Women’s Health Nutrition for PCOS, Menopause & Pre/Post-Natal Care

At Shift Nutrition, Lily Barrett, Registered Dietitian in Vancouver, BC, offers specialized nutrition counseling for women’s health concerns, including PCOS, menopause, and pre- and post-natal nutrition. We understand that every woman’s body and experience are unique—and we’re here to help you feel empowered and supported at every stage.

Our Approach: Intuitive Eating & Gentle Nutrition for Women

Our work is grounded in intuitive eating principles and gentle nutrition, helping you build a positive relationship with food while honoring your body’s needs. We stay up to date with the latest research on women’s health so we can translate complex science into practical, personalized guidance.

We believe:

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—your lived experience matters.

  • Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean restriction or perfection.

  • Gradual, sustainable changes are more effective (and more compassionate) than rigid diets.

  • Your relationship with food is just as important as the nutrients you eat.

Support for PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. We can help you:

  • Manage insulin resistance with flexible, balanced eating strategies

  • Reduce symptoms like cravings or irregular cycles without deprivation

  • Support fertility and hormonal balance with nutrition that works for you

Nutrition for Menopause

Menopause brings unique nutritional needs and body changes. We’ll help you:

  • Protect bone and heart health with realistic, enjoyable food choices

  • Navigate shifting hunger and fullness cues

  • Address changes in weight, sleep, or digestion with gentle, sustainable strategies

Pre- and Post-Natal Nutrition

Whether you’re planning to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum, we’ll support you in:

  • Meeting changing nutrient needs through flexible, satisfying meals

  • Managing nausea, food aversions, or appetite changes

  • Rebuilding strength and energy after birth

  • Creating positive feeding environments if you choose to breastfeed

Evidence-Based, Compassionate Care

We stay current with the evolving science of women’s health so you get accurate, up-to-date guidance. At the same time, we never lose sight of what matters most: supporting you as a whole person in a safe, non-judgmental space.
