Perimenopause changes everything — including how your body responds to food
During perimenopause and menopause, shifting hormones affect your metabolism, body composition, energy, sleep, mood, and how you store fat. What worked before may not work now — and that's not a personal failing. It's biology. Lauren helps you understand what's changing and build an eating approach that works with your body at this stage, not against it.
You might be experiencing some of these
Weight changes
Unexplained weight gain, especially around the middle, is common in perimenopause — and it responds well to the right nutrition approach.
Energy and fatigue
Hormonal shifts disrupt sleep and drain energy. Lauren helps you eat in a way that supports sustained energy through the day.
Bone health
Declining oestrogen affects bone density. Nutrition plays a critical role in protecting your bones during this transition.
Heart health
Cardiovascular risk increases after menopause. Lauren's evidence-based approach addresses this proactively through food.
What working with Lauren looks like
A proper investigation
We start with your full picture: symptoms, history, what you've already tried, and what your days actually look like. No judgement about past diets — most haven't been designed for this stage of life.
A plan built for your biology now
Practical, specific guidance on protein, bone health, energy and weight — designed around shifting hormones, not against them. Real food, realistic routines.
Support while it beds in
Follow-ups to adjust as your body responds. You're not handed a PDF and left to it.
Hi, I'm Lauren — and I understand that seeing a new health professional can feel like a big step.
I'm a Masters-qualified Accredited Practising Dietitian who works with many women navigating perimenopause and midlife. My approach is built around listening first, and building a plan that fits your actual life — not a generic template.
If you've ever felt judged, dismissed, or not heard in a health setting before, this is a genuinely different experience.
