) for around 5- 20 minutes, depending on the time of year, can help to support your sleep wake cycle
.
Morning light triggers the right biochemical processes to take place that help us to sleep at night
.
Dimming lights when it gets dark could also help
.
Ideally, we would avoid screens after 9 pm too, however, blue light blocking glasses may be helpful if you can’t avoid this
.
Follow for more midlife health tips and Go back to my last post about how the timing of your evening meal matters for sleep too

A simple but top tip for getting better sleep
.
For one of my clients this has been an absolute game changer
.
She has a busy life with a demanding job but whenever she can she now has her evening meal earlier
.
Ideally at least 2.5-3 hours before bed (1030 pm)
.
Changing this one thing has been so effective that she no longer wakes at 3am and has been able to get 7 hours of sleep a night instead of her typical 5 and half hours!
.
Try it and see if it works for you
.
What you eat during the day can also affect how you sleep
.
So aim to keep manage blood glucose levels by eating protein, fibre and a small amount of healthy fats with each meal
