WORLD MENOPAUSE MONTH
Weight gain, brain fog, bloating, poor sleep… sound familiar during Menopause ?
As a naturopath going through menopause naturally, these are 5 things I personally focus on to support my hormones, metabolism & wellbeing.
1. Gut Health - daily probiotics & prebiotic fibre to support my digestion and the estrobolome, which helps regulate oestrogen metabolism.
2. To help with Weight Gain & Metabolism
Focus on Creatine, protein, fibre & strength training to maintain muscle and support metabolism. I also use myo-inositol for metabolic support.
3. To help with Brain Fog, Sleep & Stress i focus on
Omega-3 fish oil, magnesium glycinate & L-theanine to support brain health, relaxation & sleep.
I prioritise quality sleep to help with memory & concentration.
4. My Diet, to help with Hot Flushes & Vaginal Health.
A Mediterranean-style diet, less alcohol, sugar & histamine triggers. Sea buckthorn oil may help vaginal moisture & vaginal probiotics.
5. Lymphatic Drainage & Fluid Retention
I regularly do Lymphatic massage, Pilates, walking & hydration to encourage my healthy lymph flow, circulation & reduce puffiness.
Menopause isn’t about taking endless supplements. It’s about knowing what your body needs.
My focus is on feeling strong, maintaining a healthy weight, supporting my brain & gut health and ageing well.
