Feeling guilty after the weekend?
Eat too many easter eggs and feeling crap today?
Out running the roads today to punish yourself?
Skipping meals today to make yourself feel better?
Doing a 10000000 burpees because someone told you you need to burn off all the chocolate?

JUST STOP
PLEASE STOP

This is NOT helpful.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUNISH YOURSELF FOR EATING NICE FOOD!

Reset
Move on

Get off your ass today and go for a walk.
Drink some water.
Eat fruit.
Stop beating yourself up!

Lent starts tomorrow!

For many in Ireland, Lent is a time when we give up something for 40 days, usually food items.

And usually food items we love but believe to be 'bad' or 'unhealthy'.

This can create a very unhealthly relationship with food.

This Lent, STOP the restriction and START adding to our health.

Improve nutrition.

Improve fitness

Improve mental health.

Improve ourselves WITHOUT the punishment and penance that has been drilled into us for years.

Are you with me?

If you need help with anything related to nutrition or fitness, drop me a message with the words "Yes Please".

The July Heatwave! Just glorious!

Finding it too hot to eat I'm sure

If you can, aim to include a protein source with every meal and snack.

Protein is an essential part of our daily nutrition.
Without it, our body won't function.
It's also important in weight loss, keeping us fuller for longer.

Swipe for ideas on how to include it despite the heat.

Other Ideas:
- Salads with tuna, chicken, beans, falafels
- Iced protein coffee
- Yogurt Sorbets
- Beef Jerky
- Edamame

"Everyone comes into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime”.

I believe it's the same with a book.

I adore "What I know for sure".

It has helped me overcome some difficult times over the past few months.

You don't have to read it all at once.
You can dip in and out.
Leave it in a place where others can see it too.

Thank you

Do you know the effects of our hormones?

• • • • • •
The most effective way to treat symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause is to replace the hormones that your body is no longer producing.

Taking HRT also has health benefits as those who take it have a lower future risk of developing conditions including heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, depression and dementia in the future.

Estrogen can be given to your body either as a patch, gel, spray, or as a tablet that you swallow. The type of estrogen mostly used is 17 beta-estradiol, which has the same molecular structure as the estrogen you produce in your body and is termed 'body identical'. It is derived from the yam root vegetable.

Progestogen should be taken if you still have a uterus alongside estrogen. The safest type of replacement progestogen is called micronised progesterone; this is body identical and it comes in a capsule that you swallow, occasionally this progesterone can also be used vaginally. An alternative way to receive a progestogen is to have the Mirena coil inserted into your uterus. This is also a very effective contraceptive and it needs replacing after five years.

If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog and lack of libido, testosterone can be beneficial (in addition to the estrogen) to bring about further improvements of these particular symptoms. It is available in a gel, cream or implant and while it is not currently licensed as a treatment for women in the UK, it is widely and safely used by menopause specialist doctors and some GPs.

These hormone posters have been designed for the use of healthcare professionals within the healthcare community to showcase the importance of the hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone before and during the perimenopause and menopause.
