Paula Fenegan Nutrition Support for Menopause
I specialise in providing nutrition support for Menopause and Perimenopause, in Honiton East Devon. Consultations can also be online via Zoom.
As a Nutritionist, I know the effects good nutrition can have on your symptoms. Whether that’s combating bloating, weight gain, brain fog or the constant tiredness. How we support our bodies during the Menopause is so important to reduce the impact of the symptoms. We really need to value our self-care in order to support healthy ageing.
I use an approach that looks at you holistically, so that I can see your current state of health and what adjustments may be necessary. I take a non-judgmental look at your diet, lifestyle and environmental factors, which all play a significant part in our physical and emotional wellbeing. All health starts in the gut. This is particularly important at Menopause. If you are on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), then you need an optimally functioning gut in order to absorb it properly.
Nutrition Coaching in just 21 Days
I promote a 21 Day Nutrition Kickstart Programme that works on your gut health. If your gut isn’t healthy and is out of balance, so will all the other systems of the body. They are all interlinked. The bloating, digestion problems, sleep issues and even depression symptoms that can appear at Menopause, due to the change in hormones, can appear worse. However, it doesn’t have to be like this. The 21 Day Programme is a proven system that has helped many people deal with all sorts of issues from IBS to insomnia. There is more information below, but if you would like to find out more about a nutrition-based approach, contact me on the link below for a FREE 15min consultation to see how I can support you.
The Importance of Nutrition During Menopause
The hormonal changes of menopause can affect your mood, bones, and energy levels. A healthy diet packed with essential nutrients can help you manage these shifts and thrive.
- Balance Hormones Naturally: Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, phytoestrogens (like soya), and magnesium can help reduce hormonal imbalances.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: High-fibre foods, lean proteins, and wholegrains keep you feeling full and energised.
- Support Bone Health: Calcium and vitamin D are key to keeping bones strong and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
- Protect Your Heart: Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables support cardiovascular health, which is especially important during menopause
Why Gut Health is Essential for Women in Midlife
Your gut health influences nearly every part of your wellbeing, especially during the menopause transition. Often called the “second brain,” the gut impacts hormone regulation, mood, and immunity The gut and brain are connected by a nerve called the Vagus Nerve
- Hormone Metabolism: A healthy gut microbiome plays a role in breaking down and managing oestrogen, reducing common menopause symptoms.
- Boost Immunity: Gut-friendly foods such as live yoghurts and fibre-rich vegetables promote a healthy immune system.
- Improve Mood: The connection between the gut and brain (the gut-brain axis) means better digestion can help reduce stress and improve mental clarity.
Gut health is important in order to help the body to absorb any HRT that you may be taking. This system is only two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract from top to bottom.
It is home to a diverse number of gut bacteria, that work with your body to create your neurotransmitters. In fact, 95 % of your serotonin( the happy hormone) which influences your mood and GI activity, is created in the gut by bacteria. They also create chemicals that help both with physical and mental processes such as learning, memory and mood. Clever little critters eh!
“A happy gut,equals a happy mind and body. It’s as easy as putting the right foods in your mouth.”
