Support for Women’s Health Conditions
Endometriosis
Endometriosis can cause chronic pain, fatigue, heavy bleeding and digestive issues due to inflammation and hormonal imbalances. We can help reduce inflammation, support hormonal regulation, and address any underlying or co-existing conditions common in endometriosis. Through personalised nutritional therapy, we can help manage your endometriosis symptoms to reduce discomfort and improve your overall quality of life.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a widely misunderstood hormonal condition causing irregular cycles, weight gain, skin concerns, fertility issues, hair loss and insulin resistance. Our Perth clinical nutritionists use targeted testing, thorough investigations, and personalised nutritional therapy to resolve unwanted symptoms and allow for more balanced hormones.
Oestrogen Dominance
When the ratio of oestrogen and progesterone are out of alignment. Oestrogen dominance can become an issue. Symptoms may include fatigue, low libido, headaches, menstrual and mood issues, breast tenderness, headaches and nausea. At PHC, our nutritionists investigate thoroughly to assess for underlying drivers of oestrogen dominance so we can effectively treat and restore your hormonal balance.
Fertility
Nutritional therapy plays a key role in fertility. Our clinical nutritionists can identify and correct underlying nutrient deficiencies, improve hormonal balance, and address co-existing conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues that may be playing a role in fertility struggles. Thorough testing and investigations can support both partners in optimising reproductive health and improving chances of conception.
Perimenopause & Menopause
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, insomnia and body aches & pains. By identifying your key hormonal and nutritional imbalances, we can help make this transition smoother and allow for lasting health and wellbeing.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can cause severe mood changes, fatigue, and physical discomfort in the lead up to menstruation. Our clinical nutritionists use functional testing, conventional pathology and nutritional therapy to identify individual drivers of PMDD. Tailored nutritional strategies can help reduce the severity of PMDD symptoms to improve your emotional and physical wellbeing.
Signs You Could Benefit from Seeing a Women’s Health Nutritionist
Heavy, Painful or Irregular Periods
Heavy, painful, or irregular periods are common in women, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal or healthy to suffer every month! These symptoms are often linked to hormonal imbalances, underlying conditions or nutrient deficiencies. We can help by utilising functional testing and nutritional therapy to optimise nutrient status, balance hormones, and promote regular menstrual cycles.
Extreme Mood Swings
Mood swings can result from fluctuating hormone levels or key imbalances or dysfunction in the production and metabolism of hormones. We provide support by thoroughly analysing your whole health, addressing underlying drivers and optimising intake of mood-regulating nutrients, helping to stabilise your emotions and reduce the severity of your mood swings.
Fertility Issues
Fertility issues may be caused by hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or co-existing conditions. Equally, fertility issues can be caused by an irregular cycle and poor timing, or lack of insight into both partner’s hormonal health. Starting with thorough investigations and targeted nutritional therapy can improve your chances for natural conception as well as increase chances of successful implantation via IVF.
Fatigue & Brain Fog
Fatigue, brain fog and insomnia often stem from poor nutrition, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, adrenal dysregulation, or insulin resistance. By investigating and addressing hormonal imbalances, as well as supporting optimal neurotransmitter function, we can restore your energy and vitality for long-term symptom relief.
Skin Disorders
Conditions like acne, eczema, and oily or dry skin are common symptoms of PCOS, PMS, and other hormonal issues. We can optimise hormonal production and metabolism to reduce unwanted symptoms, promote clear, healthy skin and address underlying causes of skin disorders.
Vaginal Health
We support women experiencing recurrent vaginal concerns such as thrush and bacterial vaginosis (BV) through a personalised, evidence-based approach. Our clinical nutritionists use functional testing and targeted strategies to help restore microbial balance, support immune function, and reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
Bloating, Abdominal Pain & Digestive Issues
Bloating and abdominal pain can be linked to hormonal imbalances, particularly in conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, but is also a common symptom of PMS and PMDD. Gut health is a key factor in the production and metabolism of hormones, and gut issues will often go hand-in-hand with digestive complaints. By combining testing and treatment of gut health and hormonal health, we can target treatment accordingly.
Unexplained Weight Loss or Gain
Sudden weight changes are often related to hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or insulin resistance. At Perth Health Collective, our clinical nutritionists assess underlying causes and create a personalised plan focusing on hormone balance, metabolism support, blood sugar regulation, and thorough thyroid investigation and treatment to resolve unwanted weight fluctuations.
Headaches & Lethargy
Headaches and lethargy are common in cases of hormonal dysregulation. They can be linked to menstrual hormone fluctuations or imbalances, insulin resistance, hypothyroid or oestrogen dominance. Thorough investigating is key to identifying unique drivers of headaches and lethargy to individualise treatment.
