How are the dark evenings impacting your routine ?

With these dark evenings it's so lovely to cosy up beside the fire and tv.

But I find this can lead to old habits creeping in like snacking, staying up late watching netflix and not getting that exercise in. (This has happened to me a few nights recently, that 15 sec countdown between episodes kills me!)

I find November can be a month with two options-
📌to take action and get things done
or say
📌I'll do it in January.

Which option do you take ?

So my question to you is why wait till January ? If your not feeling yourself right now whether its poor energy, broken sleep, bloated or weight gain, why wait to become a better version of yourself ?

Recently with my clients in programs I have seen energy improve, motivation change, cravings disappear, hot flushes stop.

We are now discussing how to manage the christmas parties and get togethers that are coming up over the next few weeks.

I love when I hear my clients talk about
⚡️how their mindset has changed about food
⚡️how they are not counting calories but watching their marcos like protein, fat and carbohydrate ⚡️noticing the satiety value from these foods when they get the balance right for them.

I have a few more spaces left for new clients to start this month.
Would you like one ?

🥳 Happy World menopause Day 2025!

You may not be at this stage yet but all women will be at some point.

If you are perimenopausal or in menopause -What’s in your toolkit ?

5 key areas for your toolkit right now:

💤Making sleep a priority! No more skimping and catching up at the weekend. This is your stress reset button, you need to press this every night!

🩺GP- Is it time for a check up ? And I don’t mean your hormones which can be hard to test accurately especially in perimenopause. I mean the basics, vitamins D, Iron, B12 , cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Thyroid function. Plan it today if it’s been a while.

🥦 Power up your plate at each meal with more veg and more protein. We need at least 1.5g of protein per Kg of ideal body weight. That could be 100g per day.
Eggs, meat, fish, beans, lentils, nuts, yoghurt are all excellent protein sources.

💪 Exercise- our body and mind needs it right now ! Think strength training to maintain muscle mass. Or simply building in some hills to your walks or on the thread mill.

🗣️ Get support ! Friends or family, it’s time to connect with others.

Talk to your friends or sisters today about it and ask what’s in their toolkit ?

Get in touch for a free 20 min chat about your symptoms.

Lovely evening on Wednesday night of good food, health and wellness with margaretskitchen_ie

The topic was Future Proofing your Life with every day diet.

At 40yrs plus, hormones shift, muscle mass declines, bone density drops, metabolism slows.

Nutrition becomes the lever that you can control daily and does influence our future health.

The Nutrition Pillars for Our Future Health that we discussed:

Making Protein Your Best Friend

✅Muscle = longevity currency.
✅Target: 1–1.5 g/kg bodyweight daily.
✅Spread across meals (25–30g/meal).
✅Sources: eggs, Greek yogurt, fish, poultry, tofu, lentils, beans, seeds.

Fiber as Medicine

⚡️Gut health drives inflammation, immunity, mood.
⚡️Target: 25–30g/day.
⚡️Sources: veg, berries, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds.
💚Simple hack: half your plate veg at lunch + dinner.

Smart Fats for Brain + Hormones

📌Omega-3s = anti-inflammatory + brain protective.
📌Weekly target: 2–3 servings oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel) or
flax/chia/walnuts.
📌Olive oil over processed seed oils.

Lots of lovely food and tips to take away.

How is September looking for you?

This week I planned out the month with a client who is a teacher back to secondary school.
She got her timetable and it’s a full week with some busy evenings too.

🍳We discussed breakfast, a few options to have ready.

🍗High protein lunches as she has seen the benefit of it over the summer.

🏋️‍♀️An exercise routine that will fit in with her busy days, some online at home and some outdoors.
As she is perimenopausal weight bearing exercises are part of her sept plan to build strength and muscle to support the hormonal changes.

🥩We discussed iron sources and a supplement as her last test results were on the low end of the range.

🥬To ease some low oestrogen perimenopausal symptoms we discussed magnesium and omegas 3 and 7.

September is the big month of the year for change.

Whether you have kids in school or not its a big month of change.

Habits, activities, season, energy all changes in September.

We don’t always like change but planning for it makes it easier.

Let me help you map out your September and ease you into the autumn with my free health review.

Daily simple habits matter !

That small 1% change every day becomes a big change when it happens every day.

Last week my clients were focusing on the small things and they have seen big changes.

Small things like
✔️more water
✔️more veg in their day
✔️replacing phone in evening with a book
✔️planned times of meals
✔️getting up earlier
✔️having breakfast later

This has resulted in more energy, clarity, less bloating and weight loss too !

What small change do you need to make to get started ?
