Did you know that maintaining a healthy weight plays a vital role in gynaecological health. From hormonal balance to managing conditions like PCOS, endometriosis or fertility challenges, weight management can be transformative. Let’s help you personalise your weight management through nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes and weight loss treatment injections.
Do you know that visceral fat acts like an endocrine organ – releasing inflammatory cytokines and excess oestrogen that directly impact gynaecological health. Your weight management in PCOS improves insulin sensitivity to regulate menstrual cycles, it lowers oestrogen production to slow the growth of endometriosis lesions, restores ovulation leading to higher conception rates in those suffering from fertility issues, and reduces oestrogen driven cell growth to prevent cancers. Excessive weight disrupts hormonal balance and even 5-10% of weight loss can restore ovulation to boost fertility, reduces endometriosis pain and lowers endometrial cancer risk by 20-30%.
Our nutritionist can help plan a hormone regulating nutrition including low-glycaemic, anti-inflammatory diets to improve insulin sensitivity, while metabolic testing for thyroid issues for example can unlock some answers as well and our weight management consultant advocates use of GLP-1 agonists (Mounjaro) if BMI ≥30 as part of the preventive treatment.
