T​oday is World Menopause Day​! Th​i​s year's theme is ​'Menopause Hormone Therapy​'.

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and well being​.

​At My Healthy Way ​we are showing our support by offering our free 'Supporting Menopause through Nutrition' webinar at 12:30 today. Nutrition can be such an important factor in supporting symptoms of the menopause. For example, did you know that vitamin C can become depleted through some HRT and is needed to help with hot flushes? Magnesium is important in helping with the increased feelings of stress and anxiety, and a good intake of fibre is essential in balancing oestrogen levels. These are just a couple of examples of the role of nutrition at all stages of the menopause.

If you missed out on a place to join the webinar, why not take a look at our popular 6 week course on the same topic? You can find out more here > https://www.myhealthyway.co.uk/product/supporting-menopause-through-nutrition-course-content/

Menopause affects everyone at some point either directly or indirectly, so let's talk about it and ​s​upport each other.​ 🤗❤️

- Do you struggle with energy, sleep or motivation?

​- Do ​you struggle to get a solid night's sleep and still feel tired even when​ you do​?

- ​D​o you feel like ​you're getting through the day but just do​n​'t have the motivation to really take on the world​ (without 6 cups of coffee first)​?

These symptoms are so common and something so many of us struggle with. It can often result in us looking for quick fix solutions to keep us going as we are so tired, or lying awake for hours at night knowing the next day we are going to feel just as tired.

If this sounds like you, then ​why not try our nutrition and lifestyle course​? D​esigned to help us feel energised, well rested and full of vitality to take on the day ahead.​

There are only a handful of places left on this year's course! Book your place here > https://www.myhealthyway.co.uk/product/energy-sleep-and-motivation/

My Healthy Way is proud to support the NHS Every Mind Matters Campaign. ❤️

The campaign encourages and helps us to ‘find your little big thing’ hero-ing the little things we can do, which can make a big difference to our mental health. These little things can include:

- Getting physically active – like taking a walk
- Managing your thoughts and feelings with the help of CBT
- Talking to someone you trust
- Getting the most from your sleep – like avoiding screen-time an hour before bed or getting out of bed and doing something simple until you feel tired again
- Getting closer to nature
- Planning something nice to look forward to

For better mental health find your little big thing at Every Mind Matters > https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/

The world of nutrition can feel ​very overwhelming, we often think that any nutritional changes need to be really big, but they don’t!

Making changes can be done in small ways, and this is often the most successful way to navigate changes – it removes the pressure you might put on yourself and takes away those feelings of ‘I have been good today', or 'I have been bad today’ and simply helps you understand small steps to take, one at a time before moving onto the next step. 💪

​O​ur 'Fundamentals of well-being through nutrition' course is brilliant for anyone who wants to start understanding the role of nutrition to support physical and emotional health. ​We have limited spaces available for the September and October course, early booking is recommended!

Does your appetite change during the summer? ☀️

Many people find that it can! When we get hot we can often find that not only do we want to eat less then usual, many people can also find sugar cravings go up. If you notice your eating patterns change then listen to your body, and simply try to choose the most nourishing food you can each day. If in doubt, try a good multi vitamin mineral during the summer months so you keep nutrients coming in. Always check it is safe for you to take supplements especially if you have any form of ill health or you are taking any medication. 🥗

As a parent or carer, we can often feel lost knowing that meal times can result in stress and conflict. 😵‍💫

Rainbow eating is all about eating the greatest variety of colour of fruits and vegetables you can 🥗 Can you challenge yourself to eat a rainbow colour of fruits and vegetables either over the course of a day or a week?

This is a brilliant way to increase the variety of nutrients you are getting into your body to boost your wellbeing from the inside out!

Protein is a brilliant food group that has endless health benefits in the body💪

It's great to help recovery after we have done exercise, but the role of protein is even bigger than that. It helps with immunity, healing and repairing, sugar cravings, balancing body weight and so much more.

You can get protein from any animal product, but you can also get it from plant based items such as lentils, chickpeas, beans and all legumes. If you can, your main meals contain around 25% protein!

At My Health Way, we are running online nutrition education courses 🥗

These courses have been designed to talk about different topics of wellbeing and how you can support yourself. 🧘 They are education based rather than talking about a certain diet, simply because research has shown that blanket approaches to diets don't work. The more we can understand our own bodies, and what works for us, the more we can make changes now that are sustainable for our long-term wellbeing. 🤩

Lovely to start seeing the feedback from our first few courses...

Thank you Jen for sharing lots of useful and interesting information over the 6 weeks. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and the weeks went so quickly! lots to take in, and making small changes to improve our well being going forward. Thanks again.

Jen, thank you for this course. I thought I knew how to help myself but what you have delivered has made me realise how much more there was to learn. I have already started to experience improvements in my sleep, mood and skin and can't wait to continue with the changes after these 6 weeks.

Thank you Jen for such entertaining and informative sessions. I really feel I’ve learned so much that I can use in the future and that I’ve had access to an expert in nutrition. Good luck for the future and Thankyou.

The course has been so interesting, lots of really useful info to take away and put into practice. It’s really helped to take that first step towards making positive changes. I’d love to follow up with you to chat about booking an individual consultation to discuss a personalised plan. Hope everyone is feeling lots better after the course, wishing you all the very best xx
