Nutrition was the key to balancing my hormones
Hi, I’m Helen
I’m a registered Nutritional Therapist and Wellbeing Coach, passionate about helping women in midlife feel better - mentally, physically and emotionally.
As I approached my 40’s my mental and physical health really started to deteriorate.
My energy seemed to plummet overnight and I felt tired all the time despite a full nights’ sleep. My teenage anxiety reared its ugly head again and I would get angry or tearful over the smallest things. My previously razor-sharp brain started to go to mush and I couldn’t concentrate or focus like I used to. I felt like I was falling to pieces – it was awful!
At the time, I didn't understand what was happening to me and it really began to affect my confidence, my relationship with my husband and my performance at work.
I enrolled on a nutrition course (I thought a career change might make me feel better!) and it was here that I began to understand the powerful impact of hormones on a women’s health, particularly in the perimenopausal years (the years leading up to menopause).
I got my hormones tested and as I suspected they were all over the place - I had adrenal fatigue, an under-functioning thyroid, and sex hormone imbalances typical of perimenopause.
Using the information I’d learnt at college, I began to implement specific dietary and lifestyle changes that helped bring my hormones back into balance.
Within weeks I couldn't believe how much better I felt. My energy gradually came back, my moods stabilised, I felt lighter, brighter and generally more positive about life. In fact I felt better than I had done in years!
I’m now qualified as a nutritional therapist and wellbeing coach and I’m on a mission to share what I have learnt to inspire and empower women to regain control of their hormones and, rebalance their body and mind, so they can transition through this stage of life with vitality, energy and confidence!
