Feeling drained while running? You’re not alone… 🏃‍♀️

Let’s talk about how menopause impacts energy levels and performance.

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, the hormonalshifts can make a big diﬀerence in how we feel during our runs.

You might notice:

💫Changes in energy levels, making those morning runs feel tougher.

💫A need for more recovery time as fatigue sets in.

💫Adjustments in nutrition- what worked before may not work now.

But don’t let this discourage you… Even slow running can be beneficial, and it’s crucial to listen to your body.

✅ You can keep moving and adapt your routine to fit your new needs.

Remember, staying active is key to maintaining both physical and mental well-being.

Midlife isn’t the time to eat less… it’s the time to eat smarter 💫

Your body is changing and it needs:

✨ More protein for muscle support
✨ Balanced blood sugar
✨ Nutrient-dense meals
✨ Consistency over restriction

This isn’t about dieting, it’s about supporting your body so you can feel strong, energised and vibrant.

🍓 Give this chia pudding a try for a healthy and delicious protein and fibre forward meal.

Ingredients-

✨4 Tbsp of white Chia seeds
✨1 400g can of Coconut milk
✨2 tsp of honey or sweetener to taste
✨Dash of vanilla

Method-

Place the Chia seeds, coconut milk, honey and vanilla together in a bowl and mix.

Cover and place in the fridge for 4 hrs or overnight.
To serve, remove from the fridge and top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of muesli. 😊

Don’t underestimate these 4 stretches 🫶🏻

We often think a few simple stretches won’t make a difference… but they absolutely can.

Just a few minutes a day can help improve mobility, reduce pain and tightness, and release stored tension and stress in the body.

These 4 are my go-to:

✨ Hip Flexor Stretch
✨ Lunge Hold
✨ Extended Quad Stretch
✨ Rotated Lunge

The best part? You can do all of them in just a few minutes, at the end of your workout or after a long, busy day.

🙌🏻Consistency > intensity. Small habits like this add up over time.

Save this for later & add it to your daily routine 💫

Is your brain working against you or for you? 🧠

This week on the Mind Movement Health podcast I’m interviewing Zuzu and Amy Armes from about how neuro-auto-associative programming can change your entire health journey.

Most of us think illness is only physical, but it’s often rooted deep in how our brain is wired- trying to keep us alive but sometimes making us sick.

Your mind isn’t just a bystander; it’s the key to healing from within.

Your body is holding more stress than you think… so give this a try 🌬️

If you’ve been feeling tense, overwhelmed, or “on edge” lately, this is your sign to pause.

Especially over the Easter weekend, when life can feel busy, social, or a little out of routine… your nervous system will thank you for this 💫

Try this simple breath reset:

Inhale for 4…
Exhale for 6…

Repeat for a few minutes.

Longer exhales help signal safety to your body, shifting you out of stress mode and into a calmer, more regulated state.

✨ Do it in bed
✨ Do it on the couch
✨ Do it between plans this weekend

It’s simple… but powerful.

Happy Easter Everyone! 🐰
