Hummingbird Nutrition

Hummingbird Nutrition Nutritional Therapy I help women harmonise their hormones to reclaim vitality, restore balance and rediscover their radiant selves through nutritional therapy.

Welcome to Hummingbird Nutrition! 🌿

I’m Lisa Picken, a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach, and I specialise in helping women in perimenopause and menopause feel free, fabulous, and fierce again. Why I Created Hummingbird Nutrition 💛

Like so many women, I saw firsthand how menopause can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and out of control. When I experienced my own menopause journey, I was determined to manage it naturally through nutrition and lifestyle changes—and it transformed my health. I created Hummingbird Nutrition because I believe that midlife should be a time of empowerment, not struggle. Women deserve clear, practical, and effective support to balance their hormones, regain energy, and feel like themselves again.\, whether you take HRT or not! At Hummingbird Nutrition, my approach is:

💛 Rooted in science – No fads, just evidence-based nutrition.
💛 Tailored to you – Because every woman’s menopause journey is different.
💛 Practical & realistic – No complicated meal plans, just easy-to-follow solutions.
💛 Supportive & empowering – I’ll be your guide every step of the way. If you’re feeling knackered, grumpy, and frumpy, struggling with brain fog, weight gain, or relentless fatigue, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be this way. Through personalised nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and expert guidance, I help you balance your hormones, regain energy, and feel like YOU again. If you’re ready to ditch the overwhelm and take back control of your health, I’d love to help! Book a free 15-minute menopause chat or join my Menopause Mojo Reboot for a powerful 14-day reset.

Skipping meals makes reflux worse 🔥

So does rushing food
So does eating on the go
So does living in fight-or-flight

Digestion needs calm

When we slow down and support the gut properly, reflux often eases dramatically

This is what I help clients with 1:1 - restoring digestive function, not just suppressing symptoms

You don’t need more willpower

You need hormone-aware support

Perimenopause makes it harder to regulate appetite, stress, sleep and energy. That’s biology - not failure

If you’ve been beating yourself up for feeling tired, emotional or disconnected from your body, please stop

Start with understanding what’s happening instead

My free quiz is a beautiful first step

I see women every week who tell me: “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

They’ve tried eating “healthier”
They’ve Googled symptoms.
They’ve been told everything looks “normal”

And yet they feel flat, foggy, bloated or inflamed - this is why I do what I do.

Because midlife health doesn’t need to be confusing or lonely.

It needs clarity, compassion, and someone who understands hormones AND digestion.

If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here 💛

Anyone else dread lying down at night because reflux kicks in?

That burning chest.�That sour taste.�That anxiety about sleeping.

So many clients tell me they feel trapped in a cycle of managing symptoms instead of healing.

Reflux is your body waving a flag.

With the right support, digestion can calm and symptoms can fade.

If reflux is stealing your quality of life, reach out. This is my speciality 💛

Your hormones don’t just affect hot flushes 🔥🔥

They influence:
*Your gut
*Your energy
*Your motivation
*Your ability to cope with stress
*Your blood sugar

Which is why perimenopause can feel like everything starts unraveling at once.

This is also why random supplements and diet trends rarely work.

Midlife bodies need targeted support, not guesswork.

If you’d like clarity on what YOUR body is doing right now, start with my free perimenopause quiz (link in bio).

Can I be honest?

Most women I meet know they should be eating better.

But between exhaustion, overwhelm and decision fatigue… nothing changes.

That’s exactly why I created Juicy Boost.

It’s a gentle 5-day reset to help you:
Get back into nourishing yourself
Rebuild energy
Feel lighter and clearer
Stop overthinking food

No perfection.�No complicated recipes.�Just momentum.
If you’re stuck in “I’ll start Monday” mode, Juicy Boost is waiting for you.

Quick reflux truth bomb.

Acid reflux isn't always caused by TOO MUCH stomach acid.

Often, it's actually TOO LITTLE stomach acid.

Which means food isn't breaking down properly, and acid travels upwards.
That's why antacids feel like a sticking plaster.
They suppress the symptoms, but don't fix the root cause.

