Nourish, Then Flourish

You know you're in perimenopause when...

Your brain fog has become really embarrassing – you can’t even remember basic words during conversations, even when you can see them in your head! They Just. Don’t. Come. Out. 

You get really overwhelmed by things that once felt manageable, which then makes you anxious because you’ve realised that you’re not coping with everyday things anymore.

You’ve been waking in the early hours, sometimes covered in sweat, others you just cannot go back to sleep.

Your cycle has become very unpredictable, very heavy, and very annoying – you’ve ruined your favourite pair of jeans twice in the last three months.

You’re probably here because…

You tried all the things that ChatGPT told you for perimenopausal weight gain, but it didn’t actually help in the end.

You tried cutting out certain foods to work out the latest food intolerance you seem to have developed, but this doesn’t seem to make a difference to your symptoms.

You tried a few practitioners and tried other approaches, and you’re tired of starting again.

Until only very recently, your doctor had never spoke with you about high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and pre-diabetes as actual risks against your health – this was never the case before.

You want to feel clear-headed, light and alive again, but you know that it’s not going to be an overnight fix. 

You know you need some thing that will actually help, and someone to help you make sense of it all.

What changed and why nothing works like it used to

From around 35, your hormones begin their rollercoaster of fluctuation, up and down like a yo-yo. At this stage, you might not notice anything dramatic, maybe a couple of things you can take an over-the-counter remedy for to keep things under control.

By the time you reach 40, oestrogen and progesterone start an overall steady decline. Oestrogen loss reduces brain function, and progesterone loss reduces your ability to cope with stress, so life feels busier and harder. 

The decline of oestrogen and progesterone have a huge impact in how your body handles things such as stress, sleep, mood, metabolic health, digestion, energy, and even your microbiome.

When your body, mind and soul are nourished, every thing in your life feels so much better.

But perimenopause is not something you can diagnose. And it’s not an illness. It’s not something “to fix” because nothing is actually going wrong.

There’s nothing you can do to stop the natural process of perimenopause through to menopause. It is a life transition that needs nurturing through the dramatic effects of a changing hormone profile going on in your body. 

With fully holistic support, you give your body, mind and soul the right resources to adapt to the new hormone levels.
