Common Women's Health and Hormonal Imbalances We Treat
A personalized nutrition plan can help you manage any of the following conditions and their related symptoms:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS/PMOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) comes with several frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms, including unpredictable cycles, stubborn weight gain, acne, and thinning hair. This can lead to an overproduction of androgen hormones, cysts in the ovaries, insulin resistance, an irregular menstrual cycle, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Thyroid and Hashimoto's
With these conditions, the metabolism is increased or decreased, causing fatigue, jitteriness, bowel movement issues, irregular menstrual cycle, excessive weight gain or loss, memory problems, heat or cold intolerance, sleep issues, and changes in appetite. These autoimmune disorders are often caused by fluctuations in the TSH hormone.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Some pregnancy-related anxieties that nutrition can help include managing morning sickness, navigating cravings, gaining a sustainable amount of weight, and preventing key nutrient deficiencies. During this time, women experience changes in a variety of hormones that can affect food consumption.
Menopause
Some challenging symptoms of perimenopause and menopause include disruptive hot flashes, poor sleep, mood swings, and confusing changes in body composition. These symptoms are often due to women’s ovaries producing less estrogen and progesterone hormones.
Amenorrhea and Oligomenorrhea
These conditions are characterized by the absence of menstruation or infrequent menstruation, respectively. They can often be related to other conditions like PCOS or even chronic underfueling, which affects the production of various hormones.
A Personalized Nutrition Plan for Every Stage of Life
We provide solutions for several women’s health conditions, no matter what stage of life you are in. Our team is passionate about helping women feel heard and seen in their treatment plans, using nutrition to support hormone imbalances, PCOS, menopause, pregnancy, and more.
Find Relief With a PMOS Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists can create a plan focused on balancing blood sugar, incorporating anti-inflammatory foods, and using targeted nutrients to restore balance with PMOS. Some positive outcomes can include achieving more regular menstrual cycles, managing weight effectively, enjoying clearer skin, and reducing the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Work With a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for Menopause
A dietitian specializing in menopause will create a plan to manage symptoms through food, such as incorporating phytoestrogens, calcium-rich foods, and sustainable fats. With the right plan, you could benefit from better sleep, more stable moods, maintaining a goal weight without extreme dieting, and protecting long-term bone and heart health.
Nourish Your Body Through Pregnancy and Postpartum
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist can be an essential member of your prenatal and postnatal care team. We move beyond the cliché of “eating for two” and frame nutrition as the foundational block for a low-stress pregnancy and a thriving baby. With Doherty Nutrition, our targeted support involves creating a plan to lower the risk of gestational diabetes and ensuring optimal intake of folate, iron, and DHA for the baby’s brain development. We also provide nutritional support after the birth, with strategies for postpartum recovery and nutrition for successful lactation.
