Why do so many women suddenly feel anxious in menopause?
Itâs not just âin your head.â Hormone changes, blood sugar swings and even the way you breathe all play a role.
In this podcast episode I break down:
âš The impact of diet on mood and anxiety
âš How HRT can help
âš Why breathwork is one of the fastest tools to calm your system
If anxiety has been catching you out, this episode will help you connect the dots and take back some control.

PEACE OF MIND | Last week I went to London with my daughter to see Book of Mormon which was great fun. Sheâs at an age now where we can really enjoy things together. We picked a great steak restaurant for lunch (her current fav) and she was extremely disappointed with me when I had the steak salad⊠it still had steak!!!
A few years ago though, a day like this wouldâve been much harder. Getting the train in particular used to trigger so much anxiety. Iâd push myself through it because I love going out but I didnât even realise it was anxiety at the time.
Instead, it showed up as:
feeling like I couldnât breathe properly
worrying I might pass out
lightheadedness
obsessively checking the route
(Okay⊠I still like to know where Iâm going, but nobodyâs perfect!)
Around 50% of women experience anxiety or irritability in menopause (UCL study). Yet itâs one of the most under recognised symptoms.
Breathwork has hands down been one of the most effective tools for me and my clients. Not long meditations but functional breathing. Improving the way you breathe all of the time, so you donât reach states of panic or high anxiety, but also having in the moment techniques should you need them.
If youâre in North Essex and want to explore how breathwork can help:
Intro to Breathwork for Menopause
Sat 13th Sept, Brightlingsea

Perfect if youâre new to all this, youâll get an understanding of how and why breathing helps during menopause, plus learn how to breathe optimally day to day.
Not local? This is soon to be available as an online session you can complete in your own time.

Party girl turned sofa dweller, that was me when perimenopause hit hard. I didnât recognise myself and I definitely didnât feel like me.
Thatâs why Iâm so passionate about talking about this openly because it doesnât have to be your new normal.
This was actually my very first podcast episode back in Feb 2024 (which feels like forever ago). I listened back today and wow, I realised I missed some bits of my story, but what I did share was the start of everything I do now.
You can listen back to this episode of Transform Your Menopause and any others that take your fancy via the link in the comments below đ
Whatâs the symptom that hit you hardest?
19/08/2025
The reason youâre still suffering in perimenopause đ
Itâs not because youâre ânot disciplined enoughâ
Itâs because your focus is in the wrong place
âš Menopause support isnât about overhauling your entire life in one go
âš Itâs not about journaling, endless meal prep or training like an Olympian.
âš Itâs about knowing exactly where to put your energy so the changes stick
And letâs get real:
Life doesnât pause for your hormones
School runs, teenagers, your career, whatever else life wants to throw your way⊠itâs a lot to juggle
This stuff isnât going away.
Thereâs never going to be a perfect time
You donât need more unrealistic advice from someone who hasnât walked in your shoes yet.
You need a plan that works in real life.
Thatâs why I created SHIFT. My self led course, 10 min videos, zero nonsense, just the strategies that actually make a difference and you can work through in your own time
What you decide today will shape how you feel in 3â6 months:
⥠Energy back
⥠Brain fog gone
⥠Confidence to get out there and live your life
Itâs there for the taking
You just need to decide youâre in.

ROCKET SCIENCE | I love this way of eating in summer - unstructured, just throwing together whateverâs in the fridge. (Yes, I only thought to take the photo after Iâd nearly eaten it all⊠inspiration strikes when it strikes!)
Todayâs lunch: rocket (usually itâs a mixed bag to up the plant count), tomato, cucumber, beetroot and a 5 bean medley from Merchant Gourmet â a staple in my cupboard because it works in anything. And today I cracked open the brie. Itâs the cheap Tesco stuff but left to come up to room temperature itâs gorgeous. (Cheese connoisseurs, donât come for me!)
Easy effort + great taste = my favourite way to eat well, especially during menopause when cooking motivation might be low but keeping up nutrient rich meals is a game changer for symptoms like anxiety, low mood, energy and sleep struggles.
Later Iâm updating my Tried & Tested Recipes page with dishes that are perfect for now:
Iâll add the link to the comments once theyâre ready for you to view.
Until then, which one has your fancy? đ€

RISE + SHINE
Are you a âleave it to Septemberâ person?
Holidays are for letting loose and youâll deal with the consequences laterâŠ
Or are you more âuse the time nowâ Free from the constraints of everyday life, to test out new habits, seeing what actually works for you?
Personally, I think thereâs a sweet spot in the middle. It doesnât have to be all or nothing and keeping a few basics in place over the holidays can make a huge difference to how you feel.
One of the easiest wins? Breakfast.
Get it right and it can steady your perimenopause symptoms, mood and cravings so you have energy to get out there and enjoy the day (yes, even on holiday).
Iâve just shared a blog post on Best Breakfasts for Perimenopause and Menopause â including my favourite everyday breakfasts for women in midlife.
âïž will add the link in the comments...
What's your favourite breakfast?

Hi Iâm Julie, I help women approaching the menopause to gain control of their weight and manage symptoms through changing their diet.
For years you have put your family first and have juggled a hectic personal life with a busy, professional career. Your weight has crept up over the years but despite numerous diets, it is still going up. To the point that you now feel unhappy when you look in the mirror and no longer see yourself. You used to exude confidence and you want to get that spark back. The problem is you feel like youâve tried everything and donât know where else to turn.
I specialise in working with women who have had years of yo-yo dieting without success, who want to feel good about themselves and start living life to the full again. Often, my clients are approaching the menopause and are finding managing their weight even more difficult to manage but combine this with the onset of symptoms such as disrupted sleep, mood swings, hot flushes, joint pain & brain fog, their goal seems even further off in the distance.
This is where I come in.
Itâs not the case of calories in vs calories out anymore, in your 20âs you may have been able to cut a few things out and lose a bit of weight but not now. Changes to your hormones and simply how our bodies alter as we get older mean we need to eat differently. I can show you how to do this in small, easy to manage steps.
Through my work I have found that itâs not just about food, itâs also about BEHAVIOUR CHANGE. Guided by you, I will help you form new positive habits that fit into your lifestyle so that change feels easy. By helping you feel successful this will empower you to make greater change.
My aim is to bring back the joy and pleasure in eating, to help you nourish and love your body again whilst helping you to lose weight and keep it off for good.
This isnât a diet. This is a new way of life. One without guilt, where you, feel like you again.
How I can support you:
I have a FREE Facebook Community where the focus is on good health for all. Youâll find lots of recipes and a supportive environment of other like minded women.
Sign up to my monthly newsletter â I promise I wonât spam you!
I offer one-to-one coaching (currently online) â check out my website for more info, youâll also find my contact form there to request a no obligation chat. www.juliecourtnutrition.com
Throughout the year I offer Day Retreats, Nutrition for Menopause Workshops and Corporate Talks. If you have any queries please do get in touch.