In clinic, I help clients rebuild their digestive system properly - so reflux calms naturally, sleep improves, and they are not frightened of eating.

If heartburn, chest burning, bile reflux, or constant clearing of the throat is ruining your life, you don't need to struggle alone.

Do you ever feel tired, but wired?

You fall into bed exhausted, but lie there with your mind racing - and sleep eludes you
You wake up already drained before the day has even started
Your body feels unfamiliar
.. but you tell yourself that you should be coping better than this.

This is classic perimenopause

Hormone changes affect your sleep, stress response, blood sugar, digestion, and even your mood - it affects everything!

If you are wondering where you sit on the perimenopause scale, I've created a free quiz that gives your clarity PLUS my 4 pillars of perimenopause PDF

January can feel like a strange mix of�wanting to feel better�and not having the energy to overhaul everything.

That’s exactly why Juicy Boost isn’t about extremes.

It’s not a detox.�It’s not a strict plan.�And it’s definitely not about pushing through on willpower.

It’s a short, gentle reset using juices, smoothies and warming soups - designed to support energy, digestion and hormones in midlife, without overwhelm.

You don’t need to do everything perfectly for it to be effective.�But a little intention, a bit of preparation, and the right kind of support can make a real difference.

Juicy Boost starts on Monday, and today I’ve sent the guide to everyone who’s already joined so they can ease in over the weekend.

If your body’s been asking for something kinder this January - something supportive rather than punishing - this might be exactly what you need.

👉 message me JUICY to find out more 💚, there's still time to join and feel invigorated for just £47.

Can I share something I’ve been working on?

Every January, I see so many women jump straight into restrictive diets that leave them exhausted, hormonal and miserable - especially those of us in midlife.

This year, I wanted to do something different.

I’ve created a 5-day Juicy Boost starting 12th January - a gentle, nourishing reset designed for peri and menopausal women who want to calm bloating, reduce inflammation and stop sugar cravings without deprivation.

It includes:
• simple juices
• a hormone-balancing smoothie
• a warm evening soup
• gentle daily support from me

No starving. No extremes. No hormone chaos.

It’s currently available at a beta price of £47 for the first round.

🙊
Let's talk about something that you really weren't prepared for when you hit perimenopause, and something that Google definitely can't fix for you...

The way your gut is quietly hijacking your whole life.
Not the “support digestion” tips you see online Not the “eat more fibre” advice that fixes nothing
I mean the real day-to-day chaos you’re dealing with:
🙊 You’re at work, trying to look composed on Teams… while secretly praying you won’t need to sprint to the loo mid-meeting
🙊 You put on your dress for a night out, and it fits at 9am… but by 5pm you look six months pregnant and you’re wondering whether to cancel altogether
🙊 You’re tired of timing meals around whether your stomach is going to behave.
🙊 You’re tired of feeling like your digestive system has a mind of its own
🙊 And you’re tired of pretending it’s “just bloating” when it’s actually running the show

Here’s the truth no one tells midlife women: Your gut is reacting to the hormonal roller coaster you’re on - and that’s why none of your old tricks are working anymore. It's not in your head It’s not because you “ate the wrong thing”
And, it’s not because you’re suddenly intolerant to everything!
It’s because your gut and your hormones are in constant conversation - and during perimenopause and menopause, that conversation turns into a full-blown row.

But the GOOD news is: Your symptoms aren't random Your body isn't broken And you don't need to live this way

Your body is sending messages - and when you learn how to translate them, everything changes.

Imagine…
🌸 Going out to dinner without scanning for the nearest toilets
🌸 Getting through a full day at work without bloating, cramps, or a gassy stomach that makes you want to lie down
🌸 Slipping into your clothes in the evening without feeling inflamed, puffy, or uncomfortable 🌸 Feeling back in control of your gut instead of at its mercy

This is what I help women in midlife do every single day. Because you deserve to feel confident, comfortable, and free in your own body again.

If your gut is taking over your day-to-day life, let’s talk.
Book a free 15-minute menopause chat with me and let’s get you feeling like you again in time for the Christmas party!

You don’t have to live like this 💛
