Menopause & Perimenopause
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, defined as 12 months without a menstrual period. Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, can begin years earlier and is often accompanied by hormonal fluctuations that bring a range of symptoms. While these changes are normal, the symptoms can significantly impact quality of life, making personalised support essential.

The conventional approach
Conventional treatments for menopause and perimenopause often include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), antidepressants, or symptom-specific medications. While these can provide relief, they may not address the root causes of hormonal imbalances or provide holistic support for overall well-being.
Our approach
We take a personalised, integrative approach to menopause and perimenopause, focusing on restoring balance, addressing symptoms, and optimising overall health during this transformative phase of life. Michaela, our menopause and hormone expert, combines evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, individualised approach. Key elements include:
BALANCING HORMONES
Testing for hormonal imbalances, such as oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol, to guide personalised interventions.
Supporting hormone balance through tailored nutrition, supplementation, and, if appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT
Developing a diet rich in phytoestrogens, antioxidants, and essential nutrients to support hormonal health and reduce inflammation.
Correcting nutrient deficiencies, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, which are critical during menopause.
MANAGING SYMPTOMS NATURALLY
Using targeted herbs and adaptogens, such as black cohosh, ashwagandha, and maca, to alleviate symptoms like hot flushes, fatigue, and mood swings.
Supporting sleep quality and stress resilience with lifestyle recommendations and relaxation techniques.
BONE & HEART HEALTH
Addressing bone density and cardiovascular health through targeted nutrition and exercise strategies to reduce long-term risks
GUT & BRAIN AXIS SUPPORT
Enhancing gut health, which plays a critical role in hormone metabolism and mental well-being
REDUCING INFLAMMATION & OXIDATIVE STRESS
Using targeted nutrition and supplementation to manage systemic inflammation, a major driver of cognitive decline
This comprehensive approach not only alleviates symptoms but also empowers women to thrive through menopause and beyond.
