Perimenopause & Menopause Support

Perimenopause is a natural transition, but for many women it can feel anything but straightforward.

Fluctuating hormone levels can affect sleep, mood, energy, weight, digestion, cognition, and overall wellbeing. Many women are told their symptoms are simply part of getting older, yet there are often practical strategies that may help improve quality of life and support healthy ageing.

As a naturopath and nutritionist, I work with women to better understand the changes occurring during perimenopause and menopause, helping them develop personalised nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies based on their individual needs.

Common Symptoms

Women commonly seek support for:

  • Hot flushes and night sweats

  • Poor sleep

  • Fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Mood changes

  • Anxiety

  • Weight gain

  • Increased abdominal fat

  • Joint aches and pains

  • Reduced stress resilience

  • Heavy or irregular periods

  • Low libido

  • Digestive changes

What Contributes To Symptoms?

Hormonal changes during perimenopause affect far more than the reproductive system.

Declining and fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels can influence:

  • Blood sugar regulation

  • Sleep quality

  • Nervous system function

  • Bone health

  • Cardiovascular health

  • Muscle mass

  • Cognitive function

  • The gut microbiome

Other factors such as stress, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and digestive issues can also contribute to symptom severity.

How Naturopathic & Nutritional Medicine May Help

My approach focuses on identifying factors that may be contributing to symptoms and creating realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle.

Support may include:

Nutrition

  • Optimising protein intake

  • Improving blood sugar regulation

  • Supporting healthy body composition

  • Increasing fibre intake

  • Ensuring adequate calcium and key nutrients

Lifestyle

  • Sleep support

  • Exercise and resistance training guidance

  • Stress management strategies

  • Circadian rhythm optimisation

Nutritional Supplements & Herbal Medicine

Where appropriate, evidence-informed supplements and herbal medicines may be considered to support symptom management, energy production, stress resilience, sleep quality, and healthy ageing.

Common Areas We May Investigate

Depending on your presentation, assessment may include review of:

  • Iron status

  • Vitamin B12

  • Vitamin D

  • Thyroid function

  • Blood glucose regulation

  • Lipid markers

  • Hormonal testing where appropriate

  • Digestive health
