You’re eating well. You’re exercising. You’re trying to do all the “right” things.

But your body feels like it’s working against you.

The weight that used to shift doesn’t. Your energy drops for no obvious reason. Your sleep is unpredictable
And part of you wonders quietly

“What am I doing wrong?”

Here’s what many women aren’t told.
In midlife your body changes its rules.

Hormones shift. Stress tolerance changes. Your metabolism responds differently to food, exercise and sleep.
So the strategies that worked in your 30s may no longer work now.
It’s not about trying harder.
It’s about understanding what your body needs at this stage of life.

If you’ve felt this frustration lately, you’re not alone
Imagine sitting down with someone who can take you through exactly what your body needs so you have a plan

A personalised strategy that fits for your body and your lifestyle

This is literally what I do everyday with women in midlife

Book in a free discovery call so we can chat about how I can help you 😊

This is something that easily confuses a lot of people
Why are we eating a low fat yoghurt now, isnt fat good for us?

Yes fat is absolutely essential in our diet but you don’t need to get it in yoghurt if your goal is to increase protein and manage your calorie intake.

If you want to eat a high protein diet with fewer calories then high protein yoghurt is a great option. You can eat 3/4 cup for around 15-20g protein without feeling too full. For some healthy fat you can add your seeds and nuts which are high in fat and also great fibre for your gut health.

Last week I celebrated another year earthside 🎂 Birthdays always make me reflect on my working year & where we are with the health / wellness industry

While health support & research for women in midlife Is progressing it’s still lacking and needs to go further

So I thought I’d share a small birthday wish list a few changes I would love to see in this space

🦴 Earlier bone density screening Why are we still waiting until women are over 65? So many women I see in clinic in their early 50s already have osteopenia. There is so much we can do in our 40s and 50s to protect bone health and prevent progression to osteoporosis but only if we’re actually looking early enough.
❤️ Better cholesterol screening Women are often told their cholesterol is “high” and to change their diet quickly with a statin script not far away. If heart disease is the leading cause of death, why isn’t ApoB & LpA included in routine testing? It’s a far more sensitive and meaningful marker of cardiovascular risk than total cholesterol alone. And why aren’t we talking more about gut health and liver function when we see high cholesterol both of which can influence markers far more than dietary cholesterol ever will?
🧠 Gut health and midlife health
With all the changes going on in midlife the gut is affected in so many ways. Increased bloating, constipation, food sensitivities and digestive discomfort are common
More support for diet & gut health should be a priority in midlife, because it impacts every aspect of health including mental health & our long term health

There is so much moreI could add but that’s for another post …
So tell me what would you love to see change?
💚

So much is changing and happening to our bodies in our 40s and 50s and it’s great we have broad guidelines on what we@can do to optimise our health.

But we are all different and have different presentations where just some of the following can be impacting us and how we feel each day without realising

- our gut health and our happy our microviome is
- levels of inflammation that naturally increase with the drop in hormones
- our metabolic health
- our liver & gallbaldde health which changes during this life stage
- the quality of our sleep which also changes
- how well our detoxification is working

These are all areas I am woking on with women because@the are all impacted by thr midlife transition to post menopause

These are the comments that I love to hear in clinic

They may not seem significant but these changes tell me so much and are so important - your body is responding

These are the changes that are setting your body up for long term change - your metabolism, your gut health, detoxification and hormones are working well so you can achieve weight loss or any health goal

it’s a sign that the body is responding and changing and not just a short term fix

If this resonates and this is the change you need book in for a discovery call so we can chat about how I can help you

Every woman I see in clinic is completely different with her own challenges and goals.

But this week, a few common themes have been popping up again and again.

We often need to take a step back and look at the basics:
🩵 are you sleeping enough?
🩵 Are you eating too much?
🩵 Are we setting up your day with a good morning routine?
🩵 Are you supporting detox pathways?

And one I always come back to in the consultation is planning.
If we don’t plan what we’re eating and when we are exercising how can we expect to be consistent?

Creatine is having a moment right now and I wanted to share the actual benefits so you can decide if its for you

With all the changes that women experience in perimenopuse and menopause, Creatine seems to be able to support not only the physical changes but also the mental changes that occur during this life phase.

You may benefit most if you

- vegetarian/ vegan
- a women going through perimeonpause/ menopause
- strength train regularly
- sleep deprived and experience a lot of stress

To notice any benefits you need to take it consistently for around 4 weeks.

Do you take creatine, have you noticed the benefits?

All of these foods provide key nutrients to support my body through perimenopause
They either decrease inflammation which is key during this transition or provide some key nutrient my body needs to function well.

Being intentional about your food each day can help set you up into a good rhythm of
increasing specific fibres and nutrients that will all support your gut and brain and decrease inflammation

🍵Green tea for polyphenols and antinflammatory. There is so much research on the benefits of green tea for your gut, brain and immune health

🫐Berries are such a great source of fibre, reduce inflammation and polyphenols

🌱Ground flaxseed for the omega 3 fats, fibre and a good source of phytoestrogens for modulating estrogen

🥝Kiwi fruit because they are so high in vitamin c and great for gut health

🍫Dark chocolate so I don’t feel deprived and for the polyphenols. I choose over 80%

🥚Eggs for choline which supports my brain and liver health

🥜Brazil nuts for selenium which is important for thyroid and breast health

There are so many other foods I could add to this list but these are just a few that you can easily eat regularly

What about you, do you have any foods you love that support your body and make you feel good?
