Mood swings? Weight gain? Anxiety? Waking up to sweat-soaked pyjamas and bedsheets? Brain fog? Your (or your clients) body suddenly starts doing a lot of stuff differently. Perimenopause is when you might start noticing changes to her body, energy levels, memory and mood.\u00a0 This can be 5-10 years before the menopause (when your periods finally end) and can easily be missed causing many people to suffer unnecessarily.\u00a0Understanding what is happening to your body and identifying perimenopausal symptoms is key to starting to take control of the perimenopausal journey.<\/p>\n

Hormone Healthy Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

E<\/strong>damame hummus<\/strong><\/p>\n

A delicious alternative to chickpea hummus. Use it in your sandwich or spread it on crackers and or use it as a perfect dip for veg sticks or pita bread. Not only is it rich in protein and fibre, but edamame beans are also rich in isoflavones. These plant phytoestrogens may be useful in relieving perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.<\/p>\n

130g edamame beans precooked<\/p>\n

100g green peas (frozen)<\/p>\n

1 tbsp tahini<\/p>\n

Half a shallot (or a spring onion)<\/p>\n

1 tbsp olive<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper to season<\/p>\n

Optional seasonings: chilli flakes, coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic or parsley.<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour in oil until the mixture is a creamy texture. Add your preferred seasoning.<\/p>\n
