Menopause is a powerful reminder of resilience – a time when your body invites you to slow down, adapt, and embrace change. Rather than resisting, leaning into this transition can uncover strength and wisdom you didn’t know you had. With nourishing foods, supportive herbs, and mindful self-care, you can feel balanced and energised.

The start of Spring in Sydney has got me thinking about how Menopause is also a season of change and transition. From a nutrition and herbal medicine perspective, it’s really a new beginning. Just as nature shifts with the seasons, a woman’s body naturally moves into this stage, bringing opportunities for growth, reflection, and empowerment. With the right nourishment, balanced lifestyle choices, and supportive herbs, menopause can be embraced as a time to reconnect with your body and honour its wisdom. Instead of fearing the changes, see them as signals to nurture yourself deeply. This phase can bring renewed strength, confidence, and freedom like never before.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and increased risk of chronic conditions. That’s where antioxidant-rich foods come in. Found in colourful fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and green tea, antioxidants help neutralise free radicals and protect cells from damage. They support heart health, brain function, skin elasticity, and may even ease symptoms like fatigue and hot flushes. Including foods like berries, leafy greens, turmeric, and dark chocolate can help your body better cope with the shifts happening during this stage. Think of antioxidants as nutritional allies—helping you feel more energised, balanced, and resilient through midlife and beyond.

Good quality sleep is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining overall health and wellbeing. While you rest, your body gets to work—repairing cells, balancing hormones, and strengthening your immune system. Consistent, restful sleep supports brain function, mood regulation, memory, and even appetite control. Poor sleep, on the other hand, has been linked to a higher risk of anxiety, heart disease, weight gain, and low energy levels. It’s not just about clocking up hours—it’s about sleep quality. Prioritising a regular sleep routine and creating a calm, screen-free bedtime environment can go a long way in supporting long-term health.

Boosting your iron levels isn’t just about eating more iron-rich foods – it’s also about pairing them smartly. Vitamin C plays a key role in enhancing the absorption of non-haem iron (the kind found in plant-based foods like lentils, spinach, and tofu). It helps convert iron into a form that’s easier for your body to absorb. Adding a squeeze of lemon to your salad, enjoying berries with breakfast, or pairing capsicum with your stir-fry can make a real difference. So, if you’re looking to support healthy iron levels, don’t forget to invite vitamin C to the table!

These days, everybody seems to be talking about getting more protein on their plate. But if you're vegetarian or vegan, how do you up your protein intake? Start by adding chickpeas, lentils, tofu, quinoa, h**p seeds and more to your daily meals. These protein-packed plant foods do more than just fill you up; they help build and repair muscles, support steady energy, balance blood sugar, and keep hormones in check.

Need to make some tweaks to your diet or give it a complete overhaul? I'm here to help you get started.

Feeling flat or mentally drained? Time in nature might be the reset you need. Research shows that even short-term exposure to natural environments — like parks, bush trails, or coastal walks — can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Being in green spaces lowers cortisol (your stress hormone), improves focus, and supports emotional regulation. Whether you're walking, sitting, or simply observing, nature offers a free and effective way to support mental wellbeing.

Looking for more natural ways to support your emotional wellbeing? Diet, nutrients and personalised herbal medicine can help to balance the body, reducing symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. Let food, herbs and nature be YOUR natural medicine.

Experiencing perimenopausal symptoms? Here's how having some fruit can help.
🍎 Apples: High in fibre and antioxidants, apples can help stabilise blood sugar and support gut health, which may ease mood swings and bloating.
🥑 Avocado: Packed with healthy fats and magnesium, avocado can support hormone balance and reduce anxiety or sleep disturbances.
🫐 Blueberries: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, blueberries may help combat inflammation and support cognitive function.
🍊 Oranges: Loaded with vitamin C and folate, oranges can boost immunity and collagen production, supporting skin and energy levels.
🍓 Strawberries: High in vitamin C and anti-inflammatory compounds, strawberries can help support skin health and reduce joint discomfort.
