“Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?!”

Every woman I've chatted gut & va**nal health with asks “Why didn’t I know this before?”

This is why 'Midlife Moxi - from Knickers to Nibbles' is such a great workshop to attend.
No one ever explained that your va**nal health, hormones, and nutrition are all part of one powerful system.

At this fun, myth-busting workshop, Gail Rothstein and Paula Sharp reveal:
🌸 What your va**nal symptoms are really telling you
🥑 The hormone–gut–va**na triangle that controls everything from mood to moisture
💃 The midlife “nibble rhythm” to restore energy, balance, and confidence

No shame. No fads. Just science, laughter, and a lot of aha moments.

✨ You’ll walk away feeling informed, empowered — and comfortable in your body again.

But seats are limited — and they always fill fast.

It’s not “just hormones” — your va**na is trying to tell you something.

Here’s the truth no one tells midlife women:

That dryness, itching, or sudden drop in libido?
It’s not just “part of getting older.”

It’s your body sending a hormonal SOS — through one of the most powerful health barometers you have: your va**na.

But most of us have been trained to ignore her. We treat symptoms in isolation — the fatigue, the bloating, the mood swings — instead of looking at the beautiful connection between your va**nal microbiome, gut health, and hormones.

That’s why Gail Rothstein (menopause health expert) and Paula Sharp (nutrition and hormone specialist) have teamed up for one powerful workshop: “Knickers to Nibbles.”

Together, we’ll show you:
✨ Why va**nal changes reveal what’s happening with your hormones and gut
✨ The foods that nourish your va**nal microbiome (and which quietly sabotage it)
✨ How to restore hydration, balance, and confidence — naturally

Your body isn’t broken.
She’s communicating.
You just need to learn her language.

💗 Come join us for a refreshing, taboo-free chat that could change the way you feel in your body — and your knickers — forever.

Hosted in Whakatane.
Monday, 21 October.
6-8pm

Forget the gym. Forget the green juice. Let’s talk about your knickers. 👙
Yep, you read that right.

Your knickers are trying to tell you something about your hormones…
and your digestion… and why your body feels like it’s stuck in second gear.

But most women miss the signs.

Instead, we punish ourselves with “detoxes”, scroll Insta for the next fix, and wonder why our energy, sleep, and waistline are all arguing with each other.

What if I told you there’s a nibble-by-nibble way to reset your perimenopausal body — without restriction, guilt, or chasing your 20-year-old metabolism?

Gail Rothstein & I are running a workshop called “Knickers to Nibbles” — where we decode what your hormones are whispering (or screaming) through your body and your cravings.

You’ll leave knowing exactly:
- what your symptoms are trying to tell you
- which foods to ditch (and which to love again)
- and how to feel comfortable in your own skin — and your knickers — again

🩷 Seats are limited.

Let’s Rethink Nutrition Together

Nutrition is NOT about:
- strict diets
- calorie counting
- guilt

Nutrition IS about:
your hormones
your energy
long-term health

That’s the work I do with my clients at Paula Sharp Nutrition.

Whether it’s gut health, menopause, or healthy ageing — it’s about giving you the tools to feel like yourself again.

3 Things I Know About Women’s Health

Here’s what I know for sure:
1️. Your symptoms are messages, not annoyances.
2️. Food and lifestyle changes work best when they’re simple & sustainable.
3️. Thriving in midlife is about energy, joy, and confidence — not quick fixes.

That’s why my work blends nutrition + mindset + lifestyle strategies.
Together, they create powerful results.

💚 If this resonates, you’re in the right place, DM me about a Gut Health Assessment to get started.

Why I Started Paula Sharp Nutrition

This is me, 10 years ago ... I'm early 40s.

I was hearing from so many women in their 40s and 50s that their symptoms were “just part of getting older.”
Fatigue, bloating, hot flushes, brain fog, restless sleep … sound familiar?

But here’s the truth → normal doesn’t mean inevitable.

I created Paula Sharp Nutrition to help women:
🌿 Understand what their body is really telling them
🌿 Make small, practical nutrition & lifestyle changes
🌿 Feel energised, balanced, and confident again

Health should give you freedom, not restriction.

Leeks are part of the allium family, cousins to onions and garlic, but with a much milder, sweeter flavour. They grow tall and green, with the edible white stalk and tender pale leaves prized for soups, stews, and sautés.

Nutritionally, leeks are rich in vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, and antioxidants like kaempferol, which support heart health and help reduce inflammation. Their fibre content also nourishes the gut microbiome, making them a gentle but powerful ally for digestion.

Leeks are at their best in the cooler months. To prepare them, slice lengthways and rinse well to remove soil caught between the layers. Try adding them to hearty winter soups, frittatas, or simply braised with olive oil and herbs for a comforting side dish.

Next time you see fresh leeks at the market, bring some home — they’re a versatile way to boost flavour and nutrition on your plate.
