Do I really have to exercise??

Navigating through menopause can be a challenging journey, but incorporating regular exercise into your routine can significantly ease the transition and support your future self.

And heres why…

Because the right types of exercise can help mitigate some of the most common symptoms of menopause, such as mood swings, weight gain, and sleep disturbances and brain fog.

But it's not just about any exercise; it's about finding the right fit for your body's changing needs and variety is the best approach,

Strength Training

Building muscle helps counteract the loss of bone density and muscle mass. It also boosts your metabolism, helping manage weight more effectively. Building muscle is really important as we age to support your body’s structure and improves balance.

Cardiovascular Activities

Activities like walking, cycling, or swimming can improve heart health, which is particularly important as the risk of heart disease increases after menopause. burns fat, reduces stress and releases serotonin - your happy hormone.

Yoga and Pilates

These practices are excellent for flexibility, balance, and core strength. They also offer the added benefit of stress reduction, helping to alleviate anxiety and improve sleep quality.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

For those who are able, HIIT can be incredibly effective in short bursts, improving insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health, without putting too much strain on the body.

Remember, the goal is to stay active and listen to your body.

Exercise during menopause should be about nurturing yourself, reducing symptoms, and improving your quality of life.

Start with activities you enjoy and gradually incorporate a variety to cover all aspects of fitness: strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance.

Your body will thank you.

In a world where quick fixes and fad diets are everywhere, there's one simple truth that stands the test of time:

Eat Real Food & Feel Energised.

Choosing whole, unprocessed foods isn't just about nourishing your body; it's about arming your day with the energy you need to thrive.

From the crunch of fresh vegetables to the richness of whole grains, real foods provide the nutrients essential for vitality and well-being.

But beware, not all foods that seem healthy are free from ultra-processing.

Foods like flavoured yogurts, instant oatmeal packets, and even some types of granola bars can be loaded with added sugars and preservatives, masquerading as healthy choices.

It's these sneaky ultra-processed foods that we often overlook, thinking we're making healthy choices when, in fact, we're not.

Let's make a commitment to ourselves to choose foods that fuel our bodies and minds, creating a cycle of energy and health that uplifts every aspect of our lives.

Join me in embracing the power of real food, and let's feel energised together, while being mindful of the hidden processed foods in our diets.

Ever wonder why that latest diet trend feels more like a straitjacket than a path to wellness?

It's not just you;

It's the clash between one-size-fits-all diets and the unique tapestry of our lives.

Add the relentless pressure of business deadlines, stress-induced snacking, and the 24/7 on-the-go lifestyle, and it's no wonder our dietary plans often crumble like a cookie underfoot.

The truth is, stress from our professional lives doesn't just keep us up at night; it sneaks into our kitchens, influencing our food choices, making convenience king, and often sidelining nutrition.

The result?

A cycle of dieting that feels like a battle, not a balanced way of living.

But what if we flipped the script?

Imagine a nutrition plan that flexes with your life, acknowledges the boardroom battles, and still champions your health.

It's about creating harmony between your career ambitions and your wellness goals, not choosing one over the other.

Are you looking for a sustainable approach to nutrition that understands the executive hustle?

Because when your diet works with your lifestyle, not against it, sticking to it becomes second nature.

Is your skin as supple as it once was?

Maybe you're noticing a difference in how your body manages weight, or you're experiencing aches that weren't there before.

These symptoms can be distressing signals from your body, indicating changes in Estrogen levels, a powerhouse hormone with far-reaching effects.

Estrogen is a key player in our well-being, from reproductive health to the vitality of our skin and bones. It shapes our metabolism, influences our moods, and even supports brain health.

When estrogen levels fluctuate, it can throw our systems off balance.

Understanding estrogen's role is crucial, as its ebbs and flows can leave us feeling forgetful, moody, tired, sore, and achy – far from our best selves.

If this strikes a chord with you, know there are ways to navigate these changes.

If you're ready to learn more and take control of your hormonal health, let's connect and uncover how you can thrive through these transitions.

Do you know what burnout looks like?

Burnout creeps in silently, often masquerading as just another rough week.

But when the fatigue doesn't lift, enthusiasm dims, and even small tasks feel like running on a treadmill, it's time to heed the warning.

Key signs include: -

Persistent Exhaustion - Not just physical, but emotional and mental tiredness that isn't alleviated by rest.

Cynicism and Detachment - A growing sense of disillusionment with your job, colleagues, or the impact of your work.

Feelings of Ineffectiveness - The belief that your efforts are meaningless or that you're failing to achieve desired outcomes.

Does this sound like you?

Steps we can take to Walk Back to Balance:

Prioritise and Delegate - Assess your workload and identify what's truly critical. Delegate tasks that others can handle, freeing up space to focus on what matters most.

Set Boundaries - Establish clear work-life boundaries.

Decide on work hours and stick to them- It's crucial to disconnect and recharge

Find Your Reset - Identify activities that rejuvenate you. It could be a hobby, exercise, or simply spending time with loved ones.

Make these non-negotiable parts of your schedule.

Seek Support - Whether it's talking to a mentor, joining a support group, or seeking professional help, external perspectives can provide valuable strategies and reassurance.

Reflect and Realign -Take time to reflect on your goals and values.

Are you on the path you want to be? If not, consider what changes could realign your work with your aspirations.

Burnout isn't a badge of honour; it's a sign that something needs to change.

So take some time to relax and rejuvenate.

The state of your GUT can play a leading role in your mood and mental health.

It's true!

Our gut is not just about digestion; it's a complex ecosystem that significantly influences our emotions and well-being.

This connection is all thanks to our microbiome, the community of trillions of bacteria residing in our digestive system.

Research has illuminated the profound link between our gut health and mental health, including mood swings and depression.

It turns out, a healthy, balanced microbiome can be a powerful ally in maintaining not just physical health, but mental and emotional resilience as well.

When our microbiome is out of balance, it can send distress signals to our brain, contributing to feelings of depression and anxiety.

This is because approximately 90% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for making us feel happy and balanced, is produced in the gut.

So, it's not just about what we eat that affects our waistline; it's about how it impacts our mood and mental state.

Embracing a diet rich in probiotics, prebiotics, and a variety of whole foods plus reducing the ultra-processed foods can nurture a healthy gut microbiome, potentially offering a natural buffer against mood disorders and depression.

It's a compelling reminder that taking care of our gut is taking care of our overall happiness and well-being.

Remember, a happy gut is a happy you!

Do you ever feel like your body's suddenly turned into a rebellious teenager, refusing to listen to anything you say?

You might be a little insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to weight gain, especially as we age.

It's like trying to communicate in a language your body has decided it no longer understands.

Insulin resistance means your cells are turning a cold shoulder to insulin's attempts to es**rt glucose inside for energy.

The result?

Your body insists on storing more fat, particularly around the midsection.

It's frustrating!!

So how do we fix it?

It's not as hard as you think, to find out more on how to reverse the insulin resistance and get your body back working in the way it should-comment ME below.

Do you ever feel…..TODAY'S MY DAY!

You tell yourself 'I'm going to the gym today” and then an hour later, you feel like your body didn't get the memo.

Instead of feeling like a superhero, you feel more like a sloth after a Netflix marathon.

Hormonal imbalances, especially as we navigate through different life stages, can zap our energy levels, making exercise feel like climbing Everest.

But here's the thing: starting slow and steady can actually help coax your energy levels back, so if this is you?

Try walking, or even stretching, try a much shorter workout - 7 minutes. All these can be the gateway to more vigorous exercise.

It's about listening to your body and respecting its limits.

Remember the compound effect!!
