Helen Halliday is no stranger to health challenges. From stress induced by 15 years in the corporate Marketing world, to a complete burnout & being diagnosed with ME, to most recently contracting suspected Covid-19, Helen has been on quite a journey with her health.
This personal experience combined with her thirst for knowledge & a desire for a more healthy lifestyle lead her to qualify as a registered Nutritional Therapist 3 years ago. She also completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Nutrition & is currently halfway through completing a Masters in Personalised Nutrition.
This makes her the perfect guest on Root & Rise with Lucy as in this episode we dig into the juicy topics of Stress & the Menopause. What actually is Stress? And what can we do to manage our stress levels? What happens to the body in the Perimenopause & Menopause? And what can we do holistically to support ourselves through these transitions?
Helen communicates with such precision & makes these taboo subjects accessible & relatable. She currently runs a clinic in Ascot using the principles of Functional Medicine to offer a personalised approach to Nutritional Therapy & lifestyle management. Helen also works at The Optimum Health Clinic in London, an award winning integrated nutrition nutrition & psychology clinic team specialising in supporting people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME, & Fibromyalgia.
