Menopause and PCOS nutrition support

Nutrition care for perimenopause, menopause, and PCOS with a Registered Dietitian, in Wilmington, North Carolina and by telehealth in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

​

Most insurance accepted.

This stage of life attracts a great deal of marketing

Perimenopause and menopause have become a product category.

 

There is a supplement for every symptom, a protocol for every complaint, and a lot of confident advice built on very little evidence.

​

Meanwhile the actual changes are happening.

​

Your cholesterol moves for reasons that have nothing to do with what you are eating.

​

Your sleep breaks and your energy goes with it.

​

Bone density starts to matter in a way it did not before.

​

Blood sugar behaves differently than it did five years ago.

​

And most of it gets waved off as something to put up with.

PCOS tends to get a version of the same treatment, usually delivered as a weight loss instruction with nothing behind it.

​

You deserve better information than that, and it does not have to come with a monthly subscription.

What we work on together

Menopause
nutrition support

  • Protein and bone health, which have genuinely different requirements now than they did in your thirties

  • Cholesterol and blood pressure changes that commonly show up in this window

  • Blood sugar and insulin sensitivity as they shift through perimenopause

  • Energy, sleep, and eating patterns that quietly stopped working

  • Sorting the supplements with evidence behind them from the ones with advertising behind them

  • Eating well alongside hormone therapy, if that is part of your care

PCOS nutrition support

  • Insulin resistance and blood sugar, without a restrictive eating plan

  • What the research actually supports, and what has been oversold in PCOS spaces

  • Fertility related nutrition, if that is on the table for you

  • Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, which get overlooked in PCOS care

  • Eating patterns that hold up long term rather than for six weeks

How this works in practice

We start from what you already eat and already manage, then build from there.

​

Most of what helps in this stage is unglamorous: enough protein, enough fiber, meals that actually happen, and attention to the labs that are moving.

 

I also work with adults navigating thyroid conditions, osteoporosis risk, and the cardiovascular changes that show up alongside menopause.
