Nutritionist for Women 40+ | A Root-Cause Approach to Healthy Ageing

Nutritional therapy with Jacky Lampl

Most women who come to me aren’t just looking for a diet. They’re looking for a nutritionist who can help them understand what their body is trying to tell them — and how to change the things that no longer feel “normal.”

Some women want to lose belly fat; others wish to sleep better, have balanced hormones, or have stronger bones. Some want to stop feeling bloated before meals or exhausted by mid-afternoon.

But once we go through your complete health history, your digestive symptoms, stress patterns, lifestyle demands, and food preferences, a deeper story often emerges.

For example:

• A client may want fat loss, but the real issue is poor sleep and high cortisol.

• Another may struggle with cravings, driven by gut inflammation or irregular eating.

• Another may want more energy, but shallow breathing, stress, and fast eating are the true drivers.

Nutritional therapy doesn’t guess, it connects the dots so we can address root causes.

Personalised, Evidence-Based Tools That Match Your Biology

This is where nutritional therapy becomes powerful. Instead of generic advice, you receive targeted strategies that work with your body, not against it.

Nutritional protocols tailored to your goals

These aren’t restrictive diets — they are well-researched approaches suited to your physiology, lifestyle and preferences. Many of my clients want to reduce sugar cravings, improve digestion, balance hormones or manage weight sustainably. Your plan is designed for your body and your real life.

Nutrigenomic insights

Your DNA never changes, but how you express it does. Testing can highlight tendencies such as inflammation, detoxification challenges, clotting factors (e.g., Factor V) or how you metabolise specific nutrients. This allows us to personalise your nutrition even further, using science—not guesswork.

Functional testing when appropriate

Depending on your goals, we may use:

• Stool testing for inflammation, dysbiosis or poor digestion

• Cortisol testing for sleep disruption and stress load

• DEXA and REMS for bone density (often every 2 years)

• Glucose tracking for metabolic health

  
  

Testing isn’t mandatory, but it brings clarity and can accelerate progress.

Supporting Long-Term Bone Strength

Many women come to me worried about osteopenia or early signs of bone loss. Bone density doesn’t shift in 12 weeks — physiologically, it takes time.

But the internal environment that builds stronger bones can begin improving much sooner.

Nutritional therapy helps optimise the exact areas that support bone strength over the long term:

• protein intake

• calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K2

• Omega-3s and inflammation

• gut health for better mineral absorption

• stress and cortisol management

• strength-focused movement

Even if your next DEXA or REMS scan isn’t due for two years, your habits, strength and resilience can improve much sooner — and those changes are what help bones rebuild.

Supplements: Helpful, But Not First

Supplements can be incredibly effective — when used strategically. But more is not better. And “I heard this was good for women over 40” isn’t a strategy.

We use supplements only after improving diet and identifying what your body actually needs. This makes your programme effective, safe and truly personalised.

Mindset: Where Real Transformation Happens

Nutritional therapy is not a quick fix. It’s a mindset shift — understanding that healing, hormone balance, fat loss, and bone health all take time and consistency.

I guide you through the process. You bring the commitment. Together, we create change that lasts.

Because when you understand why you’re doing something, everything becomes easier.

How Yoga and Movement Support the Process

Yoga isn’t part of nutritional therapy itself. However, it can strongly support stress regulation, digestion and sleep, which is why many clients choose to join my East Sheen yoga classes (in person or online) alongside their nutrition work.

Movement (especially yoga) helps:

• regulate cortisol

• calm the nervous system

• improve digestion and bloating

• support better sleep

• help you reconnect with your body

It makes it easier to make nutritional changes because your system isn’t stuck in stress mode.

Your Body Whispers Before It Shouts

Symptoms are signals.

Sugar cravings, bloating, restless sleep, low energy, irritability — these are whispers. Weight gain, inflammation, insomnia and low mood are the symptoms.

Nutritional therapy teaches you to listen early so you can make changes that actually matter.

The Role of a Nutritionist in Long-Term Health

The role of a nutritionist is not to prescribe a perfect diet, but to help you understand your body and create sustainable change that supports your hormones, metabolism and bones long term.

I give you the tools, education and structure. You create the change.

And that change matters — because you have one body, one mind and one life.
