This simple dietary hack makes a massive difference to your hormone health! 💫

Whenever you sit down to a meal, try to eat your protein first.

Why? When protein hits your stomach before carbohydrates or sugar, it slows down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream. This prevents the sharp blood sugar spikes that force your pancreas to overproduce insulin.

Over time, stabilising your blood sugar with this method drastically reduces stress on your endocrine system, helping to regulate cortisol and support healthier reproductive hormone function (vital for managing conditions like PCOS and PMS). Start with a bite of chicken, eggs, or nuts before you dive into your carbs!

Optimising health for conception is truly a team sport! So often, the focus is placed entirely on the female partner, but the male partner’s health is equally important for a healthy pregnancy and baby 👶

Why does it matter so much? Because s***m quality contributes half the genetic blueprint of the future child. S***m health impacts more than just conception, it plays a role in successful implantation and the overall health of the pregnancy.

If you and your partner are looking for holistic guidance to optimise preconception health, Dr. Nienhuis offers support for both partners. Let’s work together! 💫

It’s easy to feel frustrated when you’re dealing with a range of symptoms, from hormonal acne to anxiety, from period pain to unexplained fatigue. We often treat each symptom in isolation, but your body isn’t a collection of separate parts; it’s a brilliant, interconnected system!

This quote captures the heart of my practice. When we address hormonal imbalance, we look at the whole picture: the stress in your life, the health of your gut, your sleep patterns, and your emotional wellbeing. We see your mind and body not as separate entities to be fixed, but as allies to be nourished.
