Personalised Nutrition for Women with Hormone Imbalances, Stubborn Weight & Intimate Health Issues
Struggling with hormone symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cravings or irregular periods?
Hi, I'm Lisa
BANT registered Nutritionist & health coach, based in Manchester & online across the UK. Specialising in female hormone balance, intimate health & weight loss.
You’re not imagining it. The bloating, fatigue, mood swings, cravings, stubborn weight gain, and cycle changes, they’re real. Whether you have a diagnosis or you’ve been told everything looks “normal,” you’re in the right place.
I support women like you who feel stuck, or confused by what’s happening in their body. Whether it's intimate health problems, or you’ve been given a diagnosis like PCOS, Endometriosis or perimenopause or hypothyroidism, or you’re still trying to piece it all together, I can help you get to the root of your symptoms, and finally make sense of them.
Tired of hormone symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, cravings or unpredictable periods?
Does This Sound Like You?
Common Reasons Women Work With Me:
-
You’re gaining weight (especially around your middle) and nothing shifts it
-
You feel tired all the time – even after a full night’s sleep
-
Your periods, mood or skin have changed and it’s hard to know why
-
You have a diagnosis or suspect PCOS, perimenopause, endometriosis, thyroid issues or something hormonal is going on
-
You’ve had blood tests or scans that came back “normal” – but you feel far from it
-
You’ve tried eating well, exercising more, or cutting back – but it’s not working
Maybe you’ve tried to eat well, even tried cutting carbs, or calories or going gluten, dairy or caffeine-free… But you still feel stuck in your body, like something just isn’t right.
You Google for answers and feel overwhelmed, and social media is full of fads or misinformation that makes it all even more confusing.
Whether it’s hormonal imbalances like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or perimenopause starting in your late 30s or 40s, a possible thyroid slowdown, or unbalanced hormones from years of stress…you shouldn’t have to guess what’s going on.
What Causes Hormone Imbalances?
Hormones don’t go out of balance for no reason. If you’re struggling with fatigue, weight gain, cravings, painful or irregular periods, mood swings or intimate health issues, the real question is: what’s driving the hormonal imbalance?
Here are some of the most common root causes I see in clinic:
-
Blood sugar imbalances – irregular meals, sugar, or carb-heavy diets can throw off insulin and cortisol levels
-
Chronic stress – too much stress depletes progesterone and disrupts your cycle, energy, and sleep
-
Poor gut health – your gut helps clear excess oestrogen and make nutrients needed for hormone balance
-
Nutrient deficiencies – low levels of magnesium, vitamin D, B vitamins, iodine or zinc can affect your thyroid and hormones
-
Thyroid dysfunction – often missed or dismissed, even when symptoms are clear
-
Oestrogen overload – driven by poor detox, gut issues, weight gain or synthetic hormone exposure
-
Sleep problems – disrupt hormone repair, metabolism, and mood regulation
-
Environmental toxins – plastics, pesticides, skincare and cookware that disrupt hormone signalling
-
Histamine intolerance – worsens PMS, heavy periods, anxiety, migraines and gut symptoms
-
Post-pill or contraceptive after-effects – can suppress ovulation, alter gut flora and deplete key nutrients
-
Weight changes – both excess weight and very low body fat can impact hormone production
-
Genetic Variants (SNPs) – Certain genetic variants, known as SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), can affect how your body processes hormones, detoxifies oestrogen, clears histamine, or responds to stress, making you more prone to symptoms like PMS, migraines, fatigue or oestrogen dominance. While genes aren’t your destiny, understanding your unique blueprint can help tailor nutrition and lifestyle support to what your body truly needs.
No two women are the same. That’s why I use a root cause, whole-person approach to help you figure out what’s really going on – and support your body to rebalance naturally.

What makes nutrition support for hormone health so important?
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, influencing everything from energy levels, intimate health and weight regulation to mood, sleep, skin health and overall wellbeing. When hormones are out of balance, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including irregular periods, PMS, PMDD, PCOS, thyroid issues, weight gain, acne, mood swings, fatigue, and more. Good nutrition is one of the most powerful ways to support your hormones and regain balance. Here’s why: •Root Cause Support: Many hormonal imbalances are linked to diet and lifestyle factors, such as blood sugar instability, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies. A tailored nutrition plan helps address these root causes. •Improved Symptoms: The right foods and nutrients can ease symptoms like bloating, cravings, low energy, or irregular cycles, giving your body the tools it needs to function optimally. •Prevention: Nutrition can help prevent long-term complications of hormone imbalances, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. •Personalised Solutions: Everyone’s hormonal needs are different. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or thyroid issues, personalised nutrition ensures your plan is tailored to your unique symptoms and health goals. Through a functional medicine approach, I’ll help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and provide simple, achievable steps to improve your hormone health. By focusing on the right balance of foods, nutrients, and lifestyle changes, you can feel more energised, balanced, and in control of your health—no matter your age or stage of life. If you’re ready to stop struggling and start feeling better, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
