Ladies, are you feeling tired or frustrated with your body?
Perhaps you are experiencing unexplained weight-gain, irregular appetite, cravings or issues with your pelvic floor or hormones. You are in the right place.
We’re diving into the interconnected challenges of hormonal health and pelvic floor dysfunction—two areas that profoundly impact women’s lives yet are often overlooked.
Many women struggle with intense hunger, cravings, or emotional eating tied to hormonal shifts, while also facing pelvic health issues like leaks, pain, or discomfort that affect our confidence and daily routines. These experiences can feel isolating or dismissed, but you are not alone, and they’re not “just part of aging” or something you have to endure. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to navigate these challenges, reclaim control, and support your overall well-being. Let’s start a conversation that brings validation, solutions, and empowerment to these deeply personal issues.
Are you feeling like you have to deal with an internal struggle of mood changes, body image insecurities or feeling like you or your body are “broken” in some regard and no one is there to validate you and assist you? Hormone changes, emotional eating and dealing with self-worth issues are key parts of a woman’s healing journey that are often overlooked that will fuel:
◆ Persistent hunger and intense cravings despite normal eating habits.
◆ Fluctuating hunger hormones leading to emotional eating and loss of fullness cues.
◆ Frustration over weight gain, especially around the abdomen, and negative body image.
◆ Anxiety, depression, and unpredictable emotions fueling emotional eating.
◆ Chronic fatigue, bloating, and physical discomfort worsening eating habits.
◆ Lack of support or dismissal from healthcare providers causing isolation.
◆ Ineffectiveness of previously successful diets or health strategies, leaving women feeling defeated.
By addressing these challenges holistically, this workshop will provide practical solutions to help you feel empowered and supported in navigating hormonal and pelvic health changes.
Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, Amber Romaniuk, will explore:
Hormonal Fluctuations and Appetite Changes
Hormonal shifts can disrupt hunger cues and lead to increased cravings or emotional eating also fuelling weight-gain. Understanding these changes empowers you to regain control of your eating habits.
Mood Swings and Emotional Dysregulation
Perimenopause can cause unpredictable mood swings and emotional challenges, often leading to emotional eating. Identifying these patterns and addressing their root causes can help restore emotional balance.
Physical Symptoms Amplifying Emotional Eating
Symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and pain can drive emotional eating. We will explore how managing these physical challenges can improve your overall health and relationship with food.
Body Image Struggles & Low Self-Worth
Life transitions, unaddressed unworthiness and societal pressures often intensify stress and body image concerns, which can fuel emotional eating. Building supportive habits and reframing perspectives can create lasting resilience.
Challenges with Managing Symptoms
Conventional methods like restrictive diets may fail during perimenopause, causing frustration. Tailored approaches based on hormonal and lifestyle needs can provide effective solutions. We will dive into how to start approaching this shift in a new way.
Are You Silently Struggling with Pelvic Health Challenges?
You're not alone. Many women face deeply personal issues that often go unspoken—because they’ve been told it’s “just part of aging” or “normal after childbirth.” But these issues are not something you have to live with.
If any of these sound familiar, you might be experiencing pelvic health dysfunction:
-
Leaks during exercise, laughing, or sneezing.
-
Constantly mapping the nearest bathroom due to sudden urgency.
-
Discomfort or pain during sex that's affecting your confidence or relationships.
-
A heavy, dragging feeling—or even the fear that “something isn’t quite right” down there.
-
Struggling with constipation, tailbone pain, or unexplained pelvic discomfort.
-
Frustration after months of doing Kegels with little to no improvement.
-
Feeling dismissed, misdiagnosed, or like you’re the only one going through this.
These issues are real—and so are the emotional impacts: embarrassment, isolation, anxiety, and a growing disconnection from your body.
