OMG Such a great hack!! 3 minute flax rolls ❤️ Naturally gluten free & high in protein, fibre & essential fats..

Ever wondered how to naturally balance your hormones during perimenopause? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Phytoestrogens in flaxseeds can help!

👉Phytoestrogens are plant-based compounds that mimic oestrogen in the body, helping to balance hormone levels.

Lignans, found abundantly in flaxseeds, are a type of phytoestrogen that can help with both high and low oestrogen symptoms, making them a powerful ally during perimenopause. ✨

🌿 Relief from Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Those sudden waves of heat and sleepless nights are no joke, but flaxseeds can help cool things down.

💡 Mood Swings Managed: Feeling all over the place? The lignans in flaxseeds help stabilize those emotional roller coaster

🌱 Inflammation Reduction: Chronic aches and pains? Omega-3s in flaxseeds can help reduce inflammation and make you feel more comfortable.

⚡ Energy Boost: Say goodbye to fatigue and hello to more energy with the fiber and nutrients packed in these tiny seeds.

🧘 Digestive Health: Constipation and bloating? Flaxseeds support a healthy gut, making digestion smoother.

To reap these benefits, aim for 1 to 2 tablespoons of milled flaxseeds per day. 🌟 This recipe uses 4!

4 tbsp ground flax
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 medium egg
1tsp seeds for sprinkling

In a small bowl mix the flax, baking powder, salt & egg, shape to form a roll.
Sprinkle with seeds
Microwave for 90 seconds

Slice & smother with your favorite toppings 😋

Let me know if you make them!

Claire was 47 & doing “everything right.”
But the weight was stuck...

She was:
Eating less
Skipping breakfast
Daily runs, HITT and spin class

When Claire came to see me, the issue clearly wasn’t willpower, but a classic high-cortisol pattern.

Weight gain around the middle
Low energy
Tired but wired
Anxiety
Poor sleep
Shaky between meals
Carb cravings
Irritability

This is why in perimenopause, we may need to learn a new set of tools
If we eat less and exercise harder… the nervous system stays in stress mode & that keeps us stuck.

Claire’s 12-week nutrition & health coaching plan included :

30g of protein at breakfast to stabilise blood sugar
Coffee after breakfast
Adequate protein and essential fats at every meal and snack, and a small amount of unrefined carbs with dinner to support sleep.
Half a plate of colourful vegetables
She swapped high intensity for strength training, yoga & swimming
She established a nutruring bed time routine
Targeted supplements to support blood sugar, stress and sleep

The result?
Claire now feels satisfied after eating,
Her energy, sleep, cravings & mood have been transformed
She feels confident in her body and enjoys wearing her favourite clothes again; she’s lost her menopausal belly.

And most importantly, she stopped fighting her body. 🙌

If you’re fed up with:
Meno belly that won’t shift
Feeling tired but wired
Constant cravings and blood sugar crashes
Weight gain despite “doing all the right things”

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s asking for a different strategy.

Are you eating these feel-good foods for your thyroid during perimenopause?
* Nutrients: iron, iodine, tyrosine, zinc, selenium, vitamin E, B2, B3, B6, C, D

Underactive thyroid is a problem for so many women, and in my clinical experience, more women have it as we get older. It’s often undiagnosed - or misdiagnosed.

Common signs and symptoms of a sluggish thyroid may include puffy eyes, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, fatigue, and hair loss, especially loss of the outer third of the eyebrow.

Is there a link between thyroid function and diet? There certainly is. The best-known fact, also acknowledged by conventional medicine, is that iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism, but not every kind of hypothyroidism benefits from iodine.

The thyroid gland also needs other nutrients like Selenium and Zinc. Both activate thyroid hormones, and zinc is also necessary to produce TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone).
Other Nutrients that support thyroid function are Iron, tyrosine, vitamin E, B2, B3, B6, C, and D.

Looking for weekend brunch Inspo? I’m obsessed with these buckwheat galettes lately..

Buckwheat is naturally gluten free & one of the few plant forms of complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. It’s naturally gluten-free, so easy on digestion.

Did you know is not actually a grain, but a fruit seed, related to rhubarb and sorrel?

Find recipe for this and lots of hormone loving brunch ideas on my site
