Feeling better after menopause starts with understanding what your body needs now.
Menopause changes things. But it doesn’t mean you have to settle for feeling less like yourself.
If you’re post-menopausal and want to feel better - you’re in the right place.

You deserve to feel good in your body and confident about your health - at every stage of life.
Perhaps your body feels unfamiliar.
Your weight has shifted.
Your energy has dipped.
You’re finding it harder to concentrate and think clearly.
Maybe the things that used to work for you no longer seem to have the same effect.
Perhaps you feel an urgency to protect your health and feel well for the years ahead.
Whatever your experience, you deserve to feel listened to, understood and supported.
I’m Kirsty, a registered nutritionist specialising in midlife and post-menopausal health. I help women make sense of the changes they’re experiencing and take a more informed, personalised approach to nutrition and lifestyle.
My approach is built around personalised nutrition and The Carb-Conscious Method - a flexible, evidence-informed way of thinking about food that puts protein, fibre, nourishing fats and more considered carbohydrate choices at the heart of healthy eating.
My work brings together nutritional science, individual health needs, and practical changes that fit into real life. Whether your priorities are body composition, energy, metabolic health, digestive wellbeing or healthy ageing, we’ll look at the bigger picture - not just what you eat, but what your body needs now.
You may not be able to turn back the clock, but you can feel better after menopause.
Your biology has changed. Your approach to nutrition may need to change too.
You may have spent years knowing what worked for your body. You understood your appetite, your energy, your weight and how to look after yourself.
Then midlife arrived and the hormonal changes that brings, and perhaps some of that changed.
You might be eating much as you always have, yet noticing changes in your waistline.
You may be exercising but not seeing the results you expected.
Perhaps your concentration, sleep or energy aren’t quite what they used to be.
Or, you may simply have reached a point where you want to take your long-term health more seriously.
It’s easy to feel frustrated, confused or even a little disconnected from your body. But these changes aren’t a personal failing, and they don’t mean you’ve run out of options.
The hormonal shifts of menopause can influence body composition, blood sugar regulation, brain function, cardiovascular and metabolic health. Understanding these biological changes gives us a better starting point for making nutritional and lifestyle choices that are appropriate for this stage of life.
This isn’t about chasing your younger body. It’s about supporting the body you have now, and nourishing it in a way that works with your changed biology.
A few of the ways I can help you
Better after menopause
Improved general health
Relieve stress
Manage digestive issues
Feel more energetic
Enhance cognitive health
More than weight. A bigger picture of health
Menopause can change the way your body responds to food, exercise, and everyday life. And while changes in weight and body composition may be what first brings many women looking for support, there’s so much more to consider.
My work focuses on three important areas of health after menopause.
Body composition and physical wellbeing
Supporting muscle maintenance, strength and healthy body composition through appropriate nutrition, movement and sustainable lifestyle changes.
Metabolic health
Understanding the importance of blood glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health, and how nutrition can help support these important aspects of long-term wellbeing.
Brain health & healthy ageing
Exploring the role of nutrition and lifestyle in supporting cognitive health, energy, sleep and overall wellbeing as you get older.
Find the support that’s right for you
Whether you want individual guidance tailored to your health needs or would prefer to take action alongside other women, there are different ways we can work together.
Personalised 1:1 nutrition
For women who want a more individual approach, with time to explore their health history, symptoms, nutritional needs and goals. We’ll look at the bigger picture and develop a personalised strategy, with ongoing support to help you put changes into practice.
Lighter, Sharper, Better - The Carb-Conscious Reset
A practical online group programme for midlife and post-menopausal women who want to understand how their nutritional needs change and learn how to put The Carb-Conscious Method into practice. Explore food choices, learn how the changed biology of midlife affects metabolic health and embed sustainable habits alongside other women with similar goals.
Looking for support with your digestive health?
Alongside my work with midlife and post-menopausal women, I also offer personalised nutrition for adults experiencing digestive concerns.
Whether your struggling with IBS-type symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, and bloating, reflux, or suspected SIBO, we can explore your individual circumstances and consider how nutritional and lifestyle strategies may help support your digestive wellbeing.

My aim is to help you feel informed, supported and confident in the choices you’re making to achieve self-empowered health and wellbeing.
A personalised approach, built around you.
There is no single nutritional approach that works for every woman after menopause. Your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, preferences and goals all matter.
My approach combines nutritional science with an understanding of the changes that can occur during midlife and beyond. Together, we’ll look at your individual needs and identify practical changes that are realistic, sustainable and appropriate for you.
What you can expect:
A whole-person perspective. Looking beyond individual symptoms to understand the wider picture of your health.
Personalised nutritional strategies. Recommendations informed by your health history, nutritional needs and goals - not generic protocols.
A practical approach to food. No extreme diets or unnecessary restrictions. Just a better understanding of how to nourish your body at this stage of life
The Carb-Conscious Method. An important part of my work, helping women make more considered choices around carbohydrates, protein, fibre and healthy fats.
Nourishment beyond food. Light, nature, and movement are as important to health as what we eat - this is woven into my approach.
Ongoing guidance and support. Helping you put changes into practice, review progress and adapt your approach as your needs evolve.
