Nutritional therapy support for weight changes during the menopause

What’s happening to your weight during the menopause, and how can nutritional therapy support you?

During perimenopause and the menopause, declining oestrogen can affect how your body responds to insulin, which may make blood sugar levels less stable and encourage more fat to be stored, particularly around the abdomen. Alongside this, many women notice fatigue, cravings for sugary or refined foods, disrupted sleep, bloating and mood changes, and find that eating and exercising in the way they always have no longer produces the same results. Your GP can advise you on the menopause and discuss any medical options, including HRT, that may be appropriate for you.

We use Metabolic Balance®, a personalised nutrition programme built from your own blood analysis rather than a generic diet plan, designed to work with a changing metabolism. It supports more stable blood sugar and insulin levels, healthy digestion and an anti-inflammatory way of eating based on real food rather than rigid rules — alongside your GP’s care and any HRT you may be using, never in place of it.

The process starts with a free discovery call, followed by a full review of your health, diet and lifestyle history and blood analysis. From there, our three-month programme includes six one-to-one consultations to support you as your plan evolves alongside your body’s changing needs.

Nutritional therapy is not a medical treatment, and we don’t claim to treat, cure or prevent the menopause. What we offer is personalised nutrition and lifestyle support for your general wellbeing — using ordinary, accessible food and practical guidance.
