Morkare Natural Clinic Brisbane
Morkare 5-Step Perimenopause Program Brisbane
Structured Midlife Support for Hormonal Changes, Sleep, Energy, Mood and Wellbeing
Developed by Dr Shenaz Morkas and the Morkare team, drawing on more than 20 years of experience supporting women through hormonal transitions.
The Morkare 5-Step Perimenopause Program provides a structured pathway for women experiencing hormonal changes during midlife. Using naturopathy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine and homeopathy, our team helps women better understand their changing health needs and create a personalised wellbeing plan.
Many women notice changes in sleep, energy, mood, periods, body composition, resilience and overall wellbeing during this transition. You do not have to navigate these changes alone.
What Is The Morkare 5-Step Perimenopause Program?
The Morkare 5-Step Perimenopause Program is a structured framework designed to support women through the years leading up to menopause.
Rather than focusing on a single symptom, the program considers nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, gut health, stress resilience, hormonal wellbeing and healthy ageing.
This page explains the program itself. If you are looking for detailed information about symptoms, stages, hormone changes, anxiety, weight gain, irregular periods, hot flushes or sleep disruption, visit our Perimenopause Naturopath Brisbane page.
The program also forms part of our broader Women’s Health Naturopath Brisbane services.

- Women experiencing hormonal changes during perimenopause
- Women experiencing changes in sleep, mood or energy
- Women noticing changes in their menstrual cycle
- Women wanting a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan

The Morkare 5-Step Perimenopause Program
Our structured approach provides a clear pathway while allowing each plan to remain personalised.
Step 1 – Hormones, Sleep and Energy
The first stage focuses on understanding your health history, symptoms, sleep quality, energy levels, stress load and lifestyle factors. This creates the foundation for the rest of the program.
Step 2 – Nutrition, Gut and Liver Support
This stage focuses on dietary patterns, protein intake, fibre, digestion, gut health and nutritional foundations. Women seeking deeper nutritional guidance may also benefit from working with our Clinical Nutritionist Brisbane team.
Step 3 – Hormonal Wellbeing Support
Once foundational areas are addressed, we focus on personalised strategies that support hormone wellbeing and help women navigate changing life stages.
Step 4 – Nervous System, Metabolism and Resilience
This stage focuses on stress resilience, movement, strength, metabolism, sleep quality and maintaining healthy routines that support long-term wellbeing.
Step 5 – Maintenance and Healthy Ageing
The final stage focuses on maintaining progress, supporting healthy ageing and helping women continue feeling confident and supported throughout their transition.
