FOR WOMEN AFTER 45
Nutrition for the body that quietly changed.
Swiss-trained nutritionist working with women through perimenopause, menopause
and the decades that follow. Practical, evidence-based, unhurried.
Through perimenopause & menopause
Practical nutrition for the symptoms that come with this transition — hot flushes, sleep, mood, energy, the brain-fog that catches you mid-sentence.
The quiet shortfalls after 45
Vitamin D, omega-3, magnesium, iron, B12 — the everyday nutrients that quietly fall short in midlife and shape far more than we give them credit for.
Weight & body composition
Why the shape that worked for years suddenly doesn’t, and what actually helps when the old rules stop applying.
Eating well in midlife doesn’t have to be complicated.
I work mostly with women in midlife and beyond — through perimenopause, menopause and the decades that follow. The work is practical and unhurried: a clear look at what’s on your plate now, an honest read of where the small shortfalls and imbalances sit, and a plan that fits the life you actually have. Not someone else’s idea of how a woman over 45 should eat.
THROUGH PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
This is where most of my work happens. Perimenopause rarely arrives with a label — it arrives as sleep that won’t settle, mood that dips for no reason, a thicker middle, a brain that loses a word mid-sentence. Nutrition won’t replace HRT if you need it, and it won’t make a hard stage disappear. But the right pieces in the right order — steady blood sugar, the fats that support mood and brain, the minerals that support sleep and muscle — quietly take the edge off. We work on the small things that compound.
THE QUIET SHORTFALLS AFTER 45
There are a handful of nutrients that drop in midlife without making a fuss — vitamin D, omega-3, magnesium, iron and B12 lead the list. They’re rarely dramatic; most are missed in a routine GP check. But each of them shapes things you do feel: bone density, joints, mood, sleep, brain, skin, heart. A few targeted blood tests at the right time, read properly, give you a much clearer picture than guessing. We work out together what’s worth checking and what to do with the result.
WEIGHT & BODY COMPOSITION
Weight after 45 is not a willpower problem. Estrogen falls, muscle mass quietly drops, sleep changes, stress sits differently — and the body composition rules you grew up with stop applying. I don’t do crash plans or strict diets; they rarely last and they’re unkind to a woman already working hard. Instead we look at what your real week looks like, where the small swaps live, and how to keep the muscle and steady energy that protect you for the next thirty years.

About Astrid
Swiss-trained nutritionist
My journey into nutrition began as a personal one, after struggling with digestive issues, allergies, and body inflammation. I earned a diploma in Nutrition, which gave me the tools to transform my own health. Now, I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and supporting others to improve their quality of life through balanced, healthy eating.
My Approach
I always prioritize nutrients from food first. However, depending on factors such as age, temporary supplementation may be necessary. In some cases, a specific diet might be required. If you’re undergoing medical treatment, I’ll guide you in adopting a diet that supports it.
Under no circumstances do my services replace medical treatments, diagnoses, or advice from healthcare professionals.
My Process
- First Consultation (1 hour): We’ll take an in-depth look at your current lifestyle, childhood, medical history, and food preferences to create a personalized plan.
- Second Consultation (45 minutes to 1 hour): I’ll present tailored recommendations, and together we’ll establish a plan that suits your needs.
- Follow-up Sessions (30 minutes each): The number of follow-up sessions depends on your goals and progress.
Unique Framework
I combine personalized nutrition with a holistic understanding of your individual needs, life stages, and circumstances. My approach prioritizes food-based solutions, but when necessary, food supplements may be temporarily integrated to address specific needs, such as age, lifestyle, or nutrient deficiencies. Together, we’ll create a sustainable plan that evolves with you, focusing on long-term well-being rather than quick fixes.

Beyond BMI: Other True Measures of Health
BMI has its limits, as it doesn’t account for muscle mass, age, gender, or body composition. I use more comprehensive methods that incorporate factors like waistline, hip size, wrist size, and age to provide a clearer picture of your health.
