Nutrition plays a key roll in alleviating PMS, PCOS and managing menopause.

PMS
More than 70% of ovulating women experience premenstrual symptoms. We will explain the etiology of PMS and how your diet and lifestyle could be influencing your symptoms. Learn which foods and nutrients help alleviate your symptoms and those which exacerbate them. An anti-PMS plan based on your symptoms, biochemical profile and lifestyle influences can be formulated to help moderate your symptoms.

PCOS
PCOS is principally driven by excess androegn levels, insulin resistance and the over-secretion of cortisol. As women lose weight, testosterone levels fall, insulin levels decrease, SHBG levels increase and the symptoms of PCOS typically diminish. Our nutrition and lifestyle plan is designed to stimulate fat burning, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate hormone levels and improve ovarian function.

Menopause
While menopause is a natural progression in a woman’s life, peri-menopausal symptoms stem principally from an estrogen to progesterone imbalance. Negative lifestyle and nutritional habits further aggravate this imbalance. Our menopausal plan is designed to regulate hormone levels, nourish the adrenal glands and encourage the consumption of phytoestrogens and adaptogenic herbs. As xeno-estrogens can disrupt hormone balance, lifestyle recommendations that limit your exposure to these will be recommended. The objective of the program is to proceed through menopause with minimal symptoms, as it is, after all, just a natural maturation in a woman’s life.
