Are you seeing more hair on your brush every day? You are not imagining it.
In midlife, 3 things commonly drive shedding: shifting hormones, low nutrients, and stress/thyroid changes that push follicles into a “resting” phase AND then boom, shedding 2–3 months later.
What YOU NEED to do:
Check ferritin/iron, B12, zinc, thyroid (TSH, FT4/FT3) and make sure they are in the optimal range, not "just in range"! 🏆
Prioritise protein, strength training, and stress care.🏋🧘
Gentle scalp massage & avoid harsh, chemical-loaded ingredient products.
Comment below and tell me your experience, your story with hair loss, I would love to hear what has helped and what hasn't!!

Weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, irritability... is this your new normal?

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and nothing seems to work anymore, I want you to know: you’re not going crazy. You’re not doing it wrong. And you don’t need to just “push through.”

I’m Melissa Buchanan, a Certified Naturopath, Nutritionist & Personal Trainer, and I help women 40+ finally get the real answers they’ve been missing.

If you feel like your body has turned against you, the belly fat, mood swings, sleep issues, and the mental load that no one else sees... it’s not your fault. Most women were never taught how to support their bodies through this transition.

🌿 My approach is gentle, grounded, and built specifically for this phase of life.
Whether you're on HRT or not, we focus on what actually helps:

✅ Herbal medicine & supplements that restore calm, energy, and hormonal balance
✅ Anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar friendly meals that don’t require perfection
✅ Realistic tools for lowering stress and lifting mental fog
✅ Sleep strategies, nervous system support, and basic self-care that truly matter

This is not about “fixing” yourself. It’s about finally understanding your body and learning how to support it with clarity and confidence.

💬 Ready to feel like yourself again without the guesswork?
Let’s chat. I offer a free 15-minute discovery call to see if we’re a good fit.
Send me a DM or head to the link in my bio to book your spot.

You don’t need another quick fix. You need a clear, caring plan built for you.
