✨ Nutrition in Perimenopause & Menopause ✨
Supporting your body through this transition starts with the right nutrients. Four big players make a huge difference in symptoms, mood, and long-term health:

🔹 Choline
Helps with brain health, memory, and liver function. Many women don’t get enough.
Found in: eggs, salmon, lean meats, soybeans.

🔹 Isoflavones
Plant compounds that can gently support oestrogen balance and reduce hot flushes.
Found in: tofu, tempeh, soy milk, edamame.

🔹 Calcium
Essential for protecting your bones as hormone levels shift.
Found in: dairy, fortified milks, almonds, leafy greens, tinned salmon with bones.

🔹 Omega-3s
Reduce inflammation, support heart health, and may ease mood changes.
Found in: salmon, sardines, chia seeds, walnuts, flaxseed.

✨ What is PCOS?
Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal imbalance that affects up to 1 in 5 women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain, and even fertility challenges. PCOS is lifelong and can impact your health in many ways, but support and awareness make a difference. [Polycystic...and causes], [PCOS Aware...Important?], [PCOS Aware...Parenthood]
September is PCOS Awareness Month!
This month is all about raising awareness, sharing stories, and empowering women to take charge of their health. Let’s break the silence, support each other, and spread knowledge so no one feels alone on their PCOS journey. [PCOS Aware...Important?]

🍳🥗 Reduce Period Pain with Protein-Powered Meals
Did you know that eating adequate protein consistently throughout the day can help reduce period pain and support hormonal balance — especially for those managing PCOS?

💥 Protein isn’t just for gym gains — it’s a powerful ally for your menstrual health.

Here’s why eating protein at 3–4 meals per day matters:
🔹 Stabilizes blood sugar — reducing insulin spikes that worsen inflammation and cramps
🔹 Supports hormone production — helping balance estrogen and progesterone levels
🔹 Reduces cravings and bloating — keeping your energy and mood steady
🔹 Improves muscle tone and metabolism — which helps regulate cycles and reduce PMS
🔹 Boosts satiety — so you feel fuller, longer, and avoid blood sugar crashes that can trigger pain

✅ Aim for 20–30g of protein per meal from sources like:

Eggs, salmon, Greek yogurt
Lentils, tofu, quinoa
Chicken, cottage cheese, nuts & seeds

✨ Consistency is key — spacing protein across your day helps regulate hormones and reduce inflammation linked to period pain.

📞 Contact us at Desert Dietitians for your personalised protein and supplement guide — let’s build your hormone-supportive plate together!
