Struggling with Menopause Weight Gain?

You’re not imagining it and you’re not doing anything “wrong”.

Your body is changing, and it needs a different approach.

I help women in their 40s and beyond understand what’s happening in their bodies and build a clear, practical plan to feel more in control again, without extreme dieting.

This might sound familiar…

• You feel like you’re doing all the “right things” but the scales keep creeping up
• What used to work for your weight or energy just… doesn’t anymore
• You’re trying to be mindful with food but still feel stuck or confused
• You’ve read conflicting advice and don’t know what actually applies to you
• You’re tired of second-guessing yourself

If this is you, you’re in the right place.

Menopause changes your body, but not in the way most advice explains.

During this stage of life, your body goes through real physiological shifts that can impact:

• How and where your body stores fat
• Muscle mass and metabolism
• Appetite, hunger and energy levels

This means the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s often don’t work in the same way anymore.

This isn’t about willpower, it’s about understanding what your body needs now.

Hi, I’m Kirstin

I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a special interest in menopause nutrition.

I work with women navigating this stage of life who feel frustrated, stuck, or confused by the changes happening in their bodies. My approach is evidence-based, practical and realistic, no extremes, no overwhelm.

As a woman in my 40s myself, I understand just how different things can start to feel and how important it is to have guidance you can trust.

My practice, CHEW Nutrition, is a fully digital practice. My clients love the flexibility of online appointments: no travel, no parking hassles and easy to fit around busy schedules.

I’m committed to supporting you and telehealth allows me to support clients from all across Australia (and the world). All you need is an internet connection and a laptop, computer or phone – it’s that simple!

Introducing my Menopause Nutrition Kickstart Package

This is my most popular package. It is a structured starting point designed to help you understand your body, identify what’s driving your symptoms and create a personalised plan that actually works for this stage of life.

Here’s how we work together:

Step 1: Comprehensive Initial Consultation (60 minutes)
We take a deep dive into your health, lifestyle, symptoms and current habits to understand the full picture, not just one piece of the puzzle.

Step 2: Personalised Nutrition Roadmap
From the information collected in the initial session, I will develop your personalised menopause nutrition roadmap, containing practical, realistic strategies tailored to you, no rigid rules or extreme diets, just clear guidance you can actually follow.

Step 3: Follow-Up Support with two Review Sessions (30 minutes each)
The first session will be dedicated to walking you through your roadmap and we will then begin to implement your tailored strategies. The second review session allows for ongoing accountability, implementation and troubleshooting. 

This package is an ideal entry-level option that offers you support and early progress without committing to a large financial or time commitment. 

After working together, you can expect to:

• Feel more in control of your eating and your body
• Understand what your body needs at this stage of life
• Have a clear, realistic plan moving forward
• Feel more confident making food choices without second-guessing
