Last week we spoke about menopause, most of us ladies will experience it at some point.

But what if you’re part of the population that because of a medical issue, perhaps cancer related, hormone related or otherwise, you experience menopause or menopause-like symptoms way earlier than you were ever expecting?

It impacts quality of life, often suddenly, in a way we can’t do much preparation for and it’s a super overlooked gap in healthcare in general with many healthcare professionals, not through lack of caring, but simply through lack of knowing how, fail to support the women it impacts.

Fertility is the big one, but what about the longer-term health implications if not managed well or the symptoms if we don’t talk about management of those too? ✌🏼🌻🖤

Mindful nutrition practices are important at EVERY level of the game.

Recreational physical activity or big performance goals – if FEELING good is important to you then nutrition is number one. ✌🏼🌻🖤

Social media algorithms are rubbish these days – you might see my posts that I slave away over in a bid to keep up my little business which I ADORE, helping wonderful people feel their fabulous selves again alongside my Cancer Rehab Specialist role which I also absolutely LOVE… or you might just get another video of a disgustingly cute golden retriever puppy litter eating their breakfast (no judgement here - I love them)

But if you would like my infinite wisdom direct to your inbox every week which I also just love writing (are we getting the theme here? I have turned into one of those annoying people that just loves waking up in a morning excited to work on what the day brings!!) where we talk about:

🥦 Making nutrition simple, tasty and busting all the myths you see on those social media videos!
🏃‍♀️ Finding and working on exercise you don’t hate.
🧠 Mindset shifts that make our healthy habits last.

…then pop me your email address either here in the comments or in a direct message and we’ll get you on the list. You know you want to.

Then you can continue to watch puppies to your heart’s content ✌🏼🌻🖤

Ladies – let’s talk menopause because all of us that are born with functioning ovaries will experience menopause, there’s no use dreading it, trying to put it off or wallowing in our own self-pity. It’s happening, so let’s embrace it, let’s try and use it to empower ourselves into a new and exciting phase of our strong lady lives and let’s use some evidence-based tactics to tackle it head on and feel as fabulous as we can through it all.

We can and will adapt our lifestyle habits to put us in the most optimal position possible to feel fabulous into our menopausal years. It isn’t just movement and nutrition either – it’s mindset, sleep practices, practical day to day tips, stress management and many, many more.

We all scroll through health advice online and feel like we’re drowning in do this, don’t do that, carbs are evil, carbs are fine and DEFINITELY don’t step out the front door in the morning because you’ll definitely put on 10 kilos instantly 🙃

That’s one of the reasons why I do what I do.

So, if you would like to know a little more about how my little side hustle (that has been around enhancing my life and the lives of others for many years now!) works, find out how others have benefitted from the work we do together and get in touch about having a FREE call together about how it could work for you – then I’d love it if you had a peek at my website here: www.annalouisecoaching.co.uk

I also love to write and you’ll find many blogs over there about my latest musings.
Ready to feel more energised, confident, and in control of your health? Me too!!

Let me know once you’ve had a browse! ✌🏼🌻🖤

To continue our theme this weekend, lastly remember the less energy you
spend on others’ opinions, the more energy you have for health, joy, and fulfilment of your own.

THROWBACK to the last ultra over a year ago now 🤯

We’re getting close 🤩

I was making a plan for my week next week and it looks BIG being in the thick of a couple of athletic events and many life things and I’m EXCITED!

Had a bit more of a think about pacing too and how to approach this and it’s all becoming very real.

My biggest challenges aren’t necessarily the distance but the starting after stopping, fuelling well and keeping warm! Lots of changes out of cold, sweaty kit I think will be the order of the day!

Anyway, I can’t wait to spend a day with the girls raising money for a wonderful cause.

We appreciate your support so far so much - even the tiniest of donations helps no end.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ✌🏼🌻🖤

We’ve been chatting about worrying about what others’ think when we begin to make healthier choices within our lifestyles this week.
DO YOU - Say “yes” when you want to say “no”? Compare your body, habits, or lifestyle with others’? Avoid healthy choices because of fear of judgment? Relying on external validation for feelings of self-worth?

What can we do about it?

Well the first thing I ask myself is ‘does this decision align with what my values for myself are or with someone else’s expectations? Am I simply trying to fit the mould or do I really want this?’ ✌🏼🌻🖤

I had a chat last week with a lovely client about worrying what others think about the way that they choose to live their lives.

This time it was a different context but something I see a lot is people feeling like they need to ‘fit in’ with others and therefore choose the less optimal option for themselves so that they don’t rock the boat!

Worrying about others’ opinions often holds us back from living in alignment with our own health, values, and goals. It’s human to care what people think — but we can practice caring less and choose the opinions that matter.

Our brains evolved to seek want to ‘belong’ to the tribe, so seeking approval is normal, social media comparison can amplify this but remember that caring excessively about others’ opinions drains energy we could use to care for ourselves and our own goals!

Watch this space for the remainder of the week where we will continue this chat, but for now, remember, people only put you down for making healthy choices for yourself because the majority of the time they are worried that you’re overtaking them and they don’t have the will to do the same!
