Dietitian and Nutritionist for Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, lasting anywhere from 2-10 years, most often between the ages of 40 and 50.

A dietitian or nutritionist can help manage perimenopause in the following ways:

• Understand and normalize the biological changes that are causing the new symptoms you’re noticing.
• Make adjustments to eating habits for sustained, healthy weight management.
• Lower your risk of heart disease by addressing the first signs of Metabolic Syndrome.
• Address emotional eating and the psychological impact of body changes.
• Reveal healthier substitutions for your favourite foods, and even help you strategically enjoy your favourites with less hormonal impact.
• Help improve your sleep quality and employ strategies to help manage stress.
• Identify food triggers for symptoms that may be disrupting sleep or work.
• Manage new food sensitivities such as gluten or lactose.
• Prevent and address nutrient deficiencies, if any.
• Include enough protein in your diet to protect your muscle mass as estrogen declines.
• Receive counsel on resistance training from a sports dietitian and nutritionist, to safely stimulate muscle growth and strengthen your bones.
• Monitor dietary changes and symptom improvements over time, making adjustments as needed to optimize health outcomes.
• And more.
