“I hadn’t had a period in years — now everything feels like it’s working again.”

 

The Challenge

Patient S, a female in her late 40’s had spent years feeling out of sync with her body, believing that the process of menopause was the reason why she did not know her own body.

She hadn’t had a natural menstrual cycle in a long time, struggled with chronic loose stools, bloating, and unpredictable digestion, and felt that her weight hadn’t changed in over 15 years, no matter what she tried.

Despite eating well and staying active, her symptoms persisted — and it left her feeling frustrated, sluggish, and disconnected from her body.

Initial blood results showed that Patient S had mildly inflammatory markers and was pre-diabetic.

 

“I was doing all the ‘right’ things — but my body just wasn’t responding. I felt like something deeper was wrong.”

 

 

What We Did Together

Over 12 weeks, we worked together and followed a completely personalised treatment plan, based on Patient S’s blood results and Lifestyle.

What made this programme different?

 

 

  • Her nutritionally rich food diary and symptoms were reviewed in real time, so we could adjust as needed.
  • During our weekly 1:1 video consultations, educational sessions were delivered.
  • Daily support –Offering medical reassurance and support to increase her awareness, I was her accountability partner, too.
  • We focused on improving Patient S’s digestion, hormones, and metabolism
  • The programme was designed and supervised entirely by a UK-trained, GMC-registered doctor (me).

 

Together, we aimed to:

 

  • ALIGN her food, lifestyle, and hormone cycle with what her body needed
  • OPTIMISE hormone signals, digestion, and metabolism
  • MINIMISE symptom flare-ups and the need for supplements or medications

 

What Changed

 

  • Menstrual cycle returned — after years without a period
  • Digestion stabilised — now passing consistent, healthy bowel movements daily
  • Weight loss in areas that hadn’t shifted for 15+ years
  • Abdominal bloating reduced, and she reported feeling “lighter and calmer”
  • Energy levels balanced — no more highs and crashes
  • Confidence and connection to her body restored

 

 

 

End of program

Patient S was discharged from the program with a greater understanding of her body and how her lifestyle and food choices impact not only her digestion, but her overall health. She was also pleased that just through eating a nutritionally rich food she was able to balance her hormones, achieve a weight she no longer thought was possible

 

“It feels like my body is finally working again. My cycle’s back, my digestion’s settled — and I’m no longer second-guessing everything I eat.”
