Midlife Health Program

The Midlife Health Program

Feel like yourself again

Perimenopause and menopause can bring significant changes to your body, mood, energy, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety, weight gain, digestive issues, and hot flushes are common — but they’re not something you simply have to “put up with.”

This program is designed to help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and gives you a personalised plan to support your hormones, gut health, energy, metabolism, and long-term wellbeing. Using an evidence-informed, whole-body approach, we look beyond symptom management to address the underlying factors contributing to how you’re feeling.

Whether you’re in the early stages of perimenopause, navigating menopause, or struggling with ongoing symptoms despite reaching menopause, this program provides practical, personalised support to help you feel your best. With the right support, perimenopause can become an opportunity to build the foundations for better health—not just for today, but for the decades ahead.

Available in East Melbourne, Malvern, and via telehealth across Australia.

Perimenopause and menopause affect far more than reproductive hormones. Hormonal fluctuations influence gut health, metabolism, sleep, stress resilience, blood sugar, and inflammation — all of which can contribute to how you feel.

The gut–hormone connection

Address digestion, too

You may also experience digestive concerns such as:

IBS
Bloating
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Excess gas
Indigestion
Acid reflux
Abdominal discomfort

Digestive imbalances can affect nutrient absorption, hormone metabolism, and overall wellbeing. By supporting both hormone and gut health, we develop a more effective, sustainable approach to your symptoms.
