Menopause isn’t the end… it’s a new beginning.
But let’s be real—it doesn’t always feel that way.

Hot flushes, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, sleep struggles... it’s a lot.
You’re not imagining it.
And more importantly—you’re not alone. 💛

If you’re feeling lost in your own body, or like no one really gets what you’re going through, I see you. I’ve created the Pause+ Life Change program just for you — a space where we focus on:

✨ Managing menopause symptoms naturally
✨ Supporting your mental health
✨ Moving your body in ways that feel GOOD
✨ Finding confidence again – inside and out

This is not a “just push through it” program.
It’s about understanding what your body needs right now and giving it exactly that.

You’ve supported everyone else for years.
Now it’s your turn. 💖

🔥 Menopause & Belly Fat – What’s REALLY Happening? 🔥

Feeling like your midsection has taken on a life of its own? You're not alone! Many women notice weight shifting to the belly during menopause, and no, it's not just your imagination.

Here’s what’s happening:
🔹 Hormonal Changes – Lower estrogen can lead to increased fat storage around the abdomen.
🔹 Metabolism Slowdown – Your body naturally burns fewer calories as you age.
🔹 Stress & Cortisol – Increased stress can lead to higher cortisol levels, which encourages belly fat storage.

💡 The good news? You CAN take control! 💡
✅ Strength training helps rev up metabolism
✅ Balanced nutrition stabilizes blood sugar & hormones
✅ Stress management (hello, yoga & deep breathing!) reduces cortisol

Menopause doesn’t mean you have to accept unwanted changes—let’s take charge together! 💪💕

The Impact of Diet and Exercise on Menopause Management

Diet and exercise are essential components in managing the symptoms of menopause. Maintaining a well-balanced diet alongside regular physical activity supports overall health and helps alleviate the hormonal fluctuations and related symptoms experienced during this time.

Women can effectively prepare for menopause during the early perimenopausal stage. Gearing up for menopause entails forming healthy habits. Integrating strength training into your fitness routine is particularly beneficial for preserving bone health and muscle mass, especially as estrogen levels decline.

Furthermore, adopting a whole food-centric diet while reducing the intake of processed foods and alcohol can significantly enhance wellbeing during this transitional period.

Alcohol is detrimental during perimenopause—it disrupts sleep patterns, affects body composition, contributes to mood swings, and triggers hot flashes—there's nothing positive about alcohol during this stage.

To better educate and empower yourself in handling peri menopause, menopause and post menopause, get in touch with Lizelle at Pause+ LifeChange and see if this proven program is right for you!

🌼✨ Why Nutrition Matters During Menopause with Pause+ ✨🌼

As we embrace the journey of menopause, nutrition becomes a powerful ally in navigating this transformative time! At Pause+, we believe that what you eat plays a crucial role in how you feel—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here’s why focusing on nutrition can make all the difference:

Easing Symptoms: Many women experience uncomfortable symptoms during menopause, from hot flashes to mood swings. A well-balanced diet rich in whole foods can help alleviate these issues and promote overall wellness.

Supporting Bone Health: With menopause comes a decrease in estrogen, impacting bone density. Foods high in calcium and vitamin D, like leafy greens and fortified options, can help keep your bones strong and healthy.

Heart Health Matters: As hormonal changes affect our heart health, maintaining a heart-healthy diet becomes essential. Think omega-3s, whole grains, and colourful fruits and vegetables to support your cardiovascular system.

Weight Management: Menopause can influence metabolism, leading to unwanted weight gain. Nourishing your body with nutrient-dense foods while staying active is key to maintaining a healthy weight and feeling your best.

Boosting Mental Clarity: Don’t let brain fog hold you back! Foods rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins can support cognitive function and keep your mind sharp during this transition.

When you sign up for the Pause+ LifeChange you will be gaining access to personalised nutrition advice, resources, and support to help you thrive during menopause. Let’s make healthy choices together! 🌟

🌙✨ Tips for Menopause from Pause+ LifeChange Timaru: Reduce Screen Time Before Bed! ✨🌙

Hello, amazing women of Timaru! As we journey through menopause, it's important to prioritize our well-being, and one way to do that is by focusing on our sleep quality. 💤

Did you know that reducing screen time before bed can significantly improve your sleep? Here are a few tips to help you unwind and get the restful night you deserve:

Set a Screen Curfew : Aim to put down your devices at least an hour before bedtime. This allows your mind to transition away from the day's stresses and signals your body that it's time to relax.

Embrace Tech-Free Activities : Swap your screen time for soothing rituals—read a book, listen to calming music, or practice relaxation techniques like meditation or gentle stretching.

Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment : Dim the lights and make your bedroom a cozy retreat. Consider using light-blocking curtains and keeping your space cool to enhance sleep quality.

Mind Your Evening Routine : Instead of scrolling, opt for activities that promote tranquility. Journaling about your day or practicing deep breathing can do wonders for your mind.

Remember, prioritising your sleep can make a world of difference during menopause. Let’s support each other on this journey to better health! Share your tips for winding down at night below! 💖

🌙💤 Navigating Menopause: The Importance of Sleep 💤🌙

Hey everyone! As many of us know, menopause is a natural part of life, but it can bring along some challenges—especially when it comes to sleep. 😴🔥

During this time, hormonal changes can lead to night sweats, mood swings, and insomnia, making quality sleep harder to come by. However, prioritising sleep is essential for our overall well-being. It can improve our mood, boost energy levels, and support our body's ability to cope with the changes we’re experiencing.

Here are a few tips to help ensure you get that restorative rest during menopause:

💤Create a Relaxing Routine : Wind down with calming activities like reading or gentle yoga before bed.

💤Keep Your Bedroom Cool : A cooler room can help alleviate those pesky night sweats.

💤Limit Caffeine and Alcohol : Both can interfere with sleep quality.

💤Try to reduce intake, especially in the late afternoon and evening.

💤Stay Active : Regular exercise can help improve sleep patterns, just remember to finish workouts a few hours before bedtime.

💤Talk It Out : Sharing experiences with others going through menopause can be comforting and helpful!

Remember, sleep is not a luxury; it’s a necessity! Need one-on-one support with a menopause coach? PM Me. 💖
