Menopause Dietitian, Jenny Bazely

Feeling like you could sleep after lunch? Always reaching for the sugary treats? Can’t fit in your clothes?

Please know you are not alone. The menopause can really impact our diet and lifestyle choices.

Focused diet and lifestyle changes can help you feel like yourself again. Our Leicester based dietitian is a specialist in helping you transform your eating habits.

You can support yourself, much more easily than you think, as well as future proof your health against other chronic diseases with a diet that works for you.

Please don’t spend thousands of pounds every year on supplements that might not help you, or spend hours on the internet listening to what has worked for other people. Your menopause, your health, your symptoms, deserve individualised, practical, evidence based advice that will support you now and long into the future.

nutrition and diet guidance for menopausal women

What's included in a dietitian consultation?

By attending the Leicester clinic (or virtually) to see Jenny you will discuss your diet, lifestyle, and medical history with a qualified dietitian, who will then provide individualised dietary advice to suit you and your lifestyle.

After information gathering, Jenny will focus on what symptoms you have, and/or what you would like to achieve. To ensure we get results that make you feel better, like you again, working changes into your lifestyle is so important. So expect lots of discussion around your lifestyle in an appointment. Every woman is different, so individualised advice is so important.

Expect to come away with around 3 areas of focus on, to try and adapt and change, before a follow up in 4 weeks to see how you have got on. There are lots of layers to dietary advice, so think about your dietetic appointments as making a cake, you will need to layer up the advice over time! Jenny will also provide you with written resources and recipes to help you make changes to your diet.

Please know Jenny is not going to ‘tell you off’, or cast judgment. Also know that dietary changes often means ADDING things to your diet, much more inclusion than exclusion. And please know she will not ask you to weigh your food or count calories. Life is too short for that – you can achieve your goals without micromanaging your diet, with the right help.

Jenny’s consultations are comprehensive opportunity to discuss your complete diet history, current health concerns and you will leave with a plan of how to address your symptoms.

Your appointment will last 45 minutes and will be conducted in our Health Quarters clinic in Leicester OR virtually.

Appointments are avaliable on Thursdays face-to-face or virtually from 9:30am-3:15pm.

Initial consultations are 45 minutes and £120. Follow ups are 30 minutes and £75.
