Rather than assuming everything is simply “hormonal,” my work focuses on how multiple systems - hormones, thyroid function, metabolism, gut health and stress physiology - interact during the menopausal transition.
When we investigate these systems properly, many symptoms that once felt confusing begin to make sense.
Midlife is often portrayed as a time when the body begins to decline.
I see it differently.
The female body is highly adaptive. Menopause is not a disease - it is a biological transition.
However, transitions place pressure on several systems at once. Hormones shift, metabolic demands change, and stress resilience can be tested.
When these systems struggle to adapt, symptoms appear.
Rather than focusing on a single hormone or offering generic lifestyle advice, my work looks at the interaction between systems so that we can understand what is actually happening beneath the surface.
Now at 48 and already postmenopausal, this work is also personal to me.
Like many women, I experienced my own physiological changes along the way — from iron deficiency during years of heavy bleeding to managing genetic risk factors within my own health.
These experiences reinforced something I see repeatedly in clinical practice:
The body rarely fails without reason.
It adapts.
And when we take the time to investigate properly, we can support that adaptation rather than simply trying to override symptoms.
I am a Registered Nutritionist with a Master’s degree in Sports Nutrition and a background in Nutritional Therapy.
Alongside clinical practice, I lecture on nutrition and human physiology, and have a particular interest in how hormonal systems interact with metabolism, thyroid function, gut health and stress physiology.
For over eight years I have worked with women navigating perimenopause and menopause, helping them understand the physiological changes occurring during this stage of life and how best to support their bodies through that transition.
My work combines nutritional therapy, functional medicine principles, and systems-based physiology.
