Relentless sugar cravings in perimenopause?

Not a willpower problem.
A strategy problem.

Most women are trying to “be good”…
then wondering why it all falls apart later

You don’t need more discipline...
you need a better setup

(especially in perimenopause, when blood sugar + stress are less forgiving)

It’s not what you take out...
it’s what you add

Fix the day
and cravings stop running the show

Save this — you’ll want to come back to it

15/04/2026

if today was the day you were sick of feeling drained and exhausted in perimenopause…

here are the 7 things i’d fix first 👇

because this isn’t about willpower

most women i speak to aren’t lazy or unmotivated…

they’re just running on empty

magnesium

this is literally the ignition key for your energy

no magnesium = no energy

you’re not just “tired”…
your body is missing what it needs to actually function

think dark chocolate, almonds, leafy greens

then supplement if needed (glycinate is a good option)

b vitamins

your spark plugs

remember berocca in the 90s? 😅
yep… that was b vitamins doing their thing

but food first:
eggs, meat, whole foods

not just caffeine and vibes

actually eat

i cannot tell you how many women come to me exhausted…

and barely eating

running on fumes and wondering why they feel like a wet dishcloth

no fuel = no energy

balance your blood sugar

protein at every meal

because when your blood sugar crashes…

so does your energy

(and your mood while we’re at it)

fix your bookends

your day starts and ends here

a proper breakfast
and getting to bed at a reasonable time

get these right and everything in the middle gets easier

move your body (but be smart)

if your energy is on the floor…

HIIT is not the answer

you don’t need to destroy yourself to feel better

walking, fresh air, gentle movement

something that actually gives you energy back

your nervous system matters

in midlife, as progesterone and oestrogen drop…

your stress levels naturally go up

so it takes WAY less to feel overwhelmed, burnt out and exhausted

if you never switch off…

you will feel constantly drained

rest is not lazy — it’s necessary

and honestly?

this is where most women get stuck

they try harder…

instead of actually supporting their body

follow if you’re done feeling like a tired version of yourself all the time

Collagen is now being sold as a “natural GLP-1 booster”

Alongside claims around gut health and weight loss

So what does the science actually say?

There is some research

But it’s based on:
early lab studies
animal data
and one tiny tiny human pilot

Which means it’s interesting…

But not strong, real-world evidence

And definitely not something I’d rely on for weight loss or gut health

And this isn’t new

Collagen has been making bold claims for years

Skin
joint health

Yes — there are some small improvements

But nothing like what’s being promised

And when you remove industry-funded studies…

Those benefits become much less clear — and in some cases disappear altogether

The good news?

We already have evidence-based ways to support all of this

Through nutrition and lifestyle

Protein
fibre
balanced meals
sleep
movement
stress management

These are the things that actually move the needle

I’m not anti-supplement

But I am very pro not wasting your money

And for most women…

This isn’t where I’d be starting

Have you seen these collagen claims popping up recently?

I see this ALL the time…

Women blaming their willpower
when actually it’s the way they’ve been taught to do things that’s the problem

If you recognised yourself in this… you’re not alone

And you’re definitely not broken

If you’re done with the cycle and want to do this in a way that actually works for your body now…

message me “RESET”

03/04/2026

I see this ALL the time with women I work with…

They think the problem is 4pm
Or that they’ve got “no willpower”

But most of the time?

It started at breakfast

If you’re finding yourself picking by 11am, crashing by 4pm and then back in the kitchen again later… this is usually what’s going on

When you either skip proper food
Or have carbs on their own…

Your blood sugar shoots up
…and then crashes

And when it crashes?

Your body goes into “fix this NOW” mode

So it starts shouting for the quickest energy it can get

Sugar
Biscuits
Cakes
Carby snacks

So that 11am nibble?
That 4pm crash?
That evening picking?

That’s not you lacking willpower

That’s your body trying to bring things back into balance

And the frustrating part?

This is exactly what keeps so many women stuck thinking
“I’m doing everything right… why isn’t it working?”

If you want some really simple breakfast ideas that actually stop this happening (and keep you full, energised and in control)…

Just comment “BREKKIE” or send me a message and I’ll send them over

I didn’t want to be old before my time

At 43 I just knew something felt… off

Not awful
Not rock bottom

But not right either

Recurring UTIs
aching joints
hormones all over the place
energy dipping

And I remember thinking

“what is going on here?”

The confusing part?

I was already fairly healthy

I wasn’t doing anything extreme
I wasn’t living off junk

But something had clearly shifted

What I didn’t realise at the time was

👉 my body had entered a different stage

And what had always worked before

just… wasn’t working in the same way anymore

I did try HRT (twice), but it didn’t suit me

And this is where I think a lot of women get stuck

HRT can absolutely be helpful

But it’s just one tool in the toolbox

👉 it’s not the full solution
👉 and it’s not a magic bullet

We’ve almost been led to believe that if we don’t take it

we just have to put up with symptoms

That’s simply not true

Once I started adjusting my approach

to actually match this stage of life

everything started to shift

Not because I tried harder

👉 but because I did things differently

Now at 50, I’m largely symptom free

And I’ve seen the same with countless women I work with

Reducing or completely getting rid of symptoms

with or without HRT

If you’re feeling like your body has changed

and nothing quite makes sense anymore

you’re not broken

you may just need a different approach

My clients don’t fear nights out or holidays.

They don’t start again every Monday.
They don’t panic about food.
They don’t feel like they’ve “ruined everything” after one meal out.

And no — it’s not because they’re just being “good” all the time.

It’s because they understand what their body actually needs now.

There is such a thing as trying too hard in midlife.

Eating less.
Cutting more.
Pushing harder.

It doesn’t fix belly fat.
It often makes it worse.

Because this isn’t just about calories anymore.
It’s hormonal.
It’s stress-driven.
And it plays by completely different rules.

So instead of restriction…

we focus on:

✔ supporting your hormones
✔ reducing stress (not adding to it)
✔ building a way of eating and living that actually feels normal

No “good” or “bad” foods
(that’s diet culture schtick)

Just knowing when to dial things up
when to ease off
and how to live your life without constantly overthinking everything.

Because what’s the point otherwise?

This isn’t about losing a stone.

It’s about feeling like yourself again.

If you feel like your body has suddenly changed in your 40s… this might explain why.

Most women I speak to are doing everything they’ve always done:

eating less
exercising more
cutting carbs

And yet their belly fat won’t shift.

This isn’t a lack of discipline.

In perimenopause, your biology changes.

Fat storage changes.
Hormones shift.
Your body becomes more sensitive to stress, food and recovery.

Which means some of the things you’ve been told are “healthy” can actually make things worse.

Especially when it comes to belly fat.

If you want to understand what’s actually going on — and what actually works now — I’m running a free masterclass:
