If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s, the hormonal changes of perimenopause can create challenges for your skin. With a change in hormones, particularly when estrogen drops, the protective skin barrier becomes weaker. This means your skin can become more sensitive and skin texture may change where acne, rosacea and eczema can become more common. Glowing and vibrant skin isn’t just about what you put on it, but also what you feed it. Our skin is a reflection of our internal health, and during perimenopause and menopause due to the increased inflammation, nutrition is important in keeping your skin hydrated, resilient, and less inflamed. Understanding these changes and how nutrition can support skin health is key to maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion during...

How do I know I am in Perimenopause Perimenopause is a natural part of a woman’s life. It’s the stage before your final period (menopause) when your body is transitioning to the end of its reproductive years. The age of onset can vary and can start anywhere between 35 years old and 45 years old. This is when women will start to notice changes in their cycles and hormonal health overall.  Perimenopause can last from two to 10 years leading up to menopause when your body is transitioning to the end of its reproductive years. It can be a time that your body lets you know you need to start paying attention. It is the time when symptoms are most likely to occur, but know they are...

If you’re over 40 and you’ve started to gain weight without making any major lifestyle changes, you may wonder what’s going on with your body. It can be frustrating when you haven't changed your diet or exercise routine, but the kilos still find a way to creep in anyway. Sudden weight gain during perimenopause, however, isn’t unusual. It’s been estimated that the average weight increase experienced during perimenopause and menopause is around 2-5 kgs. This would have to be the most common complaint from women during perimenopause. Weight gain during your 40s is largely due to a decline in your metabolic rate as well as the hormonal change, in particular a reduction in estrogen. Estrogen keeps your body more insulin sensitive, and progesterone reduces inflammation. So...

Is it perimenopause or insulin resistance? Why insulin resistance may be making your perimenopause worse

I've been seeing more and more women in the clinic who are dealing with insulin resistance, and a lot of them aren't even aware of it. Its usually the stubborn weight gain and skin tags that are obvious clues for me. If I suspect insulin resistance, I usually refer them for some blood tests to get a clearer picture. Insulin resistance happens when insulin levels are consistently high. The hormone insulin helps control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. With insulin resistance, the body's cells don't respond normally to insulin. Glucose can't enter the cells as easily, so it builds up in the blood. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes. This reduced ability to respond to insulin affects metabolic flexibility, making it harder...

 Perimenopause, diet and what is going on? Irregular cycles, unexplained weight gain, mood swings, sound familiar? These could be new symptoms you're experiencing due to perimenopause? And what the hell is perimenopause? There is definitely a lack of information for women out there about what to do and how to support our bodies during this hormonal transition. Peri is a Greek word for "around" or "near" menopause. Perminenopoase begins on average at age 40 and usually about 10 years before menopause, for some it seems to start happening earlier. Perimenopause is when a woman's ovaries begin to make less oestrogen and the body responds. It's a phase that lasts until menopause. It’s definitely a time we really need to take more care of our bodies, slow down...
