Embracing Change: Using Herbs & Nutrition in Menopause w. Nicola Swanson
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Nicola Swanson, a Medical Herbalist and Naturopath based in Taranaki.
During our conversation, we delved into various topics such as food, supplements, and herbs that can help ease the perimenopause journey. We also discussed how to identify if the symptoms you're experiencing are actually perimenopause, and what to do if your at-home interventions aren't enough.
Nicola shared a wealth of tips and tools to alleviate menopausal symptoms and maintain our health in post-menopause. Her insights were inspiring and made me realize the somewhat negative effect coffee was having on my body, which I had been conveniently ignoring. Thankfully, Nicola came to the rescue with some great replacements I can use during my coffee “pause”.
Nicola is a strong advocate for women to be the best, most empowered versions of themselves, in body, mind, and spirit. Her enthusiasm for our potential wellbeing during this time of life is infectious.
So tune in to our conversation as we cover a wide range of topics related to perimenopause; from sex and urogenital issues, to the role of easily accessible food and herbs in nourishing our changing body.

About Nicola Swanson
"I have been a practicing Naturopath and Medical Herbalist since 2006.
I run a clinic called Earth Sourced, but I also work with clients around the world through Skype consultations. It is a real joy for me to be able to work with my clients and be a part of their growth and development. Seeing people resolving their health complaints, feeling joyous and proud of their self-development is a magical experience I never tire of.
For 10 years I also worked part time for a naturopathic college. I became a Programme Leader and Senior Tutor and my working day involved teaching, as well as writing, developing and leading new diploma qualifications. It was a privilege to be a part of developing the talents, empathy and knowledge of the coming generations of naturopaths and nutritionists.
Now I am focused on further developing my Earth Sourced clinic and local and online courses, as well as speaking at expos and for different community groups."
