  • Home | The Menopause Larder| Food and nutrition advice by an accredited registered nutritionist to help with perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause health and wellbeing

    Welcome to The Menopause Larder, founded and run by accredited registered nutritionist Dr Tanja Harrison PhD. This website provides updated and evidence-based information on how foods and nutrition affect women during the menopause transition, i.e. in perimenopause and postmenopause. Here you will find guidance on foods, macronutrients and micronutrients, and dietary patterns and how these affect women's health and wellbeing with all things menopause, including menopause symptoms. Rise ! Renew ! Embrace ! Inspire ! The Menopause Larder® Welcome to The Menopause Larder ! The menopausal transition (including peri- and postmenopause) can be a very challenging time for women, both physically, cognitively and emotionally. In fact, the majority of women will experience at least one of the many symptoms of this transition. Whilst our understanding and awareness of menopause is changing and there are increasing conversations and debates on this topic happening, we still tend to look at these changes through a negative lens. Menopause is often still linked to ageing within a context of losing our youth and grieving that change, rather than empowerment. However, in non-Western societies getting older is traditionally viewed as a time of new beginnings and greater wisdom. Menopause is classed as a 'second spring' or season of renewal, as a time of empowerment and liberation. To say it with Nina Simone - "It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life for me". Food is an important expression of culture and of joy. It is also a great tool to help us with the transition through this new stage in our lives and to maintain good health. We still have a lot to learn about the links between food and menopause. The Menopause Larder is about exploring those links and making sure that the food that you eat moving forward will not only be delicious, but also empower you to become your best kick-arse self!

  • About | TheMenopauseLarder

    About Dr Tanja Harrison PhD RNutr WELCOME TO THE MENOPAUSE LARDER! - Thanks for popping in! I am a registered nutritionist, guest lecturer and founder and Director of The Menopause Larder. I am registered with the Association for Nutrition's UK Voluntary Register for Nutritionists (UKVRN, registration number 8207). I am also a member of SENSE (Self Employed Nutritionists’ Support and Enlightenment), the original network of professional nutrition consultants who work on a self employed basis, and the British Menopause Society. I hold a PhD in nutrition and was working as a university lecturer and researcher before embarking on the most exciting professional venture of my life (yet!) - The Menopause Larder. During this time, I researched topics such as cardiometabolic risk, the evaluation of weight management programmes, and the impact of food and diets on menopause symptoms and on blood lipids and blood sugar levels. These were exciting and sometimes daunting experiences. Maybe most importantly for you, I am also a busy woman on the journey through the menopause transition myself. In addition to knowing how to understand, assess, apply and translate the science related to menopause, food and nutrition, I also happen to be right in the middle of it. All the high's and low's of this rollercoaster ride! Like you, I am still learning about myself and about the way food affects me has been changing in recent years, and some of it can come as an unpleasant surprise! However, I do know about the positive impact that food can have in all its deliciousness, but it is important to separate good scientific evidence from nutriboll#cks. As a registered nutritionist I know how. Welcome to The Menopause Larder! What The Menopause Larder can do for you You might have noticed more or less recently that the impact that food has on you is changing. As if symptoms of going through the menopause aren't enough (Hello hot flushes, night sweats, joint pains, anxiety in supermarkets and feeling like you are about to lose your sh*t (again!)), you now need to also put up with the fact that you are putting on more and more weight. What has been working for you in the past, suddenly is not! The muffin top that might not have existed in your younger years has made an appearance, and even if you happened to always have a fuller figure, all over sudden you seem to be really piling on the weight. You are busy and have lots on your plate (Excuse the pun!) with seemingly constant demands from work and family, and things just seem to be getting harder. You think that this is really not a good time to have to re-evaluate what you can and can't eat. There simply aren't enough hours in the day, plus it is harder to concentrate, not to mention the constant fatigue. This is where The Menopause Larder can help! I look at the evolving science of nutrition during the perimenopause and postmenopause. And I show you what you need to focus on and how you can do this! Food can be both a source of joy and of the right nourishment once again. After having spent years of making sure everyone else is okay, use this opportunity to focus on your own quality of life again. What you eat can be an important starting point! You do not have to do this on your own! Subscribe to my updates , take a look around my website and come on this journey with me! Mission & Vision My mission is to help women in the perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause to understand which nutrients and foods will ease their journey through the transition. My goal for women is to maintain lifelong health with emphasis on solutions that are good for the planet, too. My vision is to use food as a link between women's and planetary health, both at home and globally. With the right food and nutrition we can all rise, renew, embrace and inspire. The journey has many challenges, but we will come out stronger, more resilient and with a zest for life!
