✨ New blog post ✨

Wondering if the changes you’re experiencing could be related to perimenopause?

Many women know about hot flushes and changes to their periods, but did you know symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, bloating, dizziness, heart palpitations and poor sleep can also be linked to perimenopause?

In this blog we explain:

- common signs of perimenopause

- lesser-known symptoms you may not realise are hormone related

- why there is no single test that can confirm perimenopause

- how tracking your symptoms can help your GP identify patterns

- the role nutrition can play in supporting you through perimenopause

- how a dietitian can help with symptom management, protein needs and healthy ageing

If you’ve been feeling “not quite yourself” lately, this blog is for you 💜

Did you know that iron needs don’t decrease until menopause is reached?

During before and during perimenopause, iron is an important nutrient, particularly if you’re still experiencing periods.

After menopause, requirements are lower, but iron continues to play a vital role in energy production, immune function and transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Iron-rich foods include lean red meat, poultry, seafood, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, pumpkin seeds and iron-fortified cereals.

Pairing plant-based sources with vitamin C-rich foods can help improve absorption. 🍓🍊

If you’re experiencing fatigue, follow a vegetarian diet, have heavy periods or are concerned about your iron intake, a dietitian can help you meet your needs and determine whether further investigation may be worthwhile.

Canned foods can make low FODMAP eating feel easier

Tinned beans, lentils, fruit and vegetables often have lower FODMAPs than fresh because some of the FODMAPs move into the liquid ✨

This means the portion you eat is gentler and less likely to trigger symptoms 🌱

Drain and rinse, start small, and build up slowly to find your tolerance 🥗

Try these canned swaps if your gut is more sensitive

If you need personalised IBS support, book in with our dietitians 💛
