Menopause Your Way | A Practical Guide by Zosia Gotuje

Description

Understanding changes in your body can feel overwhelming, especially when advice about food, hormones and wellbeing seems to come from every direction. This guide brings together my personal experience, my passion for home cooking and the knowledge I continue to develop through training and trusted health resources. We begin in the kitchen, with practical ways to build balanced meals using everyday ingredients. Then we explore hormones, common menopause symptoms, sleep, changes in body shape and the support available. I’m not a doctor. I write as a woman who understands the importance of finding clear information and manageable ways to look after yourself. The guide draws on resources from the NHS, NICE and the British Dietetic Association. You’ll also find four simple recipes with ingredient quantities and step by step instructions, offering a little inspiration alongside the information.
