Dr. Katharina Austermann offers 1:1 online nutrition therapy for women dealing with hormonal and metabolic health conditions including PCOS, menopause, perimenopause, insulin resistance, metabolic weight issues, fatigue, and cortisol dysregulation. All sessions take place via Zoom and are available to clients worldwide. Programs range from a 4-6 week Foundation Program (EUR 550) to a 12-week Comprehensive Program (EUR 1,500) and a 6-month Extended Support Program (EUR 3,200). Katharina holds a PhD in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Bonn (2023) and combines academic research expertise with E-RYT 500 yoga certification and a Diploma in Ayurveda.
I hold a PhD in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Bonn, where I worked on international intervention studies exploring the relationship between nutrition and health.
Over time, I became increasingly drawn to women’s hormonal and metabolic health, because I saw how many women feel disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, and unsupported in the complexity of what they are experiencing. I work most often with women dealing with PCOS, menopause, weight regulation difficulties, fatigue, and stress-related imbalances, as these issues are often deeply interconnected through metabolism, hormones, and the nervous system. What makes my work different from a standard nutrition approach is that I am not interested in quick fixes or rigid protocols, but in helping women understand their individual physiology and develop a way of eating and living that feels nourishing, sustainable, and supportive long-term.
Alongside evidence-based nutrition, I integrate perspectives from yoga and Ayurveda to support stress regulation, nervous system balance, and a more connected relationship with the body.
Every woman's hormonal and metabolic picture is unique.
These are the areas where I focus most of my work.
PCOS
Support for insulin resistance, androgen balance, and cycle regulation through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies tailored to the individual hormonal and metabolic patterns often associated with PCOS. The approach also integrates stress regulation and yoga-inspired practices, as chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can play an important role in hormonal balance and PCOS symptom severity.
Hormonal HealthMenopause and Perimenopause
Support for the metabolic and hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause, including weight changes, fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations, and changes in energy levels. The approach focuses on stabilizing blood sugar, supporting muscle and metabolic health, and reducing the impact of chronic stress on hormonal regulation and overall well-being.
Hormonal HealthInsulin Resistance and Metabolic Health
Work focused on the underlying metabolic patterns that can contribute to persistent weight gain, unstable energy, cravings, and difficulty feeling satisfied after meals. By addressing blood sugar regulation, appetite signaling, stress physiology, and daily rhythms, the goal is to support a more stable metabolism and create sustainable changes in energy, body composition, and long-term health.
Metabolic HealthFatigue and Cortisol Dysregulation
Support for women experiencing persistent fatigue, stress-related exhaustion, difficulty recovering, or feeling constantly wired but tired despite rest. The work focuses on understanding how chronic stress, irregular rhythms, blood sugar fluctuations, and nervous system overload affect energy, hormones, and recovery capacity. The goal is to restore a more stable sense of energy, resilience, and balance throughout the day.
Nervous SystemWeight Regulation
Sustainable weight management grounded in metabolic science rather than calorie restriction. Instead of focusing on willpower or strict dieting, the approach explores the underlying hormonal, metabolic, and stress-related patterns that can make weight regulation feel difficult or exhausting. The aim is to help women feel more balanced, nourished, and supported in their relationship with food and their body.
Metabolic HealthAn Individualized Approach
These conditions are often deeply interconnected through metabolism, hormones, and the nervous system. Rather than applying standardized protocols, every program is tailored to your individual physiology, history, and goals - combining evidence-based nutrition science with perspectives from yoga and Ayurveda to support sustainable, long-term change.
Book a ConsultationA gradual, individualized process — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Step One
Initial Consultation 60 min · via Zoom
We begin with an in-depth conversation covering your health history, current symptoms, dietary patterns, lifestyle, stress levels, and goals. The aim is to understand the broader metabolic and hormonal picture before making any recommendations - rather than applying a generic protocol.
Step Two
Assessment and Individualized Strategy Tailored to your physiology
Depending on your situation, this may include tools such as continuous glucose monitoring to better understand how food choices, stress, sleep, and physical activity affect your blood sugar and energy levels. Together, we use these insights to identify the underlying patterns influencing your metabolism, hormones, and overall well-being.
Step Three
Gradual Integration and Ongoing Support Sustainable change over time
Rather than introducing a standardized nutrition plan, we gradually implement nutritional, lifestyle, movement, and stress-regulation strategies in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. Regular follow-up sessions allow us to track progress, adapt the approach, and support long-term change rather than temporary fixes.
No rigid plans. No quick fixes. The pace and depth of each step depends entirely on your individual situation and goals. Some clients move through all three steps within the Foundation Program. Others prefer to take more time. The process is designed to be flexible, humane, and genuinely supportive - not a protocol you have to keep up with.

This program may be a good fit for you if:
This program is likely NOT the right fit if you are looking for a quick fix, a rigid meal plan or a one-size-fits-all approach. The work is individualized, evidence-based, and requires openness, consistency and active participation in the process.
Yes. All sessions are via Zoom. I work with clients across Europe, the UK, North America and Australia.
Yes, both.
At the moment, the programs are not covered by health insurance and are offered as private services. The work is highly individualized and combines evidence-based nutrition with integrative approaches such as stress regulation, yoga-based practices and lifestyle support, which are typically not included within standard insurance models.
My work goes beyond creating meal plans or focusing only on calories and weight loss. With a background in nutritional science and research, I look at the broader interaction between metabolism, hormones, stress physiology, sleep, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle patterns that can influence women’s health. Rather than applying standardized protocols, I use an individualized and gradual approach that combines evidence-based nutrition with practices inspired by yoga and Ayurveda to support long-term, sustainable change. The goal is not only to improve symptoms, but to help you better understand your body and build a healthier relationship with food, stress and overall well-being.
Yes. Anandam offers both Pillar A (Katharina’s metabolic and hormonal nutrition program) and Pillar B (Sandeep’s yoga therapy program) and the two can be combined for clients dealing with conditions where both nutrition and somatic yoga work are beneficial – such as burnout, chronic stress, or PCOS with an anxiety component.
