Nourish, Then Flourish
Nourish, Then Flourish
You tried all the things Chat GPT told you for weight gain, brain fog, and exhaustion.
You cut out certain foods to try work out the latest food intolerance you’ve developed.
You tried juicing, ‘Fix your hormones in 30 days’, ‘Lose 10kg in 6 weeks’ but the weight gain just won’t shift.
You’re wondering why your body is not responding the way it used to.
Your brain fog has become completely embarrassing – during conversations, you can’t even remember basic words, even when you can see them in your head! They Just. Don’t. Come. Out. Your. Mouth.
You’ve been waking in the early hours, sometimes covered in sweat.
No matter how little carbs you eat, or how much exercise you do, the ‘tyre around your middle’ just won’t budge.
You get really overwhelmed by things that once felt manageable, which makes you anxious because you’ve realise you’re not coping with everyday things anymore ago.
Your cycle has become very unpredictable, very heavy, and very annoying – your favourite pair of jeans got completely ruined twice in the last six months.
You’re often completely exhausted. You’ve hit a wall of fatigue.
And somewhere in all this, you stopped feeling like you.
You just want to feel clear-headed, light and alive again.
You know that there is no silver bullet, none of the short-term fixes worked.
You know you need something that covers all those things you need help with, someone to help you make sense of it all.

nourish (verb):
to thrive, to grow, to be in one’s prime, to succeed, to triumph
(Oxford English Dictionary)
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.
Because all hormones are connected to one another, the decline of oestrogen and progesterone have a huge impact in how your body handles things such as stress, sleep, mood, metabolism, energy, and your microbiome.
Oestrogen loss reduces brain function, and progesterone loss reduces your ability to cope with stress, so life feels busier and harder.
Your metabolic health is not what it used to be – 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 definitely seem to have perimenopause weight gain – and it’s not just about disciplining yourself more to lose it.
The hormonal fluctuations cause sluggish, and sometimes unpredictable digestive processes, that once did their thing with no issues, and you’re often bloated or constipated.
But perimenopause is not something you can diagnose. And it’s not something you “fix” – it’s not an illness.
There’s actually nothing you can do to stop the natural process of perimenopause.
HRT might pause it but when you stop taking that, you’ll still have ‘oestrogen withdrawal’ symptoms, which is what all these symptoms are that you’re experiencing now.
Perimenopause through to menopause is a life transition that simply needs nurturing through the dramatic effects of a changing hormone profile going on in your body.
And with fully holistic support, you give your body, mind and soul the right resources to adapt to the new hormone levels.
