Meet Chelsea...

Chelsea and her husband found themselves in an unhealthy cycle that they couldn't break BUT with my help they were able to LOSE OVER 2 stone combined in 12 weeks!!😲

"Doing a 12 week programme didn’t only transform our bodies, but also gave us the knowledge we needed to make life changes in our diet. Neither of us would ever look back and we couldn’t recommend Charmaine enough!"

It's been a pleasure working with Chelsea and her husband, and I'm so excited to see them flourish with a new knowledge of health and wellbeing 🧡

If you find yourself in difficult eating cycles, please get in touch. I'd love to support you through this and feel better in a matter of weeks!

I hate to say this but...

Long cardio isn’t the magic movement for weight loss!

In perimenopause, you body is shifting hormones so you NEED new stressors to spark fat loss + muscle tone!

That's why I LOVE:
🏋️ Heavy strength training
⚡ Sprint intervals + HIIT
🔥 Plyometrics

I'm not saying stop running, BUT if you want to change your body, then strength and power needs to be your new favourite training style!

It can be overwhelming when you first start, BUT you don't have to do it alone! I'm here to offer 1:1 support, guidance, advice, answer questions to get you the RESULTS you deserve 🧡

All work is done online so you can get started TODAY!

RECURRING UTI’S?….. stop using cranberry juice! ✨D-Mannose binds to the bacteria that cause most UTIs and helps flush them out — no sugar, no gimmicks, just science. 🌿💧
Research shows it’s often more effective than cranberry juice at preventing infections.

Ever wondered why, on a hot night, sticking one foot out from under the sheet instantly makes you feel cooler?
We have significant heat sinks in our palms and the soles of our feet. These areas have special blood flow patterns that allow the body to dump heat quickly.
When it’s warm, opening up those heat sinks helps cool us down. But when it’s cold, the opposite happens — your body constricts blood flow to your hands and feet to protect your core organs, keeping them warm.
During perimenopause and menopause, these heat regulation systems can go haywire. That’s one reason why hot flushes and night sweats feel so intense, your body is overreacting, shunting blood flow in and out of these heat sinks, and leaving you either burning hot or freezing cold.
Supporting your body through hydration, smart training, and stress management can help smooth out these responses — and make those restless nights a little easier.

Perimenopause Training 101
If you’re in perimenopause, your training can’t look the same as it used to.
Why? Because your CNS (central nervous system) needs a very specific kind of stimulus to keep you strong, lean, and energised.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
✅ 2–3 Heavy Strength Sessions each week → lift heavy enough to challenge your body.
✅ 2 Sprint Interval Training Sessions → 20–30 seconds at your absolute max (think 90–100% of heart rate).
✅ 1 HIIT Session → 1–4 minute efforts at 70–85% of heart rate.
This combo keeps your nervous system firing, your metabolism responsive, and your body adapting in the way it needs to during perimenopause.

✨ Collagen 101 ✨

Collagen holds your bones, cartilage, muscles + skin together. But from your 20s, production drops 1% a year...by 80 you’ve lost up to 75%!

Should you supplement it? Yes, but choose wisely.

✅ Collagen peptides + resistance training = stronger joints, less pain, better strength + body composition.

✅ Postmenopausal women may see bone density benefits

✅ Some studies show improved skin elasticity.

Not all collagen is equal:
Type II = joints
Types I + III = skin, tendons, ligaments
Hydrolysed = easiest to absorb

Bottom line: Collagen isn’t magic, but the right type + consistency (think 6 months) can be a powerful ally alongside nutrition + strength training.

PS. bonus points if you can name this spot?! 👀

Systemic inflammation - what it is and how to it effects your body!

This is your body's natural defence mechanism, where it sends immune cells to help heal injuries or fight infections. When this response happens all over the body, it's called systemic inflammation, and it can lead to symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, or even water retention.

This key contributors:

1. Hormonal Changes

2. Poor Blood Sugar Control

3. Gut imbalances

4. Alcohol and Ultra-Processed Foods

5. Sleep Disruption

6. Alcohol & ultra-processed foods

7. Nutrient Deficiencies

8. Environmental Toxins

9. Sedentary Behaviour

If you're struggling with any of these symptoms, send me a message for advice and guidance to get your body back on track! 🧡
