At Fuel Your Health we offer tailored dietetic and lifestyle strategies to support you through each stage of your life, including any reproductive and hormonal health concerns you may have.

Endometriosis

In Australia 1 in 7 women aged between 44 and 49 are estimated to have endometriosis.

Diet plays a key role in managing symptoms. For example, a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and dietary fibre can assist with reducing inflammation and pain.

PCOS is a common hormonal condition affecting around 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years.

Key symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles and reduced frequency of ovulation, excess facial or body hair, reduced fertility, elevated androgens (male hormones), weight gain, metabolic problems (such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol), and depression and anxiety.

Menopause results in a gradual decline of reproductive hormones primarily oestrogen.

Diet plays a critical role in helping to control and manage menopausal symptoms such as, improving energy levels and mental health, support weight goals, and protect our bones, heart, brain and muscle health.

Key nutrients for this stage of life include lean protein, good quality carbohydrates, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and fibre.
