The years before menopause can be be challenging for women. It can be a rollercoaster of heavy periods, migraines, anxiety and fatigue. If you are dreading the days and weeks before your period, this course is for you.
Menopause is not a disease - it is a natural life change - but sometimes the transition can be a little rocky!
Welcome to a comprehensive programme designed to support women naturally through the years before menopause - aka perimenopause.
Designed by experienced Nutritional Therapist, Claire Clerkin, the support programme is your starting point to understanding the rhythm of hormonal changes and the practical things you can do, to support your mental and physical health through this life change.
If you are curious about how and why your hormones are shifting, this is for you!
Through a mix of video masterclasses and the comprehensive guide, the programme will introduce you to a the principles of natural hormone balance.
The content of the course will focus primarily on healthy hormones after 40 - easing the transition into menopause and ensuring that you future-proof your health for the physical changes after menopause.
Step 1: Empower yourself!
The programme includes short masterclass videos that explain the basics of hormone health and why certain diet and lifestyle habits can support hormone balance and ease the transition to menopause.
Step 2: Optimise your Hormone Health
The Hormone Balance Lifestyle Guide includes dietary recommendations, recipes, meal plans and worksheets on nutrition, lifestyle and hormones. Including content on sleep, movement and stress management.
The recipes use ingredients encouraged in the education videos and the meal plans make implementation easy!
You will also have access to mindfulness recordings designed for women navigating the uncertainty of hormone changes.
Step 3: Extra Module - Take Control
Need extra support? The Ultimate programme includes three personal health and life coaching sessions.
Many women find that this life stage presents changes to family, career and purpose. Coupled with increased anxiety and fatigue, this can lead to confusion and frustration. The coaching sessions can be used to support dietary and lifestyle changes recommended in the programme, aid clarity on lifestyle priorities and purpose, or anything in between.

Hi, I am Claire, a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach and Functional Nutrition practitioner.
After more than 12 years helping women navigate through the frustrating symptoms of hormone imbalance, I decided to design a programme that pulls together the simple and effective ways you can balance your hormones in the years before menopause.
Menopause gets a lot of attention, but many women struggle with the often dramatic hormone imbalance that precedes the final period.
In fact, some evidence suggests that supporting healthy hormone balance in the years before menopause can reduce the severity of the transition.
This programme is designed to provide a mix of education and practical advice that I know works - I have seen it time and time again in my clinical practice.

IS PERIMENOPAUSE THE CAUSE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS?
Shifts in hormone balance can affect many parts of your health, in ways that might not seem obvious!
Heavy, flooding periods // Irregular periods // Painful periods

Brain fog // Poor concentration // Loss of Confidence
Body Changes
Headaches or Migraines // Sore Breasts // Aches and Pains
Unexplained palpitations // Vaginal Infections // Hair Loss
Fatigue and Sleep
Low Energy // Insomnia // Night Sweats // Low Motivation
The Perimenopause Support Programme uses safe, evidence-based approached to naturally support hormone in transition.
The programme is not a replacement for medical advice, nor is it designed to diagnose any condition.

The reality is that women’s bodies shift and recalibrate throughout their lifetimes, and particularly in the 5-10 years before menopause.
This programme is designed to address the root causes of hormone imbalance after 40. The diet and lifestyle advice reflects this.
The first step is to understand what is happening in your body. Then, it all makes sense and the diet and lifestyle changes become easy!

- Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this programme suitable for everyone? The programme is suitable for all women over the age of 35. It is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, please make an appointment for personalised advice.
- Will following this programme prevent menopause? No, menopause is a natural evolution of every woman's body. It is not a disorder or illness. Rather, some women find the transition quite difficult - this can be based on genes, previous health issues, diet and stress. This programme helps support the systems that can go out of balance around menopause to promote a healthier transition with fewer ups and downs.
- Can the programme be adjusted to suit my needs? If you would like a tailored programme, please contact Claire for a 1:1 consultation.
- How do I access the content? The online modules and programme guide are available on my learning portal. You will be given access to a learning portal where you can log in and access the materials in your own time.
- I am on the Pill / HRT - is this programme suitable for me? Yes, the principles of the plan will not interfere with your medication.
- Do I need to know how to cook? No! Even though most of the meals should be prepared from scratch, basic skills are all you need. You will be given all the information you need to make the most of the programme.
- Will I need to follow a strict diet? This programme is not an extreme diet, but you will need to commit to making some changes. The programme is self-directed. You will be provided with the guidance and recommendations, but can follow these at your own pace. The only caveat is that you may not notice results as quickly.
- Will I need to take supplements? No, this programme is a foundational, food-based plan.
- Can I follow this programme instead of HRT? This programme does not replace the medical advice from your doctor. It provides advice that is complementary to those on HRT and can support the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause for women who cannot or choose not to use HRT.
- How long will it take to notice results? Each person is different. Some women will notice changes within the first month, but for others, natural hormone balancing can take a little longer, especially with additional support from herbs, supplements or medication. I recommend that you follow the broad plan for at least three months for best results.
