24.01.2022 The reason I chose Menopausal women to work with is that I too, am a menopausal woman. I found that I was confused at what was happening to me and the changes I was going through, and it was difficult to find the information I needed to understand. Does this sound familiar? ... I have spent the last two and a half years reading and researching as much as I can about the menopause years, so that I can share reliable information with women who are confused, like I was.

22.01.2022 MEAL PLANNING...... Do you meal plan? Meal planning for yourself or your family has many benefits... For your health For your hip pocket And it keeps you organised as you know exactly what you need to buy and exactly what’s cooking in the kitchen! I tend to meal plan dinner during the week as that’s when we are most busy I sit down with recipe books, magazines (I often use @healthyfoodguide) and my laptop and write on a calendar what is happening that week and what we are eating I write out my shopping list as I make decisions How do you meal plan? I would love to know how others do it... Disclaimer ~ This is not something I do all the time as sometimes it feels all too hard! It does make life easier when I do it though, but I don’t beat myself up if it doesn’t get done!! #mealplanning #organised #recipes #healthy #budget #buyseasonal #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

22.01.2022 Weight gain in Menopause Weight gain is common as we reach the menopause years, particularly around the waist Studies have shown that weight gain is due to aging rather than menopause ... However, lower oestrogen influences fat metabolism and a redistribution of a different type of fat occurs around the waist, known as active fat or visceral fat, which can have a negative impact on our long term health If you want to know more, you can read about it in a blog that I wrote, link is in my bio #menopausesupport #menopausehelp #40plus #50plus #overforty #overfifty #oestrogen #midlifehealth #menopauseawareness #healthyaging #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

21.01.2022 SOY Did you know that soy products are phytoestrogens that can help with some symptoms such as hot flushes? Did you also know that they only work 1 in 3 women?... The reason is only 1 in 3 women have the specific type of gut bacteria to metabolise soy into a more potent form which would ease hot flushes. #soy phytoestrogens #guthealth #menopausesymptoms #40plus #50plus #hotflushes #menopausehelp #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

20.01.2022 Sleep disturbance during the menopausal years is a very common complaint by women, in fact, it is reported by 25% of women between the ages of 50-64 years. It can include not getting good quality sleep, difficulty falling and staying asleep, waking during the night and waking too early in the morning. We all know how that makes us feel, don’t we?

19.01.2022 Healthy Breakfasts This is one of my favorites and I even have it as a mid morning snack sometimes Yoghurt, fruit free muesli (I use Carman’s as I have IBS & Fructose intolerance), strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup... It is such a filling breakfast or snack full of goodness ~ Calcium, potassium, good fats, fibre, vitamin C & protein. Did you know that strawberries are high in vitamin C? In a 100g serve, strawberries will provide 45mg vitamin C, and a 100g serve of an orange will provide 52mg! #healthybreakfast #nourish #nutrients #goodfats #calcium #protein #vitaminc #potassium #fibre #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

19.01.2022 Midweek Inspiration! Did you move today? As we go through menopause we find that we are unable to exercise like we used to. Our energy levels are just not the same as they used to be. ...

15.01.2022 Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. -Brianna Wiest

14.01.2022 You can’t help others if you don’t fill your cup first.

13.01.2022 Midweek Inspiration! Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. I love this quote by Michael Pollan. ... There is a lot of evidence that supports eating a diet predominately of plants is good for our health as well as for our planet. Did you know that only 7% of the Australian population eat the recommended 5 serves of vegetables daily? #health #preventionisbetterthancure #plantfoods #vegetables #fruit #grains #nutsandseeds #vitamins #minerals #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

13.01.2022 Weight does not indicate the health status of a person. When we focus on our health ~ the 5 Pillars of Self Care ~ we address our overall health, physical, mental and emotional. We connect with how we feel, not how we look or what the number on the scale reads. When you are healthy, your weight will naturally reach its own set point, which is unique for you. ... Every body is different, and once you accept your body for what it is and let go of unrealistic ideals, you will feel the freedom from your thoughts and expectations. Having a prime focus on weight and how we look does not serve us well. It lowers our self esteem, confidence and feeds into feelings of guilt and disappointment. Our bodies go through enough in menopause, let’s nurture and support ourselves by focusing on health rather than weight.

