Fueling your workouts doesn’t require big changes.

A small amount of carbohydrate before and after training gives you better performance, steadier energy through the day and stronger recovery.
And when you’re looking to lose weight in perimenopause and beyond, this is actually the most effective time to include carbs in your diet — your body uses them efficiently, rather than storing them.

Cut through the struggle, get in touch to have someone in your corner and achieve those health goals!

Feeling tired, puffy or like your metabolism’s gone on holiday?

Your thyroid could be quietly running the show 🦋

Those tiny T4 and T3 hormones drive your energy, mood and weight — and when conversion’s off, you feel it.

Let’s get to the root of it.

Book a thyroid check-in and find out what your numbers aren’t telling you.

Chronic stress hides in plain sight.

Consistently I’m identifying that my clients bodies are under constant stress… whether it’s toxic stress, emotional stress or physical stress.

Realising the big stressors in your life is the first step to being able to do something about them!

If you’re feeling wired at night, crave quick carbs, or get afternoon brain fog and energy slumps, your nervous system may be over-recruited.

Here’s how stress interferes with digestion, hormones and recovery — and three simple ways to switch gears this week.

Did you know that most people don’t meet their daily protein requirements? And here’s the kicker… your protein needs actually go up as you age, not down 🤦🏻‍♀️

During perimenopause and menopause, your body is calling out for more support — for muscle, metabolism, blood sugar control and your nervous system. When you give it the fuel it needs, you’re not just “getting by,” you’re bringing back a better, stronger version of you.

The best part? It doesn’t have to be another stress. A simple daily protein shake is an easy win — helping you age well, stay strong, and feel like yourself again.

As with everything, there are always caveats to health where I wouldn’t use a protein shake, so it’s best to get professional guidance!

Struggling with stubborn weight gain, constant fatigue, and cold hands and feet — even though you’re exercising?

Here’s the truth: with low thyroid function, more isn’t always better. High-intensity workouts can actually push your thyroid and adrenals harder, leaving you more symptomatic instead of better.

✅The right kind of movement boosts circulation, supports energy, helps protect muscle (especially in midlife), and encourages better thyroid hormone balance.

❌ The wrong kind can keep you stuck in the cycle of exhaustion, weight struggles, and slow recovery.

Swipe through to spot the signs you might be overdoing it — and how to shift toward thyroid-friendly exercise that actually works with your body.

Remember, you might have to cut it back a little today and support a bit more recovery of the thyroid and adrenals… but in the near future, we can start dialing it back up again 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

If this feels like you, let’s get you on the right track.
Book a consult today and I’ll help you create a thyroid-friendly movement and lifestyle plan that works with your hormones, not against them.

Plantar fasciitis + thyroid? Yep, they can be linked 👣🦋

If you’ve ever woken up and felt that sharp heel pain when you take your first steps — hello plantar fasciitis — you know how frustrating it is. But here’s something many women don’t realise: if you’ve also got an underactive thyroid, the two can be connected.

Low thyroid function can make your muscles ache, feel stiff, and even weaken around your hips, thighs, and feet. And when your muscles aren’t firing properly, your poor fascia (that band under your foot) cops the extra load… cue plantar fasciitis flares.

It’s not just “sore feet” — it’s your thyroid, energy, and muscle health all tangled up together.

If you’re battling thyroid issues and plantar fasciitis, you’re not imagining it. The best step? Chat with someone who can look at the whole picture (thyroid, muscles, fascia, hormones — all of it).

Because feeling better isn’t about fixing one thing… It’s about supporting your whole body.

Why Your Symptoms Are Never About Just One System

When you’re struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight that won’t budge, or mood swings, it’s tempting to think there’s one root cause and one simple fix.

But the truth is—your body is an interconnected web.

Your adrenals help you cope with stress, your thyroid governs metabolism and energy, your nervous system sets the tone for calm or chaos, and your blood sugar control influences everything from cravings to hormones.

When one system is out of balance, it tugs on the others.

That’s why symptoms can feel so confusing. You might think it’s “just your thyroid,” but your adrenals are exhausted. Or maybe it’s your nervous system in overdrive, but blood sugar crashes are making it worse.

Healing isn’t about chasing one system—it’s about supporting them all so they can work together again.

This is where seeing a practitioner trained in women’s health makes all the difference.

I will give you a big-picture plan that takes into account your hormones, your stress response, your metabolism, and your unique story. That’s when the real shifts start to happen—and symptoms finally begin to resolve.

You don’t have to try to piece it all together on your own.

Support is here, and it starts with understanding how beautifully connected your body really is.

Perimenopause is a pivotal time for your thyroid — and it often gets overlooked.

Here’s why 👇

Oestrogen can soar up to 3x higher than what you had in your reproductive years, while progesterone struggles to keep up.

Progesterone isn’t just a “baby-making hormone” — it’s also a natural antihistamine and powerful immune balancer. But with more anovulatory cycles (and sometimes lifestyle factors), those levels dip.

The result? Immune changes that can set the stage for thyroid issues.

No surprise then that autoimmune thyroid conditions are most commonly diagnosed between ages 40–60.

But here’s the good news → there’s so much you can do to support your hormones, your thyroid, and your immune system naturally in this phase of life.

If you’ve been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease, have a family history of thyroid issues, or just feel like you’re not quite right— I’d love to support you.

With the right guidance, this season can feel lighter and more balanced 🌻

Did you know iodine isn’t just about thyroid health – it also plays an important role in how your body metabolises oestrogen?

When iodine is lacking, oestrogen can become harder for the body to clear efficiently. This can contribute to symptoms like heavy periods, breast tenderness, PMS, weight fluctuations, and mood swings. Getting enough iodine helps your liver and tissues process oestrogen more effectively, keeping your hormones balanced.

🌊 Iodine-rich foods to include in your diet:
Seaweed (nori, kelp, wakame)
White fish (cod, haddock)
Shellfish (prawns, oysters)
Eggs (especially the yolk)

Balancing oestrogen is about supporting your body with the right nutrients – and iodine is one of those small but mighty players.

💙 If you’re struggling with hormone symptoms, adding iodine-rich foods could be one piece of your puzzle.

It’s always best to check your levels before supplementing with Iodine. Iodine is definitely not right for everyone, but super important generally for breast and ovarian health as well as detoxification if your body’s in the right place.

For many women, oestrogen acts like a natural safety net.

Through your 20s, 30s and even into your early 40s, oestrogen keeps your skin glowing, bones strong, moods more stable, and metabolism ticking over.

But here’s the catch: this “oestrogen veil” can hide deeper imbalances. Things like sluggish thyroid, blood sugar swings, nutrient deficiencies, or even autoimmunity can quietly simmer in the background—without showing their true face.

Then comes perimenopause. As oestrogen begins to dip and fluctuate, the veil lifts. Suddenly, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, anxiety, or joint pain feel like they appear “out of nowhere.”

The truth? They were there all along—oestrogen just kept them hidden.

This is why perimenopause can feel like such a wake-up call. It’s not your body “breaking down,” it’s your body finally revealing where it needs more support.

You don’t have to wait until the veil lifts to take action. Supporting your thyroid, hormones, and overall health now can make the transition smoother and more empowering.
