So I understand that EVERYTHING costs at the moment but I also understand that for women in perimenopause, the right help can be a welcome retreat in a body that feels very out of sync.

So I created a list of the best 'bang for buck" and quality supplements that are available over the counter in NZ.

Not sure which supplements you actually need? In a world of very premium price tags, form matters more than the label on the bottle.

For the active woman navigating perimenopause, "wellness" shouldn't feel like another task on your to-do list. It should feel like a strategic advantage.

I've cut through the noise to bring you The Perimenopause Supplement Guide—a curated, honest look at the OTC options worth your investment right here in New Zealand.

The M. Deats Standard of Clarity (as a nutritional scientist)

Form over Brand: Why Magnesium Glycinate outperforms Oxide for your nervous system and sleep.

Activated Support: The critical difference between standard B-vitamins and activated, methylated forms.

Data-First: Why I almost always recommend blood work before starting Iron or Vitamin D

If you would like the guide - Comment or message and I will send you the link.

These are my honest and realistic list of the best supplements you can take for perimenopause.

4 Simple things I did this week for my wellbeing

Bought myself some comfy loungewear (that I found in my brand colours yay)

Bought a new plant child (ok 2)

Journaled each night and expressed gratitude for all I have and the lessons ive learned in life and the ones ahead

Walked in nature as much as possible while recovering from some random unwelcome pathogen

Oh and also ate a whole Lindt Easter bunny - started with "just the ears" but soon the entire thing was gone and I regret nothing ha!

Currently listening to some Jazz, my fave genre of music. Contemplating whether I will be able to see my family in Zurich and they "uncancel" my flight

Hope you had or are having a great blessed Easter break ♡

Most people view health as the absence of disease.

As a nutrition scientist, I view it as the presence of peak function.

​Your body is your only lifelong home, and the blueprint for that home is written in your blood. When I look at my own labs, I don’t settle for 'within range'—I aim for optimal. Because when your baselines are sharp, your mind is sharper and you can achieve more.

​My programs are not about guesswork, it’s about using hard data to give your body exactly what it needs to stay strong for the long haul.

Health is the only wealth that pays dividends forever.

This is how I serve my clients who work with me.

Every effort you put
into staying healthy is
a gift to yourself and
your loved ones.

Regular cycles vs. Perimenopause. We know it, we feel it, but seeing it laid out like this hits different, doesn't it? 🫠 it explains beautifully the feeling inside, for me anyway!

​On the right, we have the 'classic rhythm.' Sure, there are ups and downs, but it's like a predictable dance. The left? Well, that's the perimenopause punk-rock cover LOL

​All those spikes and dives, elevated FSH knocking at the door, estrogen having a bit of an unpredictable moment (always) that's not just data. It’s the brain fog, the sleepless nights, the rage, the blank stares, the why did i come into this room and the 'did I really just cry over a commercial?' energy.

​This graph makes the feeling visible. It's a powerful reminder of why we need to talk about what's actually going on, without the stigma or the hype.

If this hits a bit too close to home, know that you're not the only one navigating this Rollercoaster and it wont be forever (although that's not exactly comforting when youre in it 😅)

I wouldn't normally share this sort of information publicly but I wanted to just highlight how absolutely warped the narrative can be.

I dont subscribe to 30 years of debt

I do subscribe to making money and building wealth over 30 years

I do subscribe to fluidity and living life on my own terms wherever I want to be

I dont overcomplicate money or investments.

I dont even check them often.

Im in it for the long haul and the fruits are looking absolutely delicious already

Dont be deceived by outdated ways of thinking and living

There is more to life than that
