Did you know that magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in your body?

During perimenopause and menopause, getting enough of this essential mineral is particularly important. As oestrogen levels fluctuate and decline, you might find yourself struggling with poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue or constipation. Sound familiar?

Magnesium plays an important role in supporting your nervous system, muscle function, energy production, blood sugar regulation and bone health – all particularly relevant during midlife.

Signs of magnesium deficiency can include muscle cramps, fatigue and weakness, while low magnesium intake or status has also been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Different forms have different properties and absorption rates, so choosing the right one for your individual needs can make a difference. Whether you're looking to support sleep and relaxation or help relieve constipation, it's worth understanding your options.

And don't forget about food - pumpkin seeds, almonds, leafy greens, legumes and wholegrains are all excellent sources of magnesium.

Magnesium isn't a magic fix for menopausal symptoms, but ensuring you're getting enough is an important part of supporting your health and wellbeing through midlife and beyond.

Today, 18 October, is World Menopause Day, and this year’s theme is chronic pain at midlife: pain that persists or keeps returning for more than three months.

So many of my clients carry on through pain - working, caring for families and accepting discomfort as their new normal, but nobody should have to live with pain.

So why can pain become more common in midlife? Changing oestrogen levels can affect joints, muscles and how the nervous system processes pain. Stiff hands or knees, aching backs, more frequent migraines and bladder discomfort can all feature. Poor sleep and stress can make pain harder to cope with and pain itself can disrupt sleep.

Nutritional therapy offers personalised support. For migraines, we might explore blood sugar balance, possible food triggers, nutrient intake, hydration and caffeine. For joint health, we can focus on adequate protein, healthy fats, calcium and vitamin D. Where appropriate, targeted supplements may complement dietary changes, considering your health history and medications.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Did you know that around 1 in 7 women in the UK will develop breast cancer during their lifetime? Yet only around 5–10% of breast cancers are thought to be caused by an inherited altered gene.

While some risk factors are outside our control – such as age, genetics and family history – there are others we may have some influence over, including diet, alcohol intake, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and our metabolic health.

One particularly interesting area is oestrogen. When we think about oestrogen, we often focus on whether our levels are too high or too low. But it’s not just how much oestrogen we have that matters – how our body processes and eliminates it is important too.

The DUTCH hormone test gives us a much more detailed picture, including:

🌸 Your levels of different types of oestrogen
🌸 How your body breaks down and processes oestrogen
🌸 Which oestrogen pathways your body is favouring
🌸 How well you complete the next stage of oestrogen processing (methylation)
🌸 Testosterone and other hormones
🌸 Cortisol patterns and melatonin
🌸 A marker of oxidative stress and cell damage

Why is this interesting for breast health? We know that hormones play a role in breast cancer risk, and research has also looked at how different ways of metabolising oestrogen may relate to breast health.

The DUTCH test isn’t a test for breast cancer and can’t predict whether you will develop it. But it can provide valuable insight into your individual hormone metabolism and highlight areas that may benefit from personalised nutrition and lifestyle support.

I offer DUTCH testing through my Nutritional Therapy clinic, including a full interpretation of your results and personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement recommendations.

Do you struggle with heavy or painful periods, breast tenderness, bloating, PMS, migraines, mood swings or stubborn weight gain?

It may not just be about how much oestrogen you have, but also how well your body processes and removes it.

In this carousel, I explain the three stages of oestrogen metabolism using a simple 'putting the bins out' analogy.

Supporting your liver and gut with the right nutrition can help your body process and eliminate used oestrogen more efficiently, supporting healthy hormone balance.

Let's talk about fibre.

It's one of the most important nutrients you can eat, yet many women aren't getting enough.

Fibre does far more than support regular bowel movements. It helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, supports healthy blood sugar balance and feeds your beneficial gut bacteria. During perimenopause and menopause, fibre is particularly important for hormone balance. It helps the body efficiently eliminate used oestrogen via the bowel, preventing it from being reabsorbed and potentially contributing to symptoms associated with oestrogen dominance. Eating enough fibre can also support cardiovascular health which becomes increasingly important after menopause.

The good news? Increasing your fibre intake doesn't have to be complicated. Small changes, such as adding more vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and wholegrains to your meals, can make a big difference.

Here are some fibre-rich foods to help you get started.