09.01.2022 I like this idea.....something to think about as we head into the new year. The word Intention is a much gentler word and highlights the ongoing work towards achieving something in your life that will also include setbacks, which is ok. Let’s be kinder to ourselves in 2021

09.01.2022 Midweek Inspiration! Stress is a normal part of life, it becomes a problem for our health when we experience chronic stress The key is to understand our triggers and consider if we would be able to react or respond differently... If we are unable to change how we react or respond, it’s important to find ways to de stress and let go of some steam, such as talking to a friend, going for a walk or deep breathing Reflection of the stressful event is also a good way to think about how you could handle a similar situation next time #stress #stressmanagement #stressless #reflection #responddontreact #bekindtoyourself #sandwichgeneration #selfcaresaves #selfcare #perimenopause #menopause #menopausetransition #menopausematters #womenshealth #womenswellness #hormones #melbournenutritionist #melbourne #ipreview via @preview.app See more

09.01.2022 Following on from #WomensHealthWeek and my post on #iron here is an article outlining a full day of meals to boost your iron. The main take always for women in #Menopause : women aged 18-50 should aim to consume 18mg/day iron... women aged 51-70 should aim to consume 8mg/day iron, if no longer menstruating iron absorption can be inhibited by calcium supplements, so take them at different times to meals dairy products, poly phenols and tannins (found in tea and coffee) also inhibit iron absorption and should it be consumed with meals https://blogs.deakin.edu.au//womens-health-week-a-full-da/

08.01.2022 I R O N Iron is an essential nutrient that is vital for cells to make energy. It is important in transporting oxygen around the body as it forms part of the haemoglobin in the blood (that’s what makes blood the colour red!) Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide ... Absorption of Iron is determined by it’s: Bioavailability Overall diet Stores of iron in the body How quickly new red blood cells are produced There are two types of dietary Iron - Haem Non-haem Haem Iron is found in the flesh of animal foods - meat, chicken and fish. Red meat is the best source and all Haem iron is readily absorbed in the body Non-haem iron is found in plant foods such as broccoli, legumes, nuts, spinach, parsley, eggs, dried fruit and whole grains.

07.01.2022 As part of my self care routine, every morning I write 3 things that went well for me the day before.

07.01.2022 C A L C I U M Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body 99% of calcium is in our bones and teeth... The remaining 1% is in our blood where it mostly helps to maintain blood pressure, nerve function, blood clotting and healthy muscles (helps with contraction & relaxation) Calcium is required to keep our bones strong, but also acts as a calcium bank to help maintain blood levels if they get too low Calcium is an important mineral for women going through menopause and bone loss starts from the age of 35. Dietary sources are always best, but supplementation may be necessary.

05.01.2022 Part 2 DEXA Scan - What you need to do to get a DEXA Scan

04.01.2022 This is what has been actually going on for me and my family this past week. Our cat, Prince, our first and only family pet, had only one functioning kidney due to kidney disease, most of his life. We managed it with the right diet recommended by our vet and regular check ups. A week ago we had an inkling that he wasn’t himself, and noticed he was not eating much and had lost a lot of weight. We took him to the vet to find he had stage 4 kidney disease - and he declined rapi...dly throughout the week. I’ve cried a river all week and my heart aches , I will miss him so much. He was the best cat that was so treasured and loved. We said goodbye to Prince this morning. The most difficult decision we have ever had to make with my head and heart in conflict, but he was ready, even if we weren’t. We never would’ve been ready, and had to do what was best for him, as he had declined rapidly this week. He has given us 12 years of joy and happiness, and even though my tears are flowing and my heart is broken, I know with time our memories will make us smile once again. I will miss him terribly and love him forever. PRINCE 8/3/2009 - 5/12/2020
