Nutrition Support for Women’s Health

Women’s nutritional needs can change considerably across different stages of life.

Hormonal changes may affect digestion, energy, sleep, appetite, mood, body composition and how you respond to foods that previously suited you. These changes deserve a personalised approach rather than a generic list of foods or supplements.

I provide evidence-based nutritional therapy for women in Edinburgh and online across the UK, supporting you alongside - not instead of - appropriate medical care.

You May Be Looking for Support With:

  • menstrual or cycle-related changes

  • premenstrual symptoms

  • perimenopause and menopause

  • changes in appetite, weight or body composition

  • digestive symptoms that appear to change with your cycle or hormones

  • low energy or disrupted sleep

  • maintaining muscle and bone health as you age

  • changing nutritional needs during midlife

  • making sense of conflicting advice about women’s health

  • nutrition alongside HRT or other prescribed medication

How I Work

We begin with your complete story, including your symptoms, menstrual and hormonal history, eating patterns, lifestyle, medications, sleep, stress, digestion and personal goals.

Because women’s symptoms often overlap, I look at how the different parts of your health may be connected. For example, sleep disruption may influence energy, appetite and food choices, while hormonal changes may coincide with digestive symptoms or changes in body composition.

My pharmacy background also allows me to consider medications, supplements and possible interactions carefully.

Your Personalised Plan May Include:

  • balanced meals that support energy and satisfaction

  • practical ways to increase protein, fibre and food variety

  • nutrition to support bone, muscle and cardiovascular health

  • support with appetite, cravings and weight changes

  • food-first strategies for digestive concerns

  • sleep, stress and movement recommendations

  • review of supplements you already use

  • supplement guidance where appropriate

  • suggestions for medical investigations or questions to discuss with your GP

  • nutrition support alongside HRT or other medical treatment

My aim is to help you feel informed, supported and more confident in adapting your nutrition as your body and circumstances change.
