Nutrition for Hormonal Transitions
Perimenopause and menopause bring significant changes: shifts in metabolism, body composition, energy, mood, plus symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, and weight gain.
Generic advice like "eat less, move more" doesn't address what's happening in your body. You need a personalized nutrition plan that supports muscle maintenance, metabolic health, bone density, and symptom management.
I work with you to create a meal plan tailored to this life stage, plus ongoing support to navigate challenges and adjust as your body changes.

Why should I see a dietitian for menopause?
Menopause causes hormonal shifts that affect metabolism, body composition, bone density, and energy. A registered dietitian provides evidence-based, personalized nutrition strategies to manage these changes, not generic advice or fad diets.
What symptoms can nutrition help with during menopause?
Nutrition can help manage hot flashes, sleep disruption, weight gain, mood changes, low energy, and cravings. A targeted meal plan supports hormonal balance, muscle maintenance, and overall well-being during this transition.
How is this different from a regular diet plan?
This program is specifically designed for perimenopause and menopause. It focuses on muscle preservation, metabolic health, bone density, and symptom relief: areas that generic diet plans do not address.
Why is the program 16 weeks?
Hormonal transitions take time to respond to nutritional changes. In 16 weeks you move through three phases: Discover (labs, assessment, personalized plan), Reset & Optimize (follow-up sessions, adjustments, habit building), and Measure (retest, compare results). This gives your body time to adapt and your new routines time to become second nature.
Can I get my hormone levels tested through this program?
Yes. If you join the In Person program, your full lab panel includes 40+ biomarkers covering hormones, thyroid, metabolic markers, and more. Your results are reviewed by both your dietitian and a doctor, so you get a complete picture of what is happening in your body.
Can I get a prescription for HRT or other medication?
If you join the In Person program, your lab results are reviewed by a doctor during your consultation. If the doctor assesses that you would benefit from hormone replacement therapy or other medication, they can write a prescription for you directly.
Where do In Person sessions take place?
All in-person sessions take place at The Health Clinic Stockholm, Kungstensgatan 2, 114 25 Stockholm. There you can meet your dietitian, see a doctor, do InBody scans, and have your lab tests taken, all in one location.
Do I need to follow a restrictive diet?
No. The approach is about adding nutrient-dense foods that support your body during this life stage, not about restriction. Plans are flexible, sustainable, and tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.
How quickly will I see results?
Many clients notice improved energy, better sleep, and reduced cravings within the first few weeks. Body composition changes and sustained symptom relief typically develop over the full 16 weeks with consistent follow-through.
How do payments work?
You enroll in the 16-week Reset Program, which includes everything: assessment sessions, personalized meal plan, supplement protocol, app access, weekly check-ins, and messaging support. You can pay in full or split it into 4 monthly payments. See the pricing section above for exact amounts.
