Welcome – October/November 2023

As we approach the annual Menopause Awareness Month, this issue of Natural Lifestyle takes on more of a female focus. But it’s important that we consider female health as a whole, and through a range of life stages – addressing our health when we reach the menopause (and very often, when symptoms have already started) is a little like closing the stable door when the horse has bolted as it were.

Indeed, natural health experts will advocate for a healthy approach throughout life for both sexes, but this can be especially important for women when considering the need for hormone balance, which applies when supporting the menstrual cycle, to safeguarding fertility, during pregnancy, and through to the menopause. Away from these key life stages, women generally have certain nutrient needs that can sometimes be lacking.

And so, in this issue of Natural Lifestyle, we bring you a guide to women’s health, highlighting the issues to be aware of, the effect a poor diet and lifestyle can have on us, and how we can safeguard against deficiencies. You can read our expert guide on page 14, and you can also turn to page 18, where we highlight PMS, the key nutrients you need to support your health at this time of the month, as well as the advice you need for a healthy menopause.

Remaining on the menopause topic, we are delighted to bring you our special supplement, Inside Menopause, which comes with this issue of Natural Lifestyle. It is packed full of all kinds of important tips and advice to help you better understand the process, and to guide you through the transition. Ask your local health food store for a copy, or you can read online at www.mynaturalifestyle.co.uk – and do let me know if you found it useful or have any ideas for future issues by emailing rachel.symonds@targetpublishing.com
