My story

Hi, I’m Sheetal. I'm 48, mum of two teenagers and perimenopausal.

My symptoms were anxiety, brain fog, and tiredness and I just felt 'out of sorts'. Getting long Covid didn't help either.

I've lead a fairly healthy lifestyle, it is after all my passion. But the perimenopause and the general busyness of midlife - working, raising a family, and building a business - made me realise that I needed to prioritise my own self care and wellbeing even more. 

And this is where the six pillars of health have really helped me manage my symptoms and feel more like myself again. That, and HRT!

 Thanks to the six pillars of health framework, I now:

• eat healthy, snack less and don't worry about my weight

• move/exercise regularly 

• sleep like a baby

• meditate daily 

• drink less alcohol

• nurture relationships with the people that matter to me

The effects have been life changing. I feel more energised, less stressed, more calm, have greater clarity of thought and am more productive. 

The six pillars of health are an essential part of my life, and I couldn’t live it any other way.

In my conversations with peers about menopause, I've noticed varied experiences, often marked by confusion and lack of support, impacting relationships and work.

This is where I really believe I can help. Drawing on my background as a pharmacist, I offer informed discussions on treatment options like HRT and supplements. Additionally, as a Lifestyle Medicine Professional, I guide you in optimising healthy lifestyle choices, merging healthcare with holistic well-being.

Rest assured, you're not alone. I'm here to listen, educate, and support you in achieving a healthier, happier lifestyle during menopause, helping you reconnect with your vibrant self.
