Nutrition for good mental health
Providing education and guidance around nutrition to support the needs of your workplace


As a society we don’t talk about menopause enough. Especially not at work.
But things are changing… and at AV Wellbeing we believe this can’t come soon enough. Because, let’s face it, 50% of us will experience menopause at some point in our lives and, even if we’re not directly affected ourselves, our friends, family members and colleagues will be.
We offer a range of training and support, from a half-day comprehensive overview of all things menopause-related, to bitesize sessions on specific topics such as nutrition and health.
All of our courses are accredited by the Menopause Experts group and are perfect for those wanting to gain knowledge and skills to support themselves or others.
Corporate Drop In Sessions
Our gut is our second brain… there is an intricate relationship between our gut and our brain. Our gut microbiome can impact on our neurotransmitters, our behaviour and our workplace performance.
Our associate nutritionist, Krista offers corporate drop in sessions for your employees over the course of a half or full day.
The sessions include:

A completed health questionnaire before the consultation by the employees
30 minute consultation with our nutritional therapist
Employees would then receive dietary, lifestyle, blood test and supplement advice based on their symptoms and goals

The gut programme (1:1 support)
Following the consultations your employees may choose to hop over to our ongoing programmes to support them to boost their wellbeing.
We are offer a 6 month programme with Krista, our associate registered nutritionist to improve gut health and in turn enhance mental wellbeing.
The science behind the connection between our gut and brain is ever growing. The feedback loop between these two systems is primitive and our gut microbiome can impact significantly on our mood, stress levels and even our thinking patterns. In fact, our gut produces 95% of the serotonin in your body. Serotonin is one of ‘happy hormones’ and when it is diminished within our gut this can have a negative impact on our brain health.
Our physical and mental health can be viewed as separate entities, however, for optimum brain and physiological health we must support them simultaneously. Our programme aims to support optimal overall health.
A 6 month programme where focus will be on addressing the root cause of any issues, why you have your symptoms and how we can use nutrition, supplements and lifestyle to support your health.
The programme includes:
1 x initial consultation where we review your symptoms, goals and health timeline
9 follow up appointments
Supplement recommendations
10% off supplements
Regular check ins to keep you on track of achieving your goals
Access to practice better with a chat function and food journal so you can receive regular feedback on your dietary choices

Health and the Menopause
The chance to study the reproductive system, hormones and the impact they can have on everyday life.
The session focuses not just on oestrogen and progesterone but the other hormones that also play a crucial part at this time of life.
It will also focus on ways to alleviate symptoms, exploring the different types of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as well as natural alternatives, and the impact of looking after your health and wellbeing.
The sessions are designed to provide a safe space for open discussion, with a chance for people to share their own experiences if they feel comfortable.
You’ll leave armed with all the information you need to have open, productive conversations about the menopause, whether that’s with friends, family, colleagues or health professionals.

Food and the Menopause
An in-depth look at nutrition and the menopause.
The session explores how stress, hormones and the menopause are all impacted by the food we eat.
You’ll learn more about what good nutrition looks like and how to eat a ‘menopause friendly’ diet – with recipes provided.
There’ll be an introduction to phytoestrogens and the foods that contain them, as well as information on midlife weight gain and how to manage it.
The session also explores the different supplements that may help with menopausal symptoms, exploring the benefits and the risks, enabling you to make informed decisions.

Psychology and the Menopause
The menopause can have a huge impact not just on physical health but also on your emotional health.
This session will focus on the psychological impact of hormones, exploring the chemical changes that are happening in the brain.
From anxiety and depression to sleep deprivation and loss of self-confidence, participants will begin to understand why they feel the way they do and be able to share their experiences with others.
You’ll learn how to menopause-proof relationships and explore self-help methods like mindfulness and thought-balancing. There’ll also be information on who to reach out to for further professional help if needed and how to broach these conversations.
