Today, Michelle speaks with Elaine Godley, founder of the Perfect Health Hub and a qualified nutritionist with a remarkable journey of overcoming serious health challenges, including stage 4 cancer. Elaine shares her unique perspective on menopause, emphasizing the critical connection between overall health, nutrition, and mindset during this life transition. With a focus on practical strategies, she discusses common dietary mistakes women make during perimenopause and menopause, the importance of maintaining a balanced diet, and the impact of stress on hormonal health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are crucial for managing menopause symptoms. Emphasizing whole, organic foods and minimizing processed options can lead to a smoother transition.

• Maintaining a positive and realistic mindset can significantly influence how women experience menopause. Self-talk and affirmations play a vital role in shaping one's health and well-being.

• Each woman's body is unique, and it's essential to understand individual nutritional needs. Home testing for mineral levels can help tailor dietary choices to support overall health.

• Organisations should prioritize health and well-being by providing education and resources about menopause. Open communication and supportive policies can help retain employees and improve workplace morale.

• Reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in processed foods and plastics is important for hormonal balance. Choosing natural, unprocessed options can mitigate these risks.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you're going into menopause, it's so important to eat well, to think well."

"Fear is the biggest cause of illness; when people are frightened, your whole body picks up the fear."

"It's important to filter and to remineralise. And it's the minerals that's important, particularly when going through the menopause ages."

"Employers do need to make health and well-being an important part of workplace day-to-day activities."
