Hello!

There are some new faces around here and lots of new appointment questions so I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself again!

I’m Sara and Winnipeg Nutrition is my business.

I opened Winnipeg Nutrition about 15 years ago. Like many of you I struggled with health issues that standard medical care couldn’t understand. Functional Medicine saved my life.

Our bodies are made to heal and function well. We are so perfectly created. My passion is to help others in the same spot I was in. Sick, stuck and unsure of where to turn.

You can heal. There is always hope.

Estrogen’s action in regulating fat distribution is from influencing insulin sensitivity in the liver, pancreas and muscle.

It also plays a role in the induction of thermogenesis in brown fat tissue.

Dropping estrogen levels in menopause can lead to an increase in visceral fat.

Excess visceral fat is associated with metabolic issues like Type 2 Diabetes and insulin resistance.

Estrogen therapy replacement is important.
Building muscle is important.
Dietary fibre is important.

What makes 3am so special?

Around the second half of the night your brain cycles into more REM sleep. Your cortisol begins rising to prep for morning.

This should be a gentle nudge, not an alarm.

In perimenopause:
Fluctuating estradiol and dysregulated cortisol timing plus low progesterone = loss of GABA. This means that normal cortisol nudges feel like fire alarms.

Result:
Your hormones are literally waking you up.

Your missing sleep hormone:
Progesterone converts into allopregnanolone in your brain…a natural calming compound that enhances GABA signaling (same pathway meds target).

When your progesterone is low or erratic you lose that GABA break. Nighttime cortisol arousal increases and sleep becomes fragmented.

What actually works:

💫Bedtime bioidentical progesterone. 100-200mg restores your GABA break.

💫Estrogen reduces awakenings beyond hot flash relief.

💫CBT-I cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.

💫Consistent bed and wake times.

💫Morning light within 60 min of waking.

💫Caffeine curfew by noon.

💫Alcohol-free nights.

I’m honoured today to introduce you to our newest team member, Matthew Gooch!

Matthew is a Registered Social Worker (in Manitoba, Ontario, and Alberta) with over 10+ years in the social service, mental health, and education fields.

Matthew understands the important connection between overall well-being and health and how this includes all aspects of our being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. With this, he desires to see individuals be the best version of themselves - in all areas.

Matthew has worked with children, youth, and adults around the world and practices from a person-centered, strength-based approach - meeting his clients where they are at and walking alongside them to empower and educate them to help them reach their next goal successfully.

Throughout his work, Matthew integrates Biblical based principles, as well as numerous practices that include and promote mindfulness and self-efficacy (assisting the individual to see their own capability). Additionally, Matthew builds upon Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy frameworks to assist clients in breaking down unhealthy/harmful ways of thinking, take the next steps towards healthier coping and thinking/reframing, as well as focusing on tangible solutions and outcomes that are applicable and relevant to them.
