Common questions
Good to know before we begin.
Does nutrition replace hormone therapy?
No. Decisions about hormone therapy should be made with an appropriate medical practitioner. Nutrition and lifestyle support can sit alongside that care.
Will I need supplements?
Not necessarily. Food and daily routines come first; supplements are considered individually.
Are consultations available outside Kāpiti?
Yes. Consultations are online and available throughout New Zealand.
