As comes to an end, I promised to share more on commonly used supplements in perimenopause.

I already mentioned vitamin D, calcium and omega-3, which play important roles in the body through menopause.

Below are some other commonly used supplements during perimenopause, and what benefits they may bring - some with less evidence of effectiveness than others:

🔴 Magnesium - may be beneficial in supporting better sleep (not only in menopause), but may not work for all.

⚪️ Turmeric Root extract - linked to reduced menopausal symptoms like hot flushes but studies are still limited.

🟢 Phytoestrogens - naturally found in tofu and soy beans, in supplemental form it is often as soy isoflavones - these can reduce hot flushes.

⚫️ Ashwagandha - may help with sleep issues and anxiety as well as menopausal symptoms like hot flushes - but evidence is limited.

🔴 Adaptogens- these may enhance the body’s defences against stress

As with most supplements, it is important to monitor if they are having a positive effect or not, so for most of the above you might want to try them, one at a time, for a period of time but stop if it is not adding an benefit or improvement to your symptoms.

Cysteine is a building block of protein that may be low in people with PCOS, causing some stubborn and difficult-to-manage symptoms…

You may find that a NAC supplement can help with this, but there are also foods that you can include in your diet to help boost cysteine levels and get you back on track:

🍗Chicken
🐟Tuna
🥩Beef
🥣Oats
🥙Lentils
🌻Sunflower Seeds

These may not be the fix-all solution, but diet is always a great starting point before thinking about supplements.

Wondering what makes a PCOS-friendly lunchbox? 💡It’s all about supporting your energy, cravings, hormones & overall well-being through food.

✅ Protein helps balance blood sugar and keeps you feeling full for longer.
✅ Complex carbs (like wholegrains, legumes & starchy veg) give you steady energy and help curb those refined carb cravings.
✅ Fibre (think veggies + wholegrains) supports digestion and is packed with nutrients your body loves.
✅ Healthy fats (especially omega-3s) help regulate hormones, support brain function, and give you that post-lunch focus.

Small changes, like building a balanced lunchbox, can make a big difference.

What’s your go-to PCOS-friendly lunch?

As it is getting colder I am finding myself wanting more and more soups.

So I've been using the veggies from my weekly veg box to make a different soup each week....

This one is not only autumnal but also very festive as we get closer to Halloween!

Squash and ginger soup.... check my website for the recipe!

It is World Menopause Day and this year's theme is Lifestyle Medicine.

A recent systematic review was published looking at lifestyle medicine interventions like diet, physical activity, mental well being, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep and healthy relationships in menopause and their effect on symptoms and common menopause-related issues.

They found that lifestyle medicine interventions were associated with:

🔴 reductions in vasomotor symptoms,
🟢 improved sleep quality,
⚪️ enhanced mental well-being,
⚫️ healthier weight regulation, and
🔴 reduced cardiometabolic and osteoporosis risk.

Other important factors included a multidisciplinary and person-centered approach which was found to improve adherence and patient-reported outcomes. Which means find a team who puts you at the centre of your care and includes not only a great GP but also dietitian, trainer, pelvic floor specialist, OBGYN,..... whichever is more relevant for you.

As it is and soon it is a perfect time to explore the intersection between PCOS and Menopause. 💃

🔴Of course, we still have lots to learn in this space, but we know that in PCOS we may have low levels of oestrogen and progesterone (which can contribute to irregular periods) as well as high testosterone levels

⚪️ During menopause we see a fall in all these hormones - oestrogen and progesterone and testosterone. This means worsened symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles as well as memory problems, brain fog, reduced stamina, fatigue and low libido.

⚫️So we see there is an overlap of symptoms which could be caused by PCOS or perimenopause, and perimenopause can worsen PCOS symptoms.

The good news?

🟢Some studies suggest that those with PCOS tend to go through menopause around 2 years later than those without PCOS, and are less likely to experience symptoms like hot flashes and sweating.
