October is World Menopause Awareness Month, and we are hosting a talk with expert Menopause Advisor Eileen Durward (A.Vogel). She will be talking about herbal tools you have to hand to help you through all stages of menopause, and in store we will be featuring our range of nutritional supplements which we have had great feedback from our perimenopausal, and post menopausal customers.
A particular highlight to look out for; we will talking about the importance of gut health during menopause. The drop in oestrogen is normal in menopause, however if there is gut dysbiosis (imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the gut) it may exacerbate the low oestrogen state and increase the risk of chronic diseases.    
October also brings us Mental Health Day, and as a key topic all year round in store, we are offering advice on how to support your mental health through diet and nutrition. Look out for our features in store and on our website throughout the month on the benefits of probiotic good bacteria for improvement of low mood, and the  fascinating studies which are now taking place of the improvement of the microbiome (gut health) in the area of mood.
