A menopause nutritionist helps women understand how food, lifestyle and health history may be affecting how they feel through perimenopause, menopause and midlife.
At Gutsy Solution, the focus is practical, personalised nutrition support for things like bloating, digestion changes, energy dips, food confusion, cravings, changing body composition and feeling stuck with what to eat.
It’s not about restrictive dieting, shame or chasing the latest wellness trend. It is about helping you build a way of eating that supports your body, your lifestyle and this stage of life.

I mainly support women in midlife, including perimenopause, menopause, post menopause. You do not need to have a formal ‘menopause diagnosis’ to work with me.
Many women come because something has shifted, digestion, energy, weight, sleep cravings, mood, confidence or their relationship with food, and they want clear, practical nutrition guidance.
However old you are, if you feel like your body is no longer responding the way it used to, this support may be a good fit.

Nutrition can play an important role in supporting digestion and gut health, especially when bloating, bowel changes or food restrictions seem to be getting in the way of daily life.
The goal is not to randomly cut foods or follow a long list of rules.
We look at your current eating patterns, symptoms, stress, routine, medical history and lifestyle to identify practical changes that make sense for you.
If something needs medical investigation, I will encourage you to speak to your GP or relevant health professional.

Yes, I support women who are dealing with midlife weight changes, but the approach is not based on crash dieting or extreme restriction.
In perimenopause and menopause, body composition can be influenced by many factors, including hormones, sleep, stress, muscle mass, activity, appetite, digestion and eating patterns.
We focus on nourishing your body, supporting metabolism, improving consistency and reducing the all-or-nothing cycle around food.
Weight may be one part of the conversation, but its not the whole story.

No. This is not a strict diet plan, detox, cleanse or one-size-fits-all meal plan.
You will receive personalised nutrition guidance based on your goals, symptoms, preferences, lifestyle and health history. The aim is to help you feel clearer, more confident and more supported with food, not more restricted.
If structure helps you, we can create simple meal ideas, food swaps and practical strategies.
But the goal is always something you can actually live with.

The free chat is a short, no-pressure conversation to see what’s going on for you and whether Gutsy Solution is the right fit.
We briefly talk about what you are struggling with, what kind of support you are looking for and which step makes the most sense.
You do not need to prepare anything. It is simply a chance to ask questions and see if working together feels right.

The Gutsy Clarity session is a practical 1:1 nutrition session designed to help you understand what may be contributing to your current food, digestion or midlife health challenges.
It is ideal if you feel overwhelmed, confused about what to eat, or unsure where to start.
You will leave with clearer direction and realistic steps, rather than another list of rules or generic advice.

Yes. Appointments are available online, so you can work with Gutsy Solution from home.
This is helpful if you are busy, live outside the Sunshine Coast, or simply prefer the convenience of telehealth
Local Sunshine Coast clients are welcome too, and the support is designed to feel personal whether we meet online or locally.

Yes. Gutsy Solution is based on the Sunshine Coast and supports women locally, as well as online.
If you are searching for a menopause nutritionist on the Sunshine Coast, Gutsy Solution offers practical nutrition support for women navigating midlife, gut health and menopause related body changes.

No, you do not need blood tests before booking a free chat or starting with a Gutsy Clarity session.
If you already have recent blood test results, you can bring them along and we can consider them as part of the bigger picture.
If further investigation may be useful, I may suggest speaking with your GP or another appropriate health professional.

Not automatically.
There is no blanket rule that every woman in menopause needs to cut gluten, dairy, coffee or wine. That kind of advice is often too simplistic and can make food feel more stressful than it needs to be.
We look at what is actually happening for you, what you enjoy, what your body seems to tolerate, and what changes are realistic. Sometimes small adjustments are more useful than cutting everything out.

Gutsy Solution may be suitable if you experience bloating, digestive discomfort, bowel changes, or ongoing gut health concerns.
Your support will depend on your symptoms, health history and whether anything needs medical investigation.
Nutrition can be part of supporting gut health, but it is important not to ignore red flags or assume everything is ‘just menopause’.
If needed, I will recommend that you speak with your GP or relevant health professional.

It depends on your goals and how much support you want.
Some women start with a Gutsy Clarity session to get direction and simple next steps.
Others benefit from ongoing 1:1 support to build consistency, adjust strategies and feel supported over time.
We can talk through the best option during your free chat.

This depends on your health fund and level of cover.
You will need to check directly with your provider to confirm whether nutrition consultations are included.
If available, Gutsy Solution can supply a provider number and relevant receipts for you to submit a claim.

This may be a good fit if you are a midlife woman who feels confused about food, frustrated with body changes, tired of restrictive diets, or unsure how to support your digestion, energy and wellbeing through menopause.
It’s especially suited to women who want practical, personalised, evidence-informed support without shame, extremes or generic meal plans.
