Women's Health

Women's health encompasses a range of conditions unique to the female reproductive system and hormonal balance. These include:

​

  • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and headaches are common in PMS, while PMDD is more severe, significantly impacting daily life.

  • Perimenopause and Menopause: The transition to menopause brings changes like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. Post-menopause, women are at higher risk for certain health conditions due to lower oestrogen levels.

  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with cysts, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and potential fertility issues.

  • Endometriosis: A painful condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing significant pain and menstrual irregularities.

The Role of Nutrition in Women's Health
​

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing these conditions. As a specialist in women's health, my approach includes:

​

  • Balancing Hormones: Dietary strategies to manage hormonal fluctuations and mitigate symptoms.

  • Inflammation Reduction: Targeting foods that reduce inflammation, which is a key factor in conditions like endometriosis and PCOS.

  • Bone Health: Ensuring adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, especially during and after menopause.

Why a Specialised Diet Matters for Women's Health
​

A tailored diet is essential for women’s health because it:

​

  • Supports Hormonal Regulation: Essential for conditions like PMS, PMDD, PCOS, and menopausal symptoms.

  • Enhances Fertility and Reproductive Health: Particularly important in PCOS and endometriosis.

  • Promotes Overall Well-being: A balanced diet affects mood, energy levels, and overall health.

The Impact of Women's Health Issues
​

If not effectively managed, these conditions can lead to:

​

  • Reduced quality of life due to persistent and often debilitating symptoms.

  • Increased risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, especially post-menopause.

  • Emotional and mental health challenges, including depression and anxiety.
