Perimenopause at work: How to support yourself
More women are talking to their managers, more companies are putting policies in place, and the stigma is slowly ...
Elizabeth Sergeant
Nutritionist trained in functional medicine
Liz is a nutritionist trained in functional medicine and the founder of Well Nourished Club, a virtual women’s health clinic. She spent time in corporate pharma before training in nutrition and functional medicine, and that combination of clinical science and real-world understanding shapes everything she does. After her own experience of burnout, losing her cycle and struggling with infertility in her 30s, Liz completely changed direction and built a clinic around the thing she wished she’d had - someone who actually listens, connects the dots and helps women understand what’s really going on. Today, Liz and her team support women from their cycling years through perimenopause and beyond, and she’s also co-founder of FLAIR, working with organisations to support female leaders at every life stage.

Tell us about your experience in women's health
I’m a nutritionist trained in functional medicine, and I also have a background in corporate pharma. That combination really shapes how I work. I love the clinical detail but I also understand the pressures women are actually navigating day to day. For over 15 years I’ve been working with women on hormonal health, gut issues, energy and burnout, and what lights me up is the detective work - really getting into someone’s full story to understand what’s driving their symptoms, not just managing what’s on the surface.
What one piece of advice would you give to our audience?
Stop minimising what you’re experiencing. Your body is talking to you every single day and she’s really worth listening to. Start paying attention to your energy, mood, sleep and digestion, and watch as "random symptoms" start to become patterns. That shift from overwhelmed to understanding changes everything, and it costs nothing to begin.
What's missing from the current conversation around women's health?
The bridge between awareness and action. There’s SO much more conversation around women’s health now, which is brilliant, but a lot of it stays surface level. Women are told to "balance their hormones" without anyone helping them understand what that actually means for their body. And we’re still treating really common symptoms like PMS, brain fog and painful periods as normal when they’re actually signals that something is out of balance. Women don’t just need more information, they need someone to help them translate what their body is telling them into a clear path forward.
