Let me tell you the menopause story of Laura that almost ruined her life…

Read how Laura started managing her strange menopausal reaction without the use of HRT, extreme diets, or extreme supplementation.

Not too long ago, Laura was in perimenopause and overwhelmed. She literally couldn’t live a normal life. 
She had this skin reaction called Hives… and her skin felt like it was burning, and she had to constantly itch it.

Her weight was creeping up on her, too. She felt low and drained (especially around her cycles).

Her life was being completely ruined. 

Out of complete desperation, she had to go on HRT and take extreme supplementation. She couldn’t handle this anymore.
But here’s the thing: All of the hormones and supplementation just made things worse. 

Yes, she literally began having consistent skin reactions and irritation. 

Something that had NEVER happened to her before. 

She felt defeated when she came to me for help.

And it was clear to me right away that this wasn’t just an “eat this and don’t eat that. And take a bit of this” kind of situation.

We had to investigate what was going on… And more importantly, how to fix it.

Straight away, I sent her an epigenetic test from one of my labs. 

The test would show us how her body processes hormones, toxins and inflammation. 

And taking a look at her results… I immediately noticed the problem…

Laura’s detoxification pathways were genetically compromised. 

In simple terms, her body couldn’t clear out toxins and excess hormones as efficiently as a regular person.

And why does this connect to her issues? Well, believe it or not, our body needs to clear out excess oestrogen on a daily basis.

…And during perimenopause, oestrogen levels are naturally higher than before. And when you’re put on HRT, oestrogen levels go even higher.

So…

If detoxification pathways are slowed down or blocked, oestrogen builds up in your bloodstream and becomes “congested”...

When oestrogen congests your bloodstream… it can lead to… histamine reactions… Hives… Breast tenderness… Mood swings… Heavy periods… Weight gain… and a whole host of troubles.

Now that is definitely not what you want.

In Laura’s case… the one-size-fits-all approach of taking HRT was not only useless but detrimental.

But look… Luckily, she found me, and we sorted things out. By the end of our work together, Laura’s life was transformed! 

Her weight stopped creeping up… Her energy levels were stable… Her mood wasn’t all over the place… 

And… she was back to feeling like herself again.

Want to know what we did? Actually, the plan we made for Laura doesn’t matter. 

What does matter is that while you’re in menopause, you receive a tailored approach specific to your body's genetic and hormonal needs.

In fact, you shouldn’t just care about having tailored support…

You should realise it is essential and the only way to truly defeat your menopausal symptoms.

One-size-fits-all is unfortunately what most doctors and nutritionists tend to use as a first resort. 

You’re either put on a random dose of HRT or a specific diet.

But this clearly isn’t the best. And in some cases can ruin your life.

And why is it not the best? Well, every woman's body is different. 

Different genes. Different detoxification pathways. Different gut microbiome. Different hormone levels. And so on.

So you must understand your body first before going ahead with any sort of plan.

Otherwise, you’re firing arrows blind, hoping your solutions hit the target.

But in the case of menopause, you’re playing with your own future. And that is not something to be played with.

Your future needs a science-based, test-first approach that truly understands the root of your issue and solves it for good.

Now, although Laura’s case seems extreme, it’s not uncommon. 

Menopausal symptoms come in a variety of different flavours. Each requires a brand new set of eyes.

Especially when taking HRT (which I’m not against by the way), I’m a big advocate of knowing your body first.

For example, HRT can be useful in some cases, but the only way to truly know is to test what is really causing your symptoms.
