Nutritional Support for Menopausal Transition
Evidence-based nutritional medicine to support women with Energy, Bone & Hair Health, and Hormonal Wellbeing
Nutritional support for Peri-menopause, Menopause and Healthy Ageing
Menopause transition is a major hormonal and metabolic transition that can affect energy, mood, sleep, digestion, weight, bone health, skin, hair, and emotional well-being. Nutritional medicine provides targeted, evidence-based support to help women navigate these changes and feel healthier, stronger, and more balanced through midlife and beyond.
At Handcrafted Health, nutrition consultations are tailored to the unique needs of women experiencing peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Sue takes a holistic and personalised approach, exploring how nutrition, stress, sleep, lifestyle, gut health, hormones, and emotional well-being interact to influence overall health.
Nutrition for Hormones, Bones, Mood, and Metabolism
Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or short-term fixes, consultations aim to create sustainable nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support:
- Healthy ageing
- Hormone balance
- Energy and fatigue
- Menopausal weight gain
- Digestive health and bloating
- Hair loss and nutrient deficiencies
- Sleep and nervous system support
- Blood sugar and cholesterol balance
- Mood, stress, and emotional well-being
- Bone health, osteopenia and osteoporosis
A Personalised and Evidence-Based Approach
Sue combines over 30 years of clinical experience to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports women through the physical and emotional changes of menopause. The goal is not simply symptom management. It is helping women feel calmer, more energised, mentally clearer, and more confident in their health as they move through midlife and beyond.
Common Questions About Diet and Nutrition
Explore answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about diet and nutrition to help guide your health journey.
What is nutritional medicine?
Nutritional medicine is all about using food and nutrients to help prevent and treat health issues. It focuses on how what we eat impacts our body’s systems, aiming to keep everything working smoothly. Instead of just treating symptoms, it looks at how diet might be contributing to things like low energy, digestive issues, or even chronic conditions.
Can nutritional medicine help with weight loss?
Yes! Nutritional medicine doesn’t just tell you to cut calories or follow strict diets. Instead, it looks at the bigger picture-how your body processes food, your hormones, and even your gut health. By focusing on nutrient-dense, whole foods, it helps you lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.
How does nutritional medicine differ from normal nutrition advice?
Regular nutrition advice tends to be more general (like “eat more vegetables”), whereas nutritional medicine is personalised. It looks at your individual health needs, history, and even genetics to come up with a plan that suits you. It’s more of a holistic, tailored approach to improving health through diet.
Can nutritional medicine help with chronic illnesses?
Definitely. Nutritional medicine can be a great support for managing chronic conditions like diabetes, IBS, or heart disease. By addressing nutrient imbalances and promoting an anti-inflammatory diet, it can help reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life
Will I need to take supplements with nutritional medicine?
Possibly! While the focus is on getting most nutrients from whole foods, sometimes supplements are recommended if you’re not getting enough of certain vitamins or minerals from your diet alone. But it’s all based on your individual needs, not a blanket approac
How do I know if nutritional medicine is right for me?
If you’re struggling with ongoing health issues like low energy, digestive problems, or even stress, nutritional medicine might be a good fit. It’s also helpful if you want to focus on prevention, supporting your body with the right nutrients before problems arise.
