Nutrition Therapy

What is nutrition therapy?

Nutrition therapy is a personalized approach to improving your health through the foods you eat. Margaret works with you to create a plan that meets your nutritional needs and goals. By focusing on the right balance of nutrients, you can support your body and overall well-being with age.

Whether you have a specific health concern or simply want to make healthier eating choices, Margaret can provide expert advice to help you feel your best.

How can a woman’s nutritional needs change with age?

Your nutritional needs can evolve over time due to changes in your body and lifestyle. For instance, you may need more calcium and vitamin D to support bone health as you age. Since your metabolism may slow down, portion control and balanced eating become more critical.

Hormonal shifts during menopause can also influence dietary needs, requiring adjustments for better hormone balance. Your digestive health may also change, making fiber and hydration key for regularity. 

Increasing your protein intake may help support muscle mass and strength. Staying aware of these changes can help tailor your diet to support your health and well-being as you age.

What are the benefits of nutrition therapy for women?

Nutrition therapy offers women numerous health benefits by focusing on the proper nutrients and eating habits tailored to their needs. Some unique advantages include:

Hormonal support

Nutrition tailored to your hormonal needs can help regulate hormone levels, easing menopausal symptoms and promoting better health.

Strengthened bones

Nutrition therapy emphasizes calcium and vitamin D-rich foods to support bone density and reduce the risk of fractures for women at risk of osteoporosis.

Heart protection

Eating heart-healthy foods, like those rich in omega-3 fatty acids, can help manage cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health.

Weight stabilization

Personalized dietary plans can help you manage weight gain often experienced during mid-life.

Digestive health

Focusing on fiber and hydration improves gut health, promoting regularity and reducing discomfort.

Mood enhancement

Certain nutrients, like B vitamins, can support brain function and emotional well-being, helping to stabilize your mood.
