Women’s Health

As a nutritional therapist (and a woman!), I understand the complexity of the female body and how important it is to maintain our fine hormonal balance.

Since we enter adolescence, our hormones form part of our daily life. However, they are not limited to oestrogen and progesterone, that would be way too simple! We rely on a series of very complex interactions between glands to ensure optimal health: the adrenals produce cortisol that can affect your thyroid function and both can influence oestrogen levels. A healthy gut plays an extremely important role in balancing our hormones as it is in charge of excreting the excess hormones that the liver has metabolised. 

In clinic, I specialise in helping women improve hormonal imbalances like PCOS, endometriosis, low libido, PMT, peri and meno-pause, address weight gain and improve energy levels as well as supporting their liver to detox toxins and excess hormones, 

My approach is very personalised and based on the functional medicine principles that investigate each and every system in the body to address the imbalances contributing to the health concern.

Areas I can help you with:

• Thyroid, adrenals, hypothalamus/pituitary
• PMT, amenorrhea, menorrhagia, peri-menopause, menopause
• Endometriosis, PCOS, fertility, fibroids, polyps
• Food sensitivities & intolerances
• Stress and fatigue/low energy
• Digestive and gut concerns including IBS, IBD, SIBO.
• Food cravings
• Headaches, migraines and mood

I offer a FREE 15-minute consultation to discuss whether Nutritional Therapy can help you and to introduce my personalised approach to dit and nutriention. You can also read a detailed description of our Consultation Process here.
