Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable if I am on HRT?

Yes. Our approach works alongside HRT and focuses on metabolic, gut and nervous system support that HRT alone does not address.

Do you focus on weight loss?

Weight changes are addressed, but symptom improvement comes first. When the body is supported correctly, weight regulation often follows naturally.

Is this a diet?

No. This is a physiology led therapeutic approach, not a calorie controlled diet.

How personalised is the plan?

It is completely bespoke. Your symptoms, history, lifestyle and response guide every phase.

How long does it take to feel results?

Many clients notice improvements in energy, sleep and cravings within weeks, but menopause support is individual and not rushed.

What is phased metabolic rebuilding?

This is the deliberate, step-by-step restoration of metabolic function once menopause symptoms are stabilised. It is not weight-loss first, calorie restriction, or pushing intensity. In menopause, metabolism responds best when the body feels safe, fuelled and hormonally supported. Here’s what it actually means in practice — and why it matters.

During perimenopause and menopause, declining oestrogen affects:

  • Insulin sensitivity → easier fat storage, harder fat release
  • Muscle protein synthesis → loss of lean mass
  • Mitochondrial efficiency → lower energy production
  • Cortisol regulation → stress-driven weight gain
  • Thyroid signalling → slower metabolic rate in some women

If you try to “force” fat loss before stabilising these systems, the body often responds with:

  • Worsening hot flushes
  • Increased fatigue
  • Sleep disruption
  • Stronger cravings
  • Weight plateau or rebound

Phased metabolic rebuilding help prevent this.

Do you offer remote support?

Yes. All consultations and support can be delivered remotely online, making expert menopause care accessible wherever you live.
