When Life Felt Out of Control
Anita Orlowska from London remembers exactly how it felt when everything seemed to be falling apart. "That was so serious," she recalls, her voice heavy with the memory. "There were a lot of problems. I couldn't sleep. I had a problem with what I eat and how I diges itt. I was constantly bloated. That was really uncomfortable." September 2022. That's when Anita decided she couldn't continue like this anymore. She wasn't just dealing with one or two symptoms—she was drowning in them.
The menopause and hormonal imbalance had unleashed what she describes as "the full spectrum of problems.” Hot flashes strike without warning. Sleepless nights that left her exhausted. The relentless bloating made her uncomfortable in her own body. And perhaps most frightening of all—the brain fog that made her feel like she was losing herself. "I had brain fog, lots of anxieties," Anita shares. The woman who had once been sharp and capable was struggling to concentrate, struggling to feel like herself. Her body had become unpredictable in other ways, too. Urinary incontinence had her rushing to the bathroom up to 15 times a day. Her knees ached. Nothing felt right anymore. That's when she found Nirva Health.
The Journey Begins: Finding Hope
"I joined them like few months ago," Anita explains, "with a lot of problems around my menopause symptoms and hormonal imbalance." What she found at Nirva Health surprised her. It wasn't just a programme—it was a group of people who actually understood what she was going through.
"There was a group of people who work with me," she says warmly. "They were able to give me great tips about my diet—what to remove, what to add." But it wasn't just about food. Anita discovered the daily yoga sessions on the app, and something inside her shifted. For the first time in months, she had tools that actually worked.
"By for me six months, I feel so much better. I feel in charge again of my life. I can concentrate. I sleep better. I feel better. I'm more happy, more energised."

"If you stick to all the tips they give you, you just really feel different."
