How Nutrition Can Help You Manage Your Menopause – The Happy Menopause Podcast

Season 2 • Episode 4
Jackie Lynch, Registered Nutritional Therapist & Author

It’s October at last and my regular listeners will know that my new book The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition to Help You Flourish comes out this month. This book has been burning away inside me for a long time now, as there simply isn’t enough information out there to support women during this hugely transitional phase of life. So I’ve drawn on  my clinical expertise and included all the information about diet and lifestyle that you could wish for to empower you to build you own menopause diet and specifically target the symptoms that are troubling you. It really is the one-stop solution for every woman juggling her menopause with the daily challenges of a busy life.

This episode provides a sneak preview to some of the diet and lifestyle advice in the book. I’ve invited my colleague and friend Christien Bird of the excellent White Hart Clinic to interview me today, because I’d like you to get the perspective of another health professional. Christien is a Chartered Women’s Health Physiotherapist and features in Season 1, talking about bone health. She’s a stickler for a proper evidence-based approach, so if she approves, then it’s definitely a good sign. I know she’ll take her usual forensic approach to questioning me, so that you can be sure to get an objective inside track on the book.

We discuss my favourite nutritional strategy for managing menopause symptoms and take a deep dive into the range of different symptoms that can affect women and how the right diet can make a material difference to how you feel in your 40s, 50s and beyond. Find out why this is really not the time for a crash diet and why magnesium is every menopausal woman’s best friend.
