Your thoughts are not harmless.
They shape your body.

Especially in midlife.

When you’re in menopause and constantly thinking:

“Why am I putting on all this weight?”
“Nothing is working anymore!”

Your nervous system hears stress.

Stress hormones rise.
Cortisol stays high.
Fat storage increases, especially around the middle.
Cravings get louder.
Energy drops.

Not because you’re doing anything wrong,
but because your body is responding exactly as it’s designed to.

When we push, override, or ignore the body,
it responds with protection.

Weight loss in menopause isn’t about forcing more control.

It’s about changing the conversation you’re having with yourself.

When thoughts shift from:
➡️ “I don’t like anything about this body”
to
➡️ “My body is asking for support”

The physiology changes to…

Calmer nervous system.
Clearer hormone signalling.
Less emotional eating.
More sustainable fat loss.

This is the mind-body reset many women were never taught.

If you’re ready to stop pushing your body and start working with it, I’d love you to book in for a FREE 30min chat & we can uncover the biggest blocker to your WeightLoss challenge with a take home strategy to beat the belly fat.

You don’t need more willpower.
You need a different approach.

21/01/2026

For so many years, health for me was about...
Control
Discipline.
Pushing through.
Trying harder.

And then midlife arrived
and suddenly those old rules stopped working.

And if your nodding your head, please know that this is not because your body has failed you...
it’s now asking for a different kind of support.

Health in this age & stage of life isn’t about doing more or trying harder...

It’s about;
Energy.
Sleep.
Mood.
Feeling balanced

When you stop fighting and start listening, your body responds differently.

Cravings soften.
Stress eases.
And change feels more natural.

If you’re ready to redefine what health looks like now I’d love to support you.

4 Things You Didn’t Know About Protein & Poor Sleep (Especially in Midlife)

1️⃣ More protein isn’t always better
Very high protein intakes (over ~1.6 g/kg/day) are often promoted in menopause - but they don’t suit every woman. For many, they can increase stress on the body rather than support it, especially as we age.

2️⃣ Animal protein can make you feel hotter at night
Animal protein is thermogenic (heat-producing). For women already dealing with hot flushes, a heavy meat-based dinner can raise body temperature overnight and disrupt sleep.

3️⃣ Your gut changes in menopause
As gut health shifts with age, digesting large amounts of protein - especially animal protein and protein powders - can contribute to bloating, constipation, discomfort… and broken sleep.

4️⃣ Poor sleep may be a protein timing issue
Reducing animal protein at dinner and choosing lighter or plant-based options can improve sleep quality for some women. Sleep often improves before weight loss ever does - and that’s a good sign the body is responding.

✨ Protein matters - but how much, what type, and when you eat it matters just as much.

If sleep is off, it’s worth looking at protein before assuming it’s “just menopause.”

13/01/2026

I want to say this clearly because it matters...

If your menopause symptoms feel worse when life feels full… busy… relentless…
you’re not imagining it.

Midlife isn’t just about hormones changing - we also need to take into account our stress load - both external stress and internal stress.

Many women are carrying:
• Work pressure
• Family demands
• Emotional responsibility
• Poor sleep
• Years of “just pushing through”

And the body keeps score.

When stress is constant, cortisol stays elevated.
And that directly impacts:
• Estrogen balance
• Blood sugar regulation
• Sleep quality
• Fat storage (especially around the middle)
• Mood, energy, and brain fog

This is why doing more - more exercise, more restriction & dieting, more discipline will often backfire in menopause.

The nervous system needs support before the hormones can stabilise.

This is what I teach - there are many pieces to this puzzle and its not always just one big stressor - it’s the stacking of stressors over time that disrupts hormone health.

The shift comes when women stop asking
“What diet should I follow?”
and start asking
“What does my body really need right now?”

Because when stress lowers:
• Hormones respond
• Sleep improves
• Cravings settle
• Weight becomes easier to shift
• And the body starts working with you again

Menopause isn’t about your body letting you down...
It’s a new age and stage of life that needs a different approach.

I’ve just created something I really wanted to share!

Menopause can feel confusing - especially when weight, sleep, energy, or cravings start changing and what used to work simply doesn't anymore

I’ve created a free Menopause MindBody Reset Foundation Guide specifically for women in midlife. I've been reading a few posts from women struggling with symptoms that could easily be prevented and definately supported in a way that is natural, science backed and takes a lifestyle medicine approach.

If you’d like a copy, simply pop in "Guide" or send me a message and I’ll email it to you personally.

Once you receive the guide, you'll also get my weekly tips, strategies and down to earth explanation about how to support your mind and body during this new age and stage of life.

I'm on a mission to share more information about a topic that is very misunderstood and misinformed.

Hope to hear from you soon!

My Top 5 Weight Loss Tips in 2026 for Women in Midlife

If you’re in perimenopause or postmenopause and feeling frustrated with your body, this is your reminder that you are not the problem.

Your body is in a new hormonal environment - and it needs a new approach.

