Nutritional Therapist + Mindset Coach, helping perimenopausal women reclaim their energy and balance hormonal chaos so they can feel like their frikkin’ fabulous selves again

25/02/2026

Like srsly dude, if you’re not juggling kids, work, home, dog, laundry, cooking, food shopping, maintaining some semblance of hygiene, trying not to look like a troll, remembering to order your HRT AND take it on the right days, plus your collagen, protein, electrolytes, lifting weights but not too heavy but also not too light, doing cardio but not too much, stretching, getting a good night’s sleep and remembering to get a glass of water, then don’t even speak to me.

If you’ve spent the last two (or three!) decades feeling like a failure around food because you can’t ‘stick to’ a diet - and now you’ve reached perimenopause and the advice is even MORE overwhelming than ever - listen up…

Most of the women I’ve worked with come to me believing they just need to find a diet they can stick to… and that this new shiny diet is just around the corner.

Let me hold your hand while I tell you this:

There IS no mystical, magical “diet” out there that you’ll ever be able to sustain long term.

If you’re following 100 different rules and feeling like you’ve failed at all of them, this is not a recipe for “success”.

And when we add perimenopausal cravings, moods, exhaustion and overwhelm into the mix, compliance drops even further because, well, we’re tired!

What I teach gives you the tools to stick to a way of eating that is personalised to YOUR lifestyle.

It doesn’t require you to overhaul everything you’re doing and fall at the first hurdle.

It’s not flash or sexy.

But flash and sexy hasn’t got you very far up to now has it?

If you’re here for the boring, repeatable, consistent habits that actually work rather than stopping and starting new “plans” every five minutes, you’re in the right place.

Make sure you’re following .lauren for midlife nutrition you can stick to.

Seriously though - what would perimenopausal women do without our Notes app??

Mine is just a morgue of forgotten stuff + reels ideas 🤣

What’s the most unhinged thing in your Notes app right now? 👇🏼

I know this is going to ruffle some feathers. But someone needs to say it - because this “advice” is the reason most women in perimenopause are feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

I’m not saying that lifting heavy weights is not important for our bone health, cardiovascular system, muscle mass, yada yada all the things. We all KNOW this.

But continuing to shove this advice down our tired, overwhelmed, hormonal throats is making us feel - yet again - like we are not doing ENOUGH.

“Lift heavy weights” assumes that midlife women have:

- Access to heavy weights via a gym membership, personal trainer or home gym

- Time - because the “advice” is 3-4 times a week

- How to do this without injuring ourselves

- Nutrition knowledge on how best to fuel ourselves for heavy weights sessions.

There are 100 things that midlife women could probably doing long before we get to the stage where lifting heavy weights is even an option. For example:

- Get enough food during the day rather skipping meals and grabbing a bar of chocolate on the way home from work

- Learning how to eat consistent protein during the day to manage energy, mood and cravings

- Getting a good night’s sleep

- Regulating our nervous system so we’re not running on cortisol and Creme Eggs.

I’d be working on building these foundational habits around my nutrition and my nervous system long before getting on a squat rack.

Why? Because without proper fuel, rest and nervous system regulation we’re more prone to injury, greater stress on the body and starting something we can’t stick to.

And MOST midlife women I speak to aren’t even doing these basics.

Agree or disagree? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Perimenopause doesn’t respond well to extremes.

You have a few good days.

Then you’re tired.

You skip lunch.

And it all falls apart again.

And you’re back having the same internal conversation.

“Why can’t I do better?”

I’m telling you - with love - this isn’t about needing a stricter plan or more discipline.

What you need its:

Regular meals.
Stable energy.
Support that meets you where you’re at.
Simplicity for your already tired brain.

Nourished gives you that.

Doors close tonight.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same pattern…

If perimenopause has taught you anything, it’s that trying to do it all doesn’t work.

The Nourished Way focuses on small tweaks, not grand overhauls.

Consistency rather than striving for “perfection”.

Supporting your body, rather trying to have more “self-control”.

This is how the women I work with go from feeling knackered and frazzled around food to eating regularly, having energy that lasts, and not needing a fresh reset every Monday.

Nourished is open (doors close Wednesday).

Ever listened to one of the “Big Podcasts” (you know the ones) and come away feeling like you’re doing it all wrong?

That your diet should be more “dialled in”
That you’re not lifting right or heavy enough
That you should be “optimising”

🤦🏼‍♀️ Give me strength.

Most busy, frazzled, menopausal mums do not have the capacity for all this sh*t.

So stop heaping all this extra pressure on us.

It’s actually keeping us stuck, overwhelmed and frozen in fear.

I prefer to create simple routines that midlife women can actually fit into their already chaotic lives.

Nutrition tweaks.
Micro habits for your nervous system.
How to build habits that don’t make you want to cry on a Sunday night.

If this sounds more up your street than “biohacking” (honestly 🙄), then join me inside my membership Nourished.

I built it just for you.

Doors are open now.

I’ve yet to meet a woman in her 40s or 50s who hasn’t tried some kind of diet plan.

Whether it’s for w£ight loss or ‘clean’ eating - most women have developed some kind of ‘on/off’ relationship with food by the time she reaches midlife.

This was me too.

Being a nutritionist comes with its own set of challenges.

I’ve done every juice cleanse, gut protocol, paleo plan, sugar free detox and autoimmune diet known to man, and I also ended up back in the same place - overeating “c.rap” and having to “start over”.

Well once perimenopause hits you need whole kind of different support.

Restriction is so 2017.

We need nourishment, nutrients and nervous system support because - let’s face it - we’re knackered and we haven’t got time for a 3-hour meal prep routine or anyone’s nonsense.

This is exactly why I created Nourished.

To give midlife women the tools to care for their changing bodies and their frazzled minds with simple tweaks that work, that fit around our chaotic lives and that don’t require any tracking, logging or counting.
