Angelique Clark - Nutrition to Soar

Your gut doesn’t just respond to what you eat…it responds to when your body thinks it’s time to eat.

And most women in midlife? Their internal clock is out of sync.
👉 Late nights
👉 Early alarms
👉 Screens at all hours
👉 Eating on the run

We override the very signals that regulate digestion, absorption, and repair. And then wonder why:
– Your gut feels off
– Your energy dips
– Your weight creeps up
– Your body feels… foreign

But here’s what really hit me 👇

I recently went away and completely disconnected.
No alarms.
No screens at night.
No artificial lights keeping me “on.”
I woke with the sun.
Watched every sunset.
Ate when I was actually hungry.
Slept when my body was ready.

And for the first time in a long time, I felt my body doing what it’s designed to do.
✨ Digestion felt effortless
✨ Hunger cues made sense
✨ Energy was stable
✨ My body felt calm

It made me realise how much we’ve normalised living against our biology.
Your gut has its own clock.
Your hormones follow rhythms.
Your metabolism expects patterns.

When those rhythms are disrupted, your body doesn’t stop working it just becomes less efficient, more reactive, and more inflamed.

This is what most women miss.

It’s not just about eating “better.” It’s about giving your body the right signals at the right time. Because timing is a biological signal.

And when you start applying evidence-based fat loss that works with your body instead of against it… everything changes.

If this resonates, this is exactly what I teach inside PERI28, not just what to eat, but how to align your body back to how it’s meant to function.

This isn’t just a poke bowl… it’s intentional.🥢

Because midlife isn’t the time to ‘just eat less and move more’ 🙃

Every ingredient in this bowl has a job:
🐟 Tuna → protein + omega 3s (hello inflammation support)
🫛 Edamame → plant protein + phytoestrogens (hormone support)
🥬 Sauerkraut → gut health = better digestion & metabolism
🍚 Cooked & cooled rice → supports blood sugar (no energy crashes)
🥑 Avocado + sesame → fats that actually keep you full
🥕 Veg → fibre for satiety + gut health

And the best part?
I didn’t cut out sushi or cook separately from my family.
I just learnt how to build it differently.
Because the problem was never the food…
👉 it was not understanding how to make it work for my body.
If you’ve been avoiding meals like this because you think they’ll “ruin your progress”…
this is exactly what you’ve been missing.

You don’t need more recipes… you need a strategy.

This is exactly what I teach inside my Peri28 Program.

No restriction.
No food fear.
Just food that actually supports you, rooted in nutrition science, midlife physiology, and longevity.

Peri Good Friday Fish Curry🐟☀️

This is one of those meals that ticks every peri box:
💛protein (muscle + metabolism support)
💛fibre (gut + hormone support)
💛micronutrients B12, collagen, omega 3, sulforaphane
💛warm, easy to digest, and actually satisfying

🤯But here’s the part most people overlook…There’s emerging research in psychology + sensory science showing that the context in which food is prepared and eaten including mood, attention, and social connection can influence digestion, satiety, and overall wellbeing.

Not because the calories change, but because your nervous system does.
And your nervous system drives digestion.

It’s actually the principle behind the Golden Glow spice blend by , created by my only trusted retreat chef .

And I can absolutely attest - caring about where your food comes from, and how it’s prepared, matters for your health. You can feel the difference between a meal made with care and attention and one that’s simply an afterthought.

So this Easter, instead of rushing meals, worrying about calories you need to “burn to earn” a hot cross bun, or stressing about being “good”:

👉 slow it down
👉 cook with intention
👉 sit, eat, and actually enjoy it
👉 care about where your food comes from

Because nourishment isn’t just nutrients.
It’s the environment you create around food and the way you choose to source and prepare it. If you need a place to start, this is it 👇

Ingredients:
* 1 x 400g Ayam coconut cream
* 2 Tbsp Golden Glow spice blend
* Salt, to taste
* 4 x barramundi fillets
* 2 heads broccoli (cut into florets)
* 1 capsicum (sliced)
* 1 cup green beans, snap peas or snow peas
* Low GI rice (cooked, to serve)

Method:
Make curry base
Whisk together coconut cream, Golden Glow spice, and salt, then gently bring to a simmer.
Cook fish (gentle = key)
Place barramundi in baking paper pouches.
Bake at 180°C for ~15 minutes until just cooked, then add to the curry sauce.
Steam veg
Steam broccoli, capsicum, and greens until tender but still vibrant.
Serve
Plate rice, add veg, top with curry and barramundi, and spoon over extra sauce.

The more experienced I get… the longer it takes me to build a meal plan.

And this is why.

This client didn’t need another calorie deficit.

She came to me:
post elite sport
post-hysterectomy
dealing with gut motility issues
migraines
nervous system dysregulation and increasing visceral fat

And even with a full medical team behind her… she still needed this level of precision.

Because fat loss in your 40s isn’t just about eating less.

It’s about:
what your gut can tolerate
how your nervous system is functioning
how your hormones are interacting
how your body responds to training and food timing

So instead of cutting food, we:
✔ adjusted fibre (& type) per meal
✔ distributed protein strategically
✔ built in pre + post training fuel
✔ simplified supplements
✔ supported her physiology

This is not a “protein points” challenge 🙄
This is not just a calorie deficit 🫠

This is personalised, physiology-driven elite nutrition.

And no, this approach isn’t for everyone & it’s why I only take a few 1:1 clients per year.

One thing I wish every woman over 40 knew…

Don’t assume fatigue, brain fog, low energy and poor exercise tolerance are simply part of the hormonal transition.

If you have heavy or irregular cycles, low iron stores may also be part of the picture.

In fact, research suggests around 1 in 3 women under 50 are iron deficient, largely due to menstrual blood loss.

Symptoms of low iron can include:
😩persistent fatigue
😶‍🌫️brain fog
👩‍🦲hair shedding
😮‍💨feeling breathless during exercise
😔low motivation to train

Another thing many women don’t realise is that coffee and tea can reduce iron absorption from meals because of compounds called tannins.

If you’re an active female, there is another factor to consider.

Exercise temporarily increases a hormone called hepcidin, which regulates iron in the body. When hepcidin rises after training, iron absorption from food can be reduced for several hours.

This doesn’t mean exercise is a problem, but timing your iron intake can make a difference.

If iron is low, it can help to:
☕️avoid coffee or tea with iron-rich meals
⏰leave at least an hour between meals and coffee/tea
🥝pair iron foods with vitamin C to improve absorption
🌅try to consume iron-rich meals earlier in the day or several hours after training, when hepcidin levels have settled.

❌And no, MORE coffee won’t fix iron deficiency, even if it feels like the only way to start the day.
