Menopause Matters Episode 5
Menopause and nutrition: Foods to manage your symptoms
With so many changes that may occur in your body, from dry eyes, hair loss and itchy skin, to night sweats and weight gain, perimenopause and menopause can feel like an overwhelming time. But menopause can also be a great awakening to all of the lifestyle habits that no longer serve you, and can help you shift to a better way of eating and moving your body.
In this episode, host Alison Brahe-Daddo chats to Emma Bardwell, a nutritionist who specialises in menopause, about why this isn’t the time to be trying drastic diets and the importance of strength training for all women.
Emma talks about what to eat to help you reduce and manage your symptoms, demystifies phytoestrogens, and shares her tips on reducing menopause bloating and weight gain.
