If you’re over 40 this could help you. If you are 50 plus it’s your time. Whether menopause is on your radar or not, there is a lot I want to share with you, and other women in transition.
Hello again, it’s Belinda Rennie Nutritionist. I started Natural Menopause in 2014; you might have signed up, attended an event – World Menopause Day – or seen me as a client. The vision is still the same as it was 5 years ago. Empower women to know and remember they have choices around their body, moving into and beyond menopause.
If you are struggling through perimenopause or menopause, what I’ve learnt about the gut and genomics in the last 5 years may help you. Here are my big aha moments.
- Your gut is where estrogen can become friend or foe by the action of gut bacteria.
- Care for your gut bacteria and your hormones get happy.
- Your genes are the hardware of your health and the environment, your lifestyle is the switches that expresses them.
- Care for your genes and your health and hormones get happy.
- Care for your gut AND your genes for a symptom free perimenopause and menopause.
As simplistic as this sounds there is a backstory. I have introduced Genomic Wellness and Gut Microbiome Testing into my work because of my family’s journey with cancer. I’ve found genetic testing can tell you how you are wired to store fat, metabolise sugar, food addiction, your detox capacity and inflammation, response to stress, hormone production, memory, mood and cognitive flexibility to name a few.
Rest assured that your genes are not your destiny and you are not your mother’s menopause either. It’s how you eat, move, breathe and love your way through life that counts. Read more about the pros and cons of Genomic Wellness testing here.
“Genomic Wellness is the science of YOU and your unique biochemical individuality. Knowing what’s best for YOU whether it is food, supplements, or style of exercise makes choices a whole lot easier. “
Knowing and following my own unique genetic roadmap has been one of the best things I’ve done for my health in the last 5 years. What have been your big aha health and life moments? Drop me a line and let me know how you’re doing and how I can help you. Check out my new look website and services and see if there is anything that resonates with you.
Blessings on the journey,