Here are my top 5 foundations for sustainable weight loss in midlife:

1️⃣ Let go of old beliefs
What worked before may not work now. Behaviour change starts with belief change.

2️⃣ Simple food works best
Fresh, whole, minimally processed food supports your metabolism far better than packets and “diet” products.

3️⃣ You don’t need more food - just the right food
High-water vegetables, lighter meals at night, and enough nourishment during the day

4️⃣ Balance blood sugar
Constant insulin spikes keep the body in fat-storage mode. Reducing sugar and processed foods creates metabolic calm.

5️⃣ Rate your plate & eat earlier
Half vegetables, quarter protein, quarter smart carbs. Eat more earlier in the day and let digestion rest at night.

Midlife weight loss isn’t about discipline or deprivation.
It’s about working with your hormones, not against them.

Save this. Share it.
And start with just one tip.

Do you have a NY intention to lose weight? And you’re frustrated because nothing is shifting even though you’re “doing all the right things”?
Your sleep might be the missing piece.

Broken or poor-quality sleep doesn’t just make you tired. It directly works against fat loss.

When sleep is disrupted:
💠 Cortisol stays elevated → your body holds onto fat (especially around the belly)
💠 Insulin sensitivity drops → blood sugar rises more easily
💠 Hunger hormones shift → cravings increase, fullness signals weaken
💠 Motivation and emotional regulation dip → harder to make supportive choices

In midlife, this impact is amplified. Your body becomes far less forgiving of late nights, screen time, and stress carried into bed.

The good news?
Improving sleep doesn’t require perfection - it just takes consistency & a bit of retraining your body & mind.

Simple bedtime routine resets that actually help:
➡️ Aim for a consistent wind-down time (even on weekends)
➡️ Reduce screens at least 60 minutes before bed
➡️ Dim lights in the evening to cue melatonin
➡️ Keep bedtime calm with gentle stretching, breathwork, reading
➡️ Avoid late caffeine and heavy evening meals
➡️ If your mind races, write it down and don’t carry it to bed

Sleep is not passive.
It’s one of the most powerful metabolic tools you have.

If weight loss feels harder than it used to, start by asking:
👉 How supported is my nervous system at night?

Small changes here often unlock progress everywhere else.

I’d love to know what’s the hardest part of sleep for you right now? 🤔

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I wrap up the year, I’m so grateful to be ending it with 60 incredible 5-star Google reviews!

Thank you to every woman who trusted me with her journey. That trust means more to me than any metric.

Those reviews don’t just make me proud, they also show that I’m well above average compared with most small businesses. More importantly, they reflect something deeper: real outcomes, real change, and real trust within my community of women.

Women don’t come to me for quick fixes or another diet.

They come because they’ve tried everything, and they have an idea that there is more to weight loss than eating less and moving more.

My work sits at the intersection of evidence-based lifestyle medicine, neuroscience, and clinical hypnosis which means I work with women to help reset their mind AND body.

This is what to expect when you do any online or private coaching with me;

🌸 Understanding hormones, stress, sleep, metabolism, and nervous system load
🌸 Rewiring the subconscious patterns driving emotional eating and self-sabotage
🌸 Supporting sustainable habits that actually fit real life
🌸 Using hypnosis to create calm, safety, and long-term change and
not control

These reviews tell me that women feel seen, supported, and safe in this work.

They also tell me that this approach works because it respects how the female body and brain actually function in midlife.

I’m deeply grateful to every woman who has walked this path with me, and to those who’ve trusted me enough to refer their sisters, friends, and colleagues.

Here’s to helping more women release the weight both
physically, emotionally, and mentally,
and step into the next year feeling lighter, clearer, and more at home in their bodies 💕

Getting back into exercise after Christmas can feel hard at times.

Routines are off, motivation dips, there’s still plenty of temptation around… and part of us just wants to push harder to “make up for it.”

But here’s what I want you to know if your in a midlife body 👇

Working faster and harder isn’t always smarter.

Especially when stress levels are already high - at any time of year.

Your heart rate matters more than you think.

Training too hard can tip your nervous system into a stress response, and that works against fat loss, hormones, and energy.

For many women in midlife, the sweet spot is staying in a moderate heart-rate zone where:

• breathing feels steady
• you can still talk
• you finish feeling energised, not smashed!

Most gym machines show heart rate now and it’s easy to find out what your BPM is.

When you work at the correct heart rate for your age & stage of life, you’re supporting your heart, your metabolism and your nervous system to support weight loss.

P.S. How do you work out your BPM (heart rate)?

If in doubt always check with your GP or your PT.

👉 Moderate / supportive zone:
Around 50–65% of your max heart rate

To estimate your max heart rate;
220 – your age

Example:
If you’re 63 → 220 – 63 = 157 max
50–65% = around 80–100 BPM

(Some women feel okay a little higher - what matters most is how your body responds.)

Signs you’re in the right zone:
✔️ You can still talk
✔️ Breathing feels steady
✔️ You finish feeling energised, not smashed.

