The female body after 40 needs
tailored nutrition & lifestyle
for your changing physiology
In these modern times, our bodies have different needs
Peri-menopause invites you to clean and love of your body.
Together we deep dive into your system to help you manage the well known symptoms like anxiety, moodswings, night sweats sleeplessness, hot flushes, fatigue, bone problems and lesser known problems which may surprise you:
Neurological and cognitive symptoms
Tinnitus, onset of hormonal migraine, changes in taste and smell.Skin, hair and connective tissue
Dry eyes and mouth (Sjögren-like symptoms) and a dry mouth, aging skin and itch (formication), sensitive or painfull teeth and gums, stif and painful .joints (frozen shoulder), loss of muscle tissue and strength (sarcopenia).Digestion and metabolism
Gut issues, constipation, gass, cramps (Irritatable Bowel Syndrome), insuline resistance and changing fatdistribution, which increases risk of metabolic syndrome.Heart and bloodvessels
Palpitations and skipped beats: A sudden rapid heartbeat or the sensation that the heart is skipping a beat can be very frightening, but during menopause it is very often caused by hormones stimulating the autonomic nervous system.Immune system and allergies
Development of new allergies or intolerances: Because estrogen modulates the immune system, some women notice in middle age that they suddenly react allergically to certain foods, pollen, dust mites, or cosmetics, or that existing asthma worsens. This is when histamine intolerance and the mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) often starts.
Manage your hormonal symptoms with the best nutrition and lifestyle choices
Next to the standard blood and urine tests, I work with HTMA, microbiome and DNA tests to see where the problems in your body starts, so we can solve the problems by the roots.
