Perimenopause and menopause can feel overwhelming at times - especially when your body suddenly feels different, your energy changes or the things that used to work no longer do. Not to mention hot flushes, brain fog and weight in places you've never had it before. 🤪

HOWEVER, this is a wonderful time to focus on self-care and run some important baseline testing to help support your hormones, metabolism, bones, energy, gut health and overall wellbeing - setting you up for the exciting next chapter ahead. 💛

If you'd like some support from someone who’s been through it herself and understands both the science and the lived experience send me a DM or book in for a free 15-minute chat via my website to see how I can help ✨

✨ Kind Word Friday 🙏

I’m always so grateful for the trust my clients place in me. One of the greatest privileges of my work is seeing people in less pain, moving more freely, feeling more energised and gaining greater agency over their health. Supporting people to feel empowered in their own bodies is truly why I love what I do. 💛

🧬 Methylation may sound complicated… but it’s one of the most important biochemical processes in the body. It's also one of my favourite topics!

From mood, hormones and detoxification through to cardiovascular and reproductive health, methylation influences far more than most people realise.

And yes… nutrients like folate play a BIG role. 🥬

All of us can snack better if we are organised. 😃

🏃‍♀️When you’re running, your snacks need to be light, easy to digest, and quick to fuel - not sitting heavy in your stomach mid-stride.

Here are some simple whole food options that actually work 👇

🍌 Banana
Quick carbs + potassium = ideal pre or mid-run fuel

🫐 Berries
Light, refreshing, and packed with antioxidants (best pre-run or for shorter efforts)

🌴 Medjool dates (pitted)
Nature’s energy gels — easy to carry, easy to digest, and great for a quick boost

🍏 Apple slices (peeled if needed for digestion) + a little peanut butter
A mix of carbs + fats — better pre-run or for lower intensity sessions

🥜 Nuts & seeds( small handful)
More for pre-run fuel or recovery — a little goes a long way

🍇 Dried fruit
Portable, quick hit when you need it most

🎒 How to carry them:
• Reusable silicone bag tucked into your shorts or running belt
• Small zip pouch or soft flask pocket
• Wrap items like banana or apple slices in baking paper
• Pre-pack dates or dried fruit into single-serve portions

✨ Tip: Keep it simple - the longer or harder the run, the more you’ll want quick carbs over heavy snacks

Save this for your next run 🏃‍♂️