Midlife training isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about supporting your heart, hormones, and nervous system

Midlife fitness is about balance, not punishment.

If this resonates, take it as permission to slow down and train smarter.

Always check with your GP or your PT on the YOUR optimum BPM💛

“I’m doing all the right things… so why isn’t the weight shifting?”

I hear this from midlife women all the time.

You’re eating well.
You’re moving your body.
You’re trying to be consistent.

And yet… nothing changes. Or the weight feels stuck around your middle..

Going through menopause, I realised that I needed to understand my body and not fight it..

This is what I tell my clients 👇

When in comes to the time when your body begins to move into and through menopause, weight loss is not just about food and exercise.

Your body is being influenced by:
• stress hormones
• sleep disruption
• blood sugar swings
• thyroid function
• years of accumulated pressure on the nervous system

When stress hormones stay high, the body chooses protection over fat loss, even when you’re “doing everything right”.

That’s not you being a failure.
That’s biology.

Before the body will let go of weight, it needs to feel safe.

That means:
• calming the nervous system
• eating regularly (not skipping or restricting)
• prioritising sleep
• reducing inflammation
• moving in ways that support energy - not drain it

This is why dieting and exercising harder often backfires in midlife.

Fat loss doesn’t come from pushing more.
It comes from restoring balance first.

If this resonates, know that you’re not lacking in willpower or motivation. Your body is adjusting to a new age and stage of life, and when we listen differently we can support our mind and body in a way that allows the release of excess weight.

(And yes… there is a way forward that doesn’t involve more restriction.)

29/12/2025

Something that comes up a lot this time of year is people talking about this diet or that diet- and the Shake Diet came up in my group this week.

I thought I’d share my thoughts on this and I’d love to hear yours!

“ …Curiosity is a wonderful teacher and asking the following questions can sometimes “shake up” one’s perspective.

What will I do when the shake diet ends?

What has happened every other time I’ve done something similar?

Did it work long term - or just temporarily?

Has it taught me anything about how to eat in a sustainable, balanced way?

Is this how the human body is designed to eat?

Will this help me understand my body, hormones, and needs - or bypass them?

Those questions alone usually bring a lot of clarity.

As you know, I like you to know the WHY… and why education matters (especially for women)

Many women turn to diets as a way to get a quick fix, and then feel discouraged about their results and their body when they don’t work - it’s not that women are failing to get the longer term diet results - it’s diets are failing women.

When food is reduced to shakes the body often reads this as restriction - which is not about eating less or feeling full.

When the body feels like it’s not getting what it needs (aka restriction), Hormones respond defensively and the nervous system moves into protection / survival mode

What the research consistently shows is that across decades of weight loss research….

- 80–95% of people regain the weight lost on restrictive diets

- A large percentage regain more than they lost

- The body tends to return to its set point - or raise it - after restriction

Why?
Because the body is intelligent. When it senses:
• Low energy intake
• Reduced chewing and digestion
• Rapid weight loss

…it adapts by:
• Lowering metabolic rate
• Increasing hunger hormones
• Becoming more efficient at storing fat

Essentially preparing for the next “famine”.

Shakes + insulin resistance - some interesting insights….

For insulin-resistant women (which is very common in midlife):
Liquid calories are absorbed faster and
Blood sugar rises more quickly.
Insulin demand also increases and
Fat storage is reinforced, not reduced.

Even “healthy” shakes can create:
• Blood sugar swings
• Increased cravings
• Hunger returning quickly

“But what about the protein…”

This depends entirely on what kind of shake it is.

Many shake diets:
• Are highly processed
• Contain isolated proteins
• Lack fibre, enzymes, and food structure

Excessive reliance on protein powders, especially without whole food, can:
• Increase liver workload
• Bypass normal digestive signalling
• Disrupt satiety cues

Protein of course is essential - but it’s the whole foods and real food protein that makes the difference- especially when eaten and chewed slowly, which is very different to powdered/ liquid calories.

And here is the bigger issue for me as a Health & Menopause Weight Loss Coach…

Shake diets don’t teach people;
• How to eat
• How to regulate appetite
• How to work with hormones
• How to stabilise blood sugar
• How to live normally around food

And if it doesn’t teach those things, the weight almost always comes back.

Sustainable change can only comes from:
• Education
• Understanding physiology
• Supporting hormones
• Eating in a way the body recognises as safe

Quick fixes may feel hopeful, but the body always keeps the score.

I’d love to know your thoughts on this very complex subject 💕

All about me :)

Welcome!

My name’s Suzanne and I’m a Mind-Body Eating Coach (in training), Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner & Reiki Master.

I specialise in helping people to transform their relationship with food to address their weight or body challenges and let go of their old negative and limiting emotions and create a positive mindset towards food, and life. No diets, pills, shakes, potions or calorie counting involved!

Can you imagine moving through your day never even thinking about what to eat, when to eat or how much to eat? Wouldn’t it be nice to eat for the simple enjoyment of it and to be able to just choose something without getting caught up in your mental mind-battles?
