#4 The Power of Food at Perimenopause with Karen Newby

In this episode I chat to Nutritional Therapist, Karen Newby.  Karen specialises in women’s hormone health, especially perimenopause and menopause. Karen’s worked with hundreds of women experiencing menopausal symptoms over the past 11 years and seen first hand how powerful food is treating symptoms such as sleep problems, mood changes, hot flushes, weight gain and anxiety.   Although Karen believes in natural solutions, she is very much a complementary practitioner and often works with women on HRT too. Karen’s wealth of knowledge is remarkable and inspiring and there will definitely be so many practical takeaways for you throughout this conversation.   In this episode, we discuss: What some of the early signs of perimenopause are.What is happening to your hormones during perimenopause.What foods you can eat to balance your hormones.Why so many of us put on weight during perimenopause and what we can do about it.The effects of stress on perimenopause and what you can do to reduce it.The power of a therapeutic diet.Why sleep becomes problematic at perimenopause and what we can do to improve it.Supplements and adaptogens.Karen's website is: https://karennewby.com/Karen's instagram is: https://www.instagram.com/karen.newby.nutritionist/My instagram is: https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/My website is:  https://www.pollywarren.com/As always, if you'd like to rate. review or subscribe to this podcast I'd he SO grateful!
