Menopause doesn’t just change your body—it can change your relationships, too. If you’re feeling disconnected or invisible, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it, set new boundaries, and support each other in being seen and heard.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?” It’s not. Menopause can bring a whole host of mental and emotional changes that rarely get talked about. Let’s break the silence, share our stories, and support each other through the plot twists.

Many women are surprised to discover that menopause brings a wide range of lesser-known symptoms beyond hot flushes and night sweats. These can affect physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing, and are often under recognised , even by women experiencing them. These are just some of the physical symptoms.
Do you or dis you experience a symptom that was brushed aside ?

Are you confused by all the conflicting advice about menopause and nutrition?
You’re not alone.

From celebrity anecdotes to social media “quick fixes,” there’s a flood of myths out there about what women should eat during menopause. It’s no wonder so many women feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure where to turn.

Maybe you’ve heard you need to cut out carbs, avoid all fats, or that weight gain is simply inevitable. Or perhaps you’ve tried restrictive diets, only to feel more exhausted and discouraged. The truth? Many of these beliefs are outdated or just plain wrong.

The reality is:

Good nutrition during menopause isn’t about deprivation or following the latest fad.

There’s no single food to avoid or magic supplement to take.

Your needs are unique—and you deserve advice that’s grounded in science, not hype.

If you’re feeling lost in the noise, I see you. My mission is to cut through the confusion, debunk the myths, and empower you with clear, compassionate, evidence-based guidance—so you can feel strong, nourished, and confident in your body at every stage.

When Cravings Aren't Just About Willpower.
One of the most common things I hear from women making changes to how they eat is:

“I thought I’d feel better by now, but all I can think about is chocolate and bread.”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone—and no, you’re not lacking willpower.

What you’re likely experiencing is something that feels a lot like withdrawal.
Why It Feels So Intense: Let’s Talk Dopamine

Highly processed foods—especially those high in sugar, salt, and fat—aren’t just tasty. They also stimulate dopamine, a key brain chemical that plays a major role in how we experience pleasure, reward, and motivation. Read more here 👇
