I know this place. I lived here.
I went through perimenopause while my marriage was ending. I was alone in Hong Kong, in the middle of a pandemic.
I had a miscarriage at 40. My body had been changing its rules for years. I was still playing by the old ones.
I had spent years learning how to take care of it. I thought I understood it.
And it stopped responding.
I blamed everything else, the stress, the isolation, the grief, the relationship.
Only later did I understand what was happening.
Underneath it all, my physiology had shifted. And no one had explained how to adapt to it.
If this feels familiar, it’s not random.
What I found changed everything.
I stopped asking what was wrong with me and started looking at what had changed physiologically.
Estrogen affects far more than your cycle. It influences how your body uses fuel, responds to training, recovers, sleeps, and handles stress. When those signals shift, your body responds differently, even when your habits stay the same.
That is why what used to work often stops working.
So I went back and studied the physiology properly. I completed training in integrative and functional nutrition through IFNA, alongside further education in menopause physiology, movement, and metabolic health.
What I built from that work became the foundation of Blissfully Amy: supporting women through the intersection of metabolism, muscle, and nervous system regulation.
I’m Amy Elkhoury, a perimenopause metabolic health practitioner.
I work with women whose bodies have stopped responding, and who are not willing to accept that this is just aging.
My approach is grounded in current menopause physiology and sits at the intersection of three systems: metabolic function, muscle adaptation, and nervous system regulation.
We identify what is driving your symptoms, whether metabolic, muscular, or nervous system, and adjust the inputs so your body can respond again.
My background spans two decades in movement and nutrition, across multiple disciplines.
I completed whole food plant-based nutrition training through Cornell University and trained as a plant-based and raw chef before founding Nuteese in Hong Kong, a fermented cheese brand built on gut health science, featured in Tatler Asia and the South China Morning Post.
I built that work before I understood how central the estrobolome would become to everything I now teach.
What I bring to this work is two decades of lived experience, grounded in formal training across integrative nutrition, menopause physiology, movement, and metabolic health.

"Amy's international background truly makes a difference. She understands different cultures, lifestyles, and eating habits, which made everything feel genuinely tailored to my needs. I always felt understood and respected."
