Mastering MENOPAUSE

HOW TO NAVIGATE THE CHANGE

- 

LOOK AFTER YOUR GUT

“A healthy gut means a healthier mind,” says Moshy dietitian Kirby Sorenson. “It can also help with gastrointestinal symptoms like constipation and bloating. Add fermented foods such as yoghurt or sauerkraut, stay hydrated and limit alcohol intake.”

BE GENTLE ON YOURSELF

Perimenopause is a time to nourish, not restrict, says Sorenson. “Eat regularly, prioritise wholefoods and be kind to your body.”

POWER UP

“Magnesium (found in dark chocolate, leafy greens and almonds) can help with sleep, bone health, anxiety, constipation,” explains Sorenson.
