How menopause affects your body

Your body goes through several changes during the menopause due to hormonal fluctuations, primarily involving the decline in oestrogen levels. Symptoms can occur in perimenopause (when you may still be getting periods) and afterwards.

Weight gain, particularly around the middle, can be one downside of these changes to your hormones. Some women may experience anxiety and even depression due to hormonal fluctuations.

Difficulty sleeping at night, and increased daytime fatigue are also a feature. And of course, there are the famous hot flushes and night sweats.

Symptoms of the menopause can take many women by surprise and knock their confidence. It’s more important than ever to put your health first. A nutritionist is the ideal professional partner to help you with the unique nutritional challenges that arise during this stage of life. 

Rachel Clarkson, the DNA Dietitian, can help you meet your health goals, keep your energy levels up, and safeguard your future health. Contact her team to book a consultation and find out how a personalised plan from a top nutritional professional can keep you looking and feeling your best.

Health Challenges During the Menopause

Here are some of the health risks that can accompany menopause, and how a dietitian like Rachel Clarkson can help:

Bone health

During menopause, women are at an increased risk of developing osteoporosis due to decreased oestrogen levels. A nutritionist can recommend calcium-rich foods, vitamin D sources, and other bone-supporting nutrients to promote bone health and reduce the risk of fractures through an improved diet.

Heart health

With declining oestrogen levels, women become more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. A menopause nutritionist can provide guidance on heart-healthy eating patterns, such as a diet low in saturated fats and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. They may also offer strategies to manage cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

Gut health

Menopause can sometimes lead to digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or changes in bowel movements. A nutritionist can recommend dietary changes, including fibre-rich foods, prebiotics and probiotics, to support a healthy gut and alleviate these symptoms.

Other menopausal symptoms and changes

In addition to the health challenges above, here are some other menopause symptoms that women can experience. Nutritional therapy can help to address the imbalances in your body caused by fluctuating levels of hormones. Rachel Clarkson has the professional training and thorough understanding of diet to know how to restore balance through the right nutrition.

Hormonal balance

Menopause brings significant hormonal changes, such as a decline in oestrogen levels. A nutritionist can suggest dietary modifications and the right nutrition to help balance hormones and alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

Weight gain

Many women experience weight gain or changes in body composition during menopause. A nutritionist can assist in developing a healthy and balanced eating plan that supports weight management goals, considering factors such as metabolism changes and muscle mass preservation.

Loss of energy and vitality

Fatigue and decreased energy levels are common during menopause. A nutritionist can suggest the right nutrition to optimise energy levels, such as consuming balanced meals, including foods rich in iron, B vitamins, and antioxidants.

Mood swings and anxiety

Menopause can impact mood and emotional wellbeing. A nutritionist may provide guidance on incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other nutrients that support brain health and emotional balance.

Why choose a menopause dietitian?

If you are experiencing symptoms of the menopause such as insomnia, stress, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, fatigue, or other symptoms mentioned in this article, Rachel Clarkson can help. She can restore well being, vitality and help with weight loss and any other health goals.

Rachel is called the DNA Dietitian because she takes a personalised approach to your nutrition and health, based on your DNA.

DNA testing forms part of her nutritional assessment and guidance, and this gives her an in-depth insight into exactly how your body works, what foods you metabolise best, and what your intolerances are.

She incorporates an understanding of your medical history and lifestyle choices to create a diet and exercise plan that works for you and is easy to stick to. Clients can discuss any concerns they have about the plan or changes to their lifestyle, in person or remotely.

What is the DNA Diet London?

When you work with Rachel and her team, your DNA is interpreted and converted into straightforward advice and a bespoke programme that is easy to follow, based on foods your body is going to respond best to.

Your plan incorporates how fast your body metabolises certain foods, and which foods can trigger irritation or intolerance. Your DNA never changes, so once you receive your dietary guidelines, you are set for life. 

These DNA insights can help clients with their blood sugar balance, lasting weight loss, as well as overall health.

Rachel uses an FDA-approved nutrigenomics test developed by world-renowned Harvard-educated professors at the University of Toronto.
