Women’s Health

With specialist gynaecological dietetic experience within the NHS, I understand how women’s health is shaped by complex interactions between hormones, metabolism, gut health, reproductive health, and lifestyle factors. These influences can change across different life stages, affecting symptoms, nutritional needs, and overall wellbeing.

At Olivia The Dietitian, I provide personalised, clinically informed women’s health nutrition support to help you understand your body, manage symptoms, and optimise wellbeing.

Women’s health concerns I support with


I work with women seeking nutrition support for health concerns, including:

  • Hormonal health and menstrual cycle support, including PMS

  • Fertility and pre-conception nutrition support

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

  • Endometriosis symptoms

  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms, including weight changes, sleep disruptions, and metabolic shifts

  • Bone health and nutrient adequacy (e.g., calcium, vitamin D)

  • Digestive symptoms that overlap with women’s health issues

I tailor care to your specific health context, symptoms, and lifestyle, using evidence-informed nutrition strategies that prioritise overall wellbeing.

Key topics in women’s health


Hormonal balance and the menstrual cycle:

Fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone can influence appetite, energy, digestion, and mood. Nutrition support can help women better understand and manage these cyclical changes.

Fertility and pre-conception nutrition

Nutrition plays an important role in reproductive health and fertility. Dietetic support can help optimise nutritional status when planning for pregnancy, support menstrual cycle health, and address nutritional factors that may influence fertility.

PCOS and metabolic health:

PCOS is one of the most common endocrine conditions affecting women of reproductive age. Individualised nutrition care can support metabolic health, insulin regulation, and symptom management.

Endometriosis symptom support

Emerging evidence suggests targeted dietary patterns may help manage inflammation-related symptoms. Care is personalised, practical, and aligned with your experience.

Peri-menopause and menopause

As hormonal profiles shift over time, nutritional needs and metabolic processes may change. Dietetic support focuses on evidence-informed strategies to help manage common concerns such as sleep, energy, and body composition.

Bone and nutrient health

Women have unique life stage nutrient requirements. Nutrition support includes ensuring adequacy of key micronutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, iron, and B vitamins.

My approach to women’s health


As a Registered Dietitian with prior NHS dietetic experience in acute gynaecology, my approach is grounded in nutritional science and up-held to high professional standards. Dietetic care may involve:

  • Comprehensive assessment of diet, lifestyle, symptoms and health history

  • Consideration of hormonal, metabolic, and gastrointestinal factors

  • Evidence-informed, personalised nutrition strategies

  • Practical meal guidance, symptom management, and behaviour support

  • Ongoing review and adjustment based on response and goals

All recommendations are tailored to your unique context and delivered in a professional, supportive environment.

Why work with a dietitian for women’s health care

Nutrition has a significant role in many aspects of women’s health, yet generic advice often fails to address the nuances of hormonal and reproductive wellbeing. Working with a registered dietitian provides:

  • Personalised nutrition care informed by a clinical professional

  • Strategies that consider hormonal health, life stage, and metabolic needs

  • Consideration of life stage, fertility goals, and overall wellbeing

  • Support that integrates with your lifestyle and daily demands

  • A structured, evidence-informed framework for long-term wellbeing

My role is to help you make informed decisions about food and nutrition that align with your health goals.
