Your late 30s and 40’s can feel like your body’s changing without your permission — energy dips, weight shifts, metabolism slows.

It’s not you doing something wrong, it’s your body evolving.

The goal isn’t to fight it… it’s to learn new ways to support it.

What worked before is likely not to work now because you’re not the same person you were at 25..

Stop fighting, and start supporting 💕

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!

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.

Feeling tired no matter what you do? 😵‍💫

You might be doing everything right — eating well, moving your body, trying to manage stress — yet your energy, weight, and mood still feel out of balance.

Here’s the thing: when oestrogen levels fluctuate, it directly impacts how your thyroid hormones work. And when your thyroid slows, so does your metabolism, energy, and motivation.

Supporting oestrogen balance is about recognising if it’s oestrogen, or thyroid, or even inflammation — and helping your body to balance, so your thyroid and metabolism can thrive again.

If you’ve been feeling flat, foggy, or stuck in “tired mum mode,” this one’s for you.

Your energy isn’t gone — it’s just waiting for balance.

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!

Your Thyroid & The Energetics of Speaking Your Truth

The thyroid isn’t just a gland that balances your metabolism — it also sits right in your throat chakra, the energetic centre of communication and self-expression.

When you swallow your feelings, suppress your voice, or avoid speaking your truth, that energy doesn’t just disappear. It stagnates. And stagnant energy in the throat can feel like tension, tightness, or even imbalance in the thyroid itself.

Energetically, your thyroid thrives when there’s flow — when your voice is heard, your needs are honoured, and your truth has space to be expressed.

This doesn’t mean you have to shout it from the rooftops. It can be as simple as:
💙 Journaling what you can’t yet say out loud
💙 Singing or humming to open the throat
💙 Practicing gentle but honest communication with yourself and others.

Your thyroid feels the vibration of your truth. The more you allow it to flow, the more ease you create in both your energy and your body.

💙 Begin with small truths… they create big shifts.

🌿 Your voice and your health are deeply connected. If you’re ready to find flow again, I can guide you step by step.

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, and quite often you don’t even realise the two are tangled together…

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 and piece it all together on your own.

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

✔️ B6-rich foods like turkey and salmon
✔️ Zinc from pumpkin seeds
✔️ Magnesium from leafy greens and sunflower seeds
✔️ Vitamin C from fresh fruits and veggies

These simple, everyday foods give your body the raw materials it needs to start supporting healthy progesterone levels naturally.

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.
