When Shanie first contacted me she felt constantly hungry, was picking at her kids’ leftovers, and was unsure what to eat for strength and good health!

So we built a structure together to give her what she needed...

Shanie's plan included:
🧡Protein-filled, satisfying meals
🧡Family-friendly dinners that worked for everyone
🧡Simple, sustainable habits that stuck

Thanks to this, Shanie lost 23 pounds (more than 1 &1/2 stone) in 12 weeks with my unique, 12 week nutrition plan tailored to HER needs!🧡

Now she’s lighter, stronger, and FINALLY in control of her nutrition.

This is what real transformation looks like! Well done Shanie!

Why Women in Perimenopause Shouldn’t Fast 🚫🍽️

Perimenopause is already a hormonal rollercoaster, you have energy dips, poor sleep, and mood swings.

Add fasting into the mix? It often makes things worse.

When women skip meals or train fasted, we don’t burn more fat, we...
• move less without realising it
• crave more food later
• feel drained and wired at night
In perimenopause that = unstable blood sugar, hormone stress, and poor recovery.

What works better?👇
• Eat before you train
• Prioritise protein + smart carbs
• Keep blood sugar steady
• Make your body feel safe, not stressed

Your hormones don’t need more restriction, they need nourishment.

Fuel well, train strong, sleep deeply 💪❤️ Follow for more hormone-focussed nutrition and exercise

Do you ever feel like what used to work for your body just… doesn’t anymore?

I work with a lot of women in their late 30s–50s who feel like they are doing “all the right things"...they are eating less, moving more and trying to be consistent...

But hormones change the rules, especially during perimenopause 🤷‍♀️

It’s not about trying harder. It’s about training and fuelling smarter! 2026 isn’t about restriction - it’s about feeling strong, supported, and back in control of your body💪

Has anyone else noticed their body responding differently lately? If so, drop me a follow for more hormone-focused fitness, nutrition, exercise, and perimenopause support.

In October, I ran my first Free 6-day Hormone Reset.

It isn’t about perfection, it’s about giving midlife women the structure, clarity, and confidence they need to take back control of their energy, appetite, and routines.

Here are a few of the lovely reviews I've had from my reset...

After 6 days, my clients
✔️ had better appetite control
✔️ had more energy
✔️ felt stronger and more consistent
✔️ lost weight without restriction
✔️ understood what their body needed in midlife

This is what happens when you follow a plan built for your hormones, and that's exactly what I put together for 6 days in my Hormone Reset.

I'll be running another reset in February, so if you want to join in please follow my page and stay posted for dates😊

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!

✨ ONE OF MY BEST TOOLS TO IMPROVE MENOPAUSAL BODY COMPOSITION ✨
If you’re peri- or post-menopausal and feeling frustrated that the scales don’t reflect your effort, this is why 👇
At this stage of life, weight alone is outdated.
Hormones affect fat storage, muscle loss accelerates, bone health matters more than ever and the bathroom scales simply can’t show any of that.
An InBody scan gives you real insight into what’s happening inside your body, including:
✔️ Muscle mass – are you building, maintaining, or losing it?
✔️ Bone mass – vital information in and after menopause
✔️ Body fat levels, including visceral fat (the fat that affects health most)
✔️ Hydration & body balance
✔️ Estimated calories for weight maintenance – so you’re not under- or over-fueling
No judgement. No guesswork. Just clear, useful information.
🌱 This year is about understanding your body and working with it, not against it.
👉 Curious to see what your body composition really looks like?
Comment “INBODY” or send me a message and take control of your health in 2026.

Happy New Year to all my brilliant friends, family and clients🧡

A special highlight from my 2025:
Our November Hormone Reset was such a success! Seeing so many of you embrace this evidence-based approach to supporting your hormones through nutrition, movement, and lifestyle was absolutely incredible. The results you achieved reinforced everything we know about working WITH your body during perimenopause, not against it. I'm excited to announce we'll be running another Hormone Reset in 2026 - watch this space for details!

Thank you for trusting me with your health and fitness journeys. Thank you for asking questions, implementing feedback, and being willing to try new approaches. Thank you for being the amazing, strong, resilient women you are.

Here's to finishing 2025 strong and making 2026 even better!

With gratitude and warm wishes,
Charmaine

“Is it menopause… already?”

If you’re in your late 30s - early 50s and feeling off (symptoms like poor sleep, mood swings, stubborn weight, zero energy, workouts that used to work but don’t anymore), it’s not in your head.

Hormonal shifts can start 5–10 years before menopause.

And the old approach like more cardio, less food, and "push harder", is making things worse.

But, you CAN get your body, energy, and confidence back without meds, strict eating and more cardio.

If this sounds like you, follow my page for more tips and advice in peri/ menopause 🧡

Working with Ellen has been one of the greatest privileges of my career so far.

A midlife woman, a breast-cancer survivor, and someone navigating chemical menopause...and still, she showed up for herself with absolute commitment🧡

When she joined my 12-week programme, she told me she’d spent years trying to reach a healthy weight and had almost given up hope.

But she trusted the process...
✅ She followed the nutrition strategy
✅ She learned how to fuel her body without losing muscle
✅ She trained with purpose

And the result? Ellen lost 21 lbs of fat, preserved her muscle, and her body reshaped. Plus a renewed belief in what’s possible 🧡

Ellen didn’t just follow a plan…She rebuilt her strength, her confidence, and her relationship with her body after cancer.

Her review means the world to me because it reflects exactly what I want for every woman I work with:
✅ Evidence-based support
✅ Compassionate coaching
✅ A plan tailored to your hormones, lifestyle, and goals
✅ The knowledge and structure to finally feel in control again

If you’re a midlife woman navigating big hormonal shifts, whether that’s perimenopause, surgical menopause, or treatment-induced menopause, you CAN reshape your body. You just need the right strategy and support.

Ellen, thank you for trusting me. Your transformation is extraordinary, and you earned every bit of it ⭐️
