Hard work isn’t the problem. Empty fatigue is. 🛑

I’ll be the first to admit it: I love a high-intensity, sweaty session. There is nothing like the feeling of pushing your limits in a Hyrox or a long run. 🏃‍♀️

But I also know that if you’re in your 40s and you’re chasing that “crushed” feeling every day—without the right physiological foundations—you are redlining your engine.

When we work hard on an empty tank or without structural insurance (like heavy lifting), our brain perceives a “Famine Signal.”

The result?

Your cycle vanishes or becomes irregular.

Your 3 PM energy is non-existent.

You stop getting stronger, even though you’re working harder than ever.

I am a Hormone Hybrid. I still do the hard work. I still get the sweat sessions in. But I do it with a Strategic Plan:

1. I Fuel the Work: No more fasted “grind.” I give my body the “Safe Signal” it needs to burn energy, not store it.

2. I Lift for Power: I use heavy weights to protect my bone density and muscle mass as hormones fluctuate.

3. I Prioritise Recovery: I make sure my engine is ready for the next “redline” session instead of living in a constant state of exhaustion.

You don’t have to stop working hard. You just have to stop working against your biology. ⚙️

I’m currently taking 5 women through a full Bespoke Overhaul to apply this logic to their specific routines. I have 3 spaces remaining.

If you are a female in your 40’s; training fasted on just caffeine & your wondering why your holding onto stubborn body fat, you need to swipe across ➡️ and listen to this!

Increased cortisol only makes you hold onto body fat!

What worked for you in your 30’s probably isn’t working for you now!

Is your engine redlining?

5 signs to look for this weekend. ⚙️

Most active women in their 40s pride themselves on their discipline. They train hard, they “eat clean,” and they keep pushing.

But there is a thin line between “Performance” and “Survival Mode.” 🛑

If you’ve been using a 30s manual for a 40s engine, you might have noticed some warning lights appearing on the dashboard.

These aren’t just “signs of age”—they are physiological signals that your engine is struggling to keep up with the load.

Swipe through to see the 5 signs your engine is redlining. ➡️

If you ticked more than two of these boxes, your biology is likely in Low Energy Availability (LEA).

Your brain has detected a “Famine Signal” and is pulling energy away from your recovery, your sleep, and your hormonal health just to keep the lights on.

The good news? You don’t need to “grind” your way out of this. You just need a different manual.

I’ve created The 40+ Engine Reset to show you the 3 logical shifts I used to get my own engine back on track, get my cycle back, and stop the 3 PM crash for good.

I spent years thinking I was hitting menopause early. My GP even said the same . 🛑

In 2021, I came off the pill. I was approaching 40 and I was done with synthetic hormones.

When my cycle became irregular, I blamed the years on the pill. When it disappeared for 4 months at a time, I’ll be honest—I thought it was a blessing. It didn’t interfere with my training.

But I was redlining my engine and I didn’t even know it.

For 5 years, my periods were a mess.

My GP told me what most women hear: “You’re in your early 40s, Adele. This is peri-menopause.” I was even put on HRT.

It was a hard pill to swallow. I felt like my body was failing me.

The missing piece? LEA (Low Energy Availability).

I’d ruled it out because I ate A LOT. I wasn’t losing weight. I thought energy deficiency would have meant I was putting less in than what I was burning off.

I was wrong.

Here is the logic shift that changed everything:

In your 40s, your body is hyper-sensitive to cortisol. It doesn’t care about the “total calories” you eat at dinner. It cares about the Nutrient Timing during your training window.

My body was taking everything it needed for my high-intensity training and pulling back on my cycle because it didn’t feel “safe.” It was in survival mode, not performance mode.

The Result?

After digging into the physiology of the female athlete and fixing my nutrient timing, I got my cycle back. I have been regular for 5 months now.

The Truths:

• Missing a period isn’t a blessing: It’s a warning light for reduced bone density and metabolic health.

• LEA doesn’t have a “look”: You don’t have to be losing weight to be under-fueled.

• The “Monday Reset” is a trap: Reducing calories midweek to “make up” for the weekend is the fastest way to spike cortisol and tell your brain there’s a famine coming.

Stop guessing. Start fueling.

I’ve mapped out the exact 30-minute fueling window I used to signal “safety” to my brain in my free guide: The 40+ Engine Reset.

⏱️ The hormone cycle explained in 3 minutes—and how it actually affects your training and nutrition.

If you’ve ever wondered why the exact same workout feels amazing one week and like an absolute slog the next, your hormones are likely pulling the strings.

In this breakdown, we cover:

📉 The Low-Hormone Phase: Why this is your prime time for heavy lifting, high-intensity work, and pushing your performance.

📈 The High-Hormone Phase: Why your core temperature rises (making workouts feel harder!) and why hitting your protein targets becomes absolutely crucial to protect your muscle.

Stop fighting your physiology and start working with it to get the most out of your training. 🤝

For the first time in years, I’ve had a full week off training!

No heavy lifting. No running. No Hyrox. No redlining. The only things I’ve done are walking and mobility.

The “old manual” in my head was screaming at me. It told me I was losing my fitness, falling behind, and being lazy.

There were moments I almost gave in and headed for the squat rack just to quiet the noise.

But I stayed the course. Here is the logic:

• Blunting the Spike: After the marathon, my cortisol was already high. Pushing back into high-intensity training would have just kept me in “survival mode.”

• Resetting the Engine: In your 40s, recovery is where the progress happens. By sticking to walking and mobility, I’ve given my nervous system a chance to actually down-regulate.

• The Result: I feel incredible. I’m going into next week feeling “ready to go” rather than just “getting through.”

It’s not about doing less; it’s about being strategic so you can do more of what you love, for longer.

The Engine Reset guide is almost ready.

I’m currently finalising the “Pre-Fueling” protocols and the strategy shifts I used to get my own performance back.

Keep your eyes peeled—I’ll be dropping the link very soon.

Fasted training in your 40’s doesn’t burn fat - it triggers survival mode.

I was a Level 4 Exercise Specialist using the wrong manual. Now, I use the science to work WITH my biology, not against it.

I’ve summarised 3 logical shifts I made into a 3 page guide: The 40+ Engine Reset.
