Turning my daily walk into a metabolism-boosting workout with my weighted vest.
Such a simple tool to make an impact. Don't have a weighted vest? - Simply fill a rucksack with heavy things!

Here's why I love it
➡️ Increases calorie burn (without extra time)
➡️ Builds strength + bone density - so important in perimenopause!
➡️ Makes my heart + lungs work a little harder
➡️ Still gentle on the joints

Walking is one of the most underrated tools for fat loss and hormone health—and with small tweaks like this, it becomes even more powerful.

👉 Would you try walking with a weighted vest?

What a weekend.....

Never out for weeks then out two nights on the trot!!! 🤣
What is happening to me 🤣

Seriously though, one (or two 🙈) nights of drinks won’t undo your progress. What matters is consistency over time. See it as just a small detour, not a setback.

So how should you approach the “Day After Drinking”?
Use this recovery plan to help you reset and feel good the day after

➡️ SAVE this post for the next time you have 'a day after drinking' and need to get back on track

💥Morning Reset

Hydrate first thing: 2–3 glasses of water, add electrolytes or a pinch of sea salt + squeeze of lemon.

Breakfast (balanced + gentle on digestion)

Option 1: Veggie Omelette + avocado + whole-grain toast

Option 2: Greek yoghurt parfait with berries + chia seeds + a sprinkle of granola

Movement: 20–30 min light walk, stretching, or yoga (avoid intense workouts if you feel drained).

💥Midday Boost

Hydration: Keep sipping water, aim for at least 2 litres total by evening.

Lunch (protein + veggies + complex carbs):

Option 1: Grilled chicken or salmon + quinoa + roasted veggies

Option 2: Lentil salad with leafy greens, olive oil, and feta

Mood reset: 5–10 min outside in sunlight (helps circadian rhythm + mood).

💥 Afternoon Support

Snack (stabilise blood sugar)

Apple slices + almond butter

Hummus + veggie sticks

Light movement break: Walk or mobility flow to beat sluggishness.

💥 Evening Nourishment

Dinner (protein + fibre-rich veggies)

Option 1: Turkey or lean beef stir-fry with mixed veggies + cauliflower rice or brown rice

Option 2: Baked salmon with broccoli + sweet potato

Wind down: Herbal tea (ginger, peppermint, or chamomile) for digestion and sleep.

Sleep: Aim for a full night (7–9 hrs) to help your body recover.

🔥 Mindset Tip: No need to “make up for it” with restriction or overtraining. Just slip back into your normal rhythm — that’s what builds consistency.

🌸 Supporting women through their menopause journey with REAL, sustainable results 🌸

I don't believe in quick fixes because they simply don't work (not long term). Your body deserves better than temporary 'fixes'.

Instead, I focus on:
✨ Evidence-based approaches that honour your unique needs
✨ Sustainable lifestyle changes that stick
✨ Long-term wellness strategies that evolve with you

Menopause isn't something to "fix" - it's a natural transition that deserves proper support, patience, and expertise.

I have space for online coaching. If you are ready to invest in lasting change, let's work together to create a plan that truly works for you.

Let’s Change the Way We Age!

At 50, I feel vibrant, strong, and full of life — and I have no plans in slowing down!

Midlife is not a time to slow down – it’s a time to thrive! Here are 4 healthy tips for embracing this phase of life as a woman, feeling strong, confident, and vibrant:

1️⃣ Prioritise Strength Training: Build muscle and boost metabolism! Strength training not only 'tightens' your body but also improves bone density, which is essential for women in midlife. 🏋️‍♀️

2️⃣ Nourish with Balanced Nutrition: Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and fibre to support hormone balance and energy levels. Hydration is key too! 💧🥗

3️⃣ Embrace Stress Management: Regular mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and yoga can reduce stress, support mental clarity, and enhance emotional well-being. 🧘‍♀️

4️⃣ Stay Connected: Surround yourself with a supportive community. Socialising and connecting with like minded people.

➡️ Follow for health, wellness & fitness tips/advice in your menopause journey ✨️

Feeling a little foggy or fatigued this Monday morning? Here’s your reminder that you’ve got this.

1️⃣ New Week, New Hormonal Wins
Every Monday is a fresh chance to support your changing body with intention.

2️⃣ Progress, Not Perfection
You don’t need to do it all—just one nourishing choice at a time adds up. Start where you are.

3️⃣ Small Habits, Big Hormonal Shifts
A 10-minute walk, a protein-rich breakfast, or 5 deep breaths can reset your whole day (and support your hormones!).

4️⃣ Fuel to Feel Good
When you nourish your body with whole foods, rest, and movement, you empower your mind and mood too.

5️⃣ You Are Power in Progress
Perimenopause isn’t a decline—it’s a powerful transition. You are stronger, wiser, and more capable than ever.

✨ Let this week be about supporting your body, not fighting it.

WEEKEND REMINDER 💥

Just because it’s the weekend doesn’t mean your goals take time off.
You don’t need to “start over Monday” — because there’s nothing to start over from.

Enjoy yourself and stay aligned.
Move your body, nourish it well, rest when needed, and remember:
You don’t have to flick the ‘f*ck it’ switch.

Balance isn’t all or nothing — it’s choosing what feels good and supports you.
You’ve got this!

➡️ Here I'm fueling up with some protein-packed pancakes 💪
Who says healthy can't be delicious?
