Since the most recent release of information showing Hormone Replacement Therapy (aka HRT) increases the risk of everything from breast and lung cancer to diabetes and dementia, thousands of Australian women have been left searching for alternate therapies to relieve the symptoms of menopause.

Expert naturopath and nutritionist Belinda Kirkpatrick and chef, clinical nutritionist, yoga and meditation teacher Lee Holmes from Supercharged Food, have partnered to create a six-week course for women to prepare for and who are experiencing menopause.

Flourish and Nourish Through Menopause is a holistic, intuitive and all-natural program; an online course based on the duo’s own experiences, and that of the women who they both have helped through the issues of menopause. The course is based on the ethos that menopause is a natural process that needs to be supported and understood - from symptom management in peri-menopause to long-term health maintenance in menopause, and beyond into post-menopause. EBook with50+recipes “Menopause can be a very confusing time for women," says Lee. "Almost overnight I noticed my hormones going haywire, my usual sleep was all over the shop and temperature control was swinging from hypothermia to feeling like my body was on fire, then shivering from the effects of night sweats.

“And to think the answers to the flushes were already in my kitchen - just two tablespoons of flaxseed a day calmed them right down! “I am so motivated to offer this course and nutritional information to women all over the world so they no longer have to suffer in silence."

Belinda says: “Over the last 15 years, I have worked with many women and nearly all of them report feeling lost, out of control of their bodies and not sure where to turn for advice and guidance during the menopausal transition.

“I was inspired to create this course to empower women and help them understand what is happening and take back control of their bodies and symptoms.

“I know how effective diet and lifestyle changes can be for managing menopausal symptoms and wanted to share this precious information and support all women as they transition through menopause”.

The course aims to educate and inspire women to take control of their own health using easily accessible whole foods, lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements.

With six modules over a six-week period, the program delivers a thorough remedy for peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause by integrating essential nutrition, gentle exercises and meditation.

They are tailored to not only reduce and relieve menopause symptoms, but to provide women with personalised guidance and, if required, in searching for the right health practitioners to enlist to ensure optimal results.

In keeping with Holmes’ famous foodie reputation, the course includes over 50 simple, economical and fuss-free recipes along with video instructions, taking you from breakfast, lunch and dinner to desserts, snacks and drinks. Turn to the following pages for a four-recipe taster from the book.

“There are instructions, easy to find ingredients and a selection of videos to help make the cooking process even easier,” says Lee.

“Even better is that you don't need to cook twice - these are recipes the whole family can enjoy.

“Each recipe is also able to be mixed and matched to meet yours and your family's taste and requirements.

”All recipes are of course nutritionally balanced to support women with the nutrients they need, with each recipe adaptable to be mixed and matched to meet taste requirements.

“The emphasis is on balance, moderation and celebrating a new and empowering cycle of life,” says Lee. “Flourish and Nourish Through Menopause promotes positivity, self-love and self-acceptance while understanding that the “The message is to be gentle with yourself and to allow flexibility and acceptance in all areas of your life.”
