      <image:caption>Increased iron loss through sweat and gastrointestinal bleeding Higher red blood cell turnover Potentially lower dietary iron intake or absorption Even mild deficiency can reduce endurance, strength, and concentration, so early detection is key to maintaining performance and well-being.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Dietitian-Approved Tips to Beat Bloating Naturally</image:title>
      <image:caption>This deep breathing technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the “rest and digest” state—redirecting blood flow to the gut, brain, and reproductive organs. How to do it: Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, letting your belly rise. Breathe out slowly for 4 seconds, letting it fall. Try focusing your attention on each breath to calm the mind and support digestion. It might feel awkward at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Dietitian-Approved Tips to Beat Bloating Naturally - 3. Sip on Peppermint Tea.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Peppermint has a natural muscle-relaxing effect on the digestive tract. Peppermint tea is a gentle way to support digestion—plus, taking a moment to sit quietly and enjoy a warm cuppa can also help soothe stress (another bloating trigger). Not a fan of tea? Peppermint oil capsules are another effective option, especially for people with IBS.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Nutrition Can Help with PMOS: What Actually Works for Symptoms and Long-term Health - 1. Fibre</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fibre is the part of plant foods that isn’t fully digested by the body. It supports healthy digestion and provides fuel for beneficial gut bacteria, making it an important part of a balanced diet when managing PMOS. Including fibre-rich foods alongside carbohydrate-containing meals can slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream, supporting steadier blood glucose levels and helping you feel fuller for longer. High-fibre foods include: fruit, vegetables, whole grains, oats, beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts and seeds. Where practical, choose whole or minimally processed options, such as whole fruit rather than juice and wholegrain varieties of breads and cereals. Food safety tip: Wash fresh fruit and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating or preparing them. Remove any damaged or bruised areas, and wash your hands before handling produce.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Nutrition Can Help with PMOS: What Actually Works for Symptoms and Long-term Health - 3. Antioxidants</image:title>
      <image:caption>A colourful, varied diet provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants to support overall health. Antioxidants help protect our cells from oxidative stress, making a variety of plant foods an important part of a balanced diet when managing PMOS. Aim for a rainbow of plant-based foods to gain the benefit of all the different nutrients. The most vibrantly coloured fruits and vegetables usually are the richest in vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants for good health. Red and orange vegetables are loaded with Vitamin C for wound healing and immune function. Dark green leafy vegetables tend to be higher in iron and antioxidants to reduce inflammation. Blue and purple plant foods contain rich sources of anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that support anti-inflammation and blood pressure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Nutrition Can Help with PMOS: What Actually Works for Symptoms and Long-term Health - 4. Healthy Fats</image:title>
      <image:caption>Healthy fats are an important part of a balanced diet when navigating PMOS. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods such as oily fish, nuts and seeds, have anti-inflammatory properties and may support overall metabolic and reproductive health. Aim to regularly include sources of healthy fats such as extra-virgin olive oil, avocado, unsalted nuts and seeds, and oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel. Not into fish? You can still get healthy fats from plant-based sources such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil. If you’re considering an omega-3 supplement, speak with your Dietitian about whether this is appropriate for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Nutrition Can Help with PMOS: What Actually Works for Symptoms and Long-term Health - Remember: it’s the overall pattern of your diet, rather than any single food or nutrient, that matters most. There is no need for unnecessary restriction — the goal is to find an approach that is nourishing, enjoyable and sustainable for you. Need more individualised help to manage your diet?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Get in touch with Kerri to create a personalised diet and lifestyle plan that aligns with your lifestyle and goals while managing PMOS. Further reading: PMOS has many clinical similarities to Endometriosis and is also different in many ways.
