DO NOT SETTLE!

Do not settle for fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, uncomfortable body composition and a missing piece of YOU!

There are lots of lifestyle changes you can make, along with the right types of exercise and nutrition to combat this and become an even BETTER version of you after 40!

As an almost 49 year old Evidence-Based Nutritionist and Strength Coach in the throes of Perimenopause herself, I’ve done my research so you don’t have to.

I get it, I am doing it and it works!

Ladies, leading a fitness lifestyle is the BEST thing you can do to combat the changes perimenopause throws at you! 👟 🏋🏼‍♀️

This does not mean you need to become a gym ju**ie- it means that you show up consistently week after week, year after year to
on-going to exercise that you enjoy.

✅My best advice would be resistance training 2-3 times a week along with some sort of cardio exercise that challenges you each time you do it.

Research shows us that women who embrace a fitness lifestyle have better outcomes through the perimenopause transition into menopause and beyond

Start small, build on it over time. You won’t ever regret it. 🙏

STRESS IN PERI

💣 Stress can feel really amplified in perimenopause, in fact after 40, something begins to shift.
Tolerance lowers and you can feel easily aggravated🤯- as progesterone is the first hormone to make less of an appearance month to month. 📉

Why?
We may ovulate every month which means progesterone doesn’t get produced.
Progesterone is the hormone that helps us feel calm and helps us sleep. 😴

So it’s not YOU behaving like a crazy witch 🧙 it’s the lack of progesterone, along with life’s amplified responsibilities after 40.

So what can you do to help alleviate some of that stress:
🔺exercise and movement
🔺nutritious diet
🔺good sleep routine
🔺practicing daily gratitude
🔺declutter and create a calm space for yourself
🔺laughter, the real gut wrenching type
🔺spend time in nature
🔺schedule in rest
🔺set boundaries and say no to things that do not align with you
🔺social media detox

Only you can protect your mental and physical health.
Controlling stress is one of the first big steps you can take to improve your quality of life in perimenopause. 🙏

When you share the Peri journey with your friends. 😂
We NEED to share- to talk more about it and to feel okay to not be okay with it.

Depending on your journey (it’s a very individual one!) it can be very hard mentally, emotionally and physically some days.

The more we can be open about it, the less isolating it will feel and perhaps we can start to see that it’s not US!
It’s our poor brain 🧠 and system trying to rewire to fluctuating and declining hormones. It can be a real storm ⛈️ some days.

Let’s be the generation to make this conversation NORMAL! 🙏

DAY TWO PERIMENOPAUSE WORKSHOP!

Wow, what 🙀 a great day we had.

Day two covered:
👉🏼Exercise for mid-life. The resistance training and cardio that works, how to do it, and how to implement it.
👉🏼Mental health and Anxiety. Understanding that you’re not crazy! Your brain is trying to rewire and cope with lower and fluctuating hormone levels.
👉🏼Supplements, the evidence-based ones! You certainly don’t need many, and most of the crap marketed to women in this era prays on their desperation.
👉🏼Menopause Hormone Therapy. The journey into this is an individual choice. But it’s good to be informed and educated after a generation of women were left without it as a choice- due to a bungled study in 2002 that created fear and stigma.

Our guest speaker 🔈Marieke Miller gave a hugely inspiring talk about strength training for women.
Her choice to lift weights saved her life and created a future where there are no physical limitations!
Our new mantra:

MUSCLE = FREEDOM

Thank you to the wonderful ladies ♥️ that entrusted me on their journey to become empowered through peri/menopause. It is as chance to step up and lead an even better life through health and choice.

LIFE AFTER 40 is certainly different. 🤪

Responsibilities might be similar, but your body doesn’t cope with the pressure like it used to. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Kids, teens, aging parents, career, relationships and debt are all compounded when your body and mind starts hitting a wall. 😢

Declining and fluctuating 📉 levels of hormones leave you feeling chaotic, while a changing body composition challenges your confidence and health.

Your energy gets zapped, your sleep ain’t good, your moods (think rage and crying spells) take on a new meaning, and you lose part of that younger you.

Take charge!! ❌Don’t allow this new era to be something you suffer through.

When you address:
✔️Sleep
✔️Stress
✔️Nutrition
✔️Exercise and movement
✔️Supplements (evidence-based ones, not the hoo ha ones designed to pray on your low esteem)
You can and will feel back in control with a new level of appreciation for your amazing body. 🙏

Check out my workshop here, designed to address all of this with SCIENCE-BACKED SOLUTIONS!!

FAT LOSS 101…

💪 Are You an Active Woman in Perimenopause or Menopause

Here’s what you need to know to improve body composition and manage symptoms.

✔️Eat for Recovery, Not Restriction!

Fasted training, calorie restriction, and low-protein diets can backfire, leading to heightened cravings, poor sleep, impaired metabolism and poor recovery.
At this stage of life, you need adequate protein and carbohydrates, especially post‑workout.

Fuelling after exercise helps:

Support recovery
Replenish glycogen
Optimise brain and hormone health

✔️NEXT: Address Iron Levels!

So many women in this phase have low iron, which worsens fatigue and intensifies peri/menopausal symptoms.

Low iron = metabolic slowdown + exhaustion.

Monitor your levels and supplement if/when needed to stay energised and resilient.

✔️LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST: Prioritise Sleep

Poor sleep drives cravings and overeating. And during fat loss, you’ll lose more muscle than fat if sleep is compromised.
Get your sleep right first, and everything else will follow.

PERI/MENOPAUSE WORKSHOP DAY ONE!

What a wonderful group of women who attended. We shared our stories, our experiences, our ‘ peri turmoil’ - there were lots of tears 😭 and then we regrouped to take action!

Yes, the transition to menopause is chaotic and overwhelming at times- especially when life is at its peak of responsibility- but there are many things we can do to reclaim our body & mind. ♥️

Day one covered:
👉🏼SLEEP
👉🏼STRESS MANAGEMENT & BOUNDARIES
👉🏼NUTRITION & MEAL PLANNING

PLUS an amazing guest appearance from Kylie Rankin who covered
👉🏼THE MUSCULAR SKELETAL SYNDROME OF MENOPAUSE & THE GENITOURINARY SYNDROME OF MENOPAUSE two key issues that most women aren’t aware of.
Especially GSM and the therapies available to massively improve your quality of life!

We will regroup in three weeks for Day 2 where we will cover EXERCISE & RESISTANCE TRAINING, SUPPLEMENTS and MENOPAUSE HORMONE THERAPY.
With another exciting guest speaker! 🔈

I am exhausted but so happy to have completed my first workshop of many.
12 months in the making- born from my own experiences of perimenopause.
I want to build an environment where quality, evidence-based education is readily accessible. This is not an era of your life to just suffer through!🙅🏼‍♀️

We can reclaim our body with good lifestyle routines and enjoy and thrive and feel radiant after 40!

Special thanks to my wing-woman Ellen Garratt helped me run this event on her birthday!

Today I read that many mid-life women spend the last 20% of their life in the worst health and feel their worst… 😢
This is happening at an age when they should really be revelling in life experience, wisdom and a sense of freedom. 🤦🏼‍♀️

FAT GAIN, INFLAMMATION AND PERI/MENOPAUSE.

Perimenopause and post menopause- the reckoning! 🫣
👉🏼For some, it’s a train wreck experience.
👉🏼For some it’s a walk in the park.
👉🏼For most it’s challenging, frustrating and exhausting.

The declining hormones create heightened inflammation and a change in the fat storage area- to the abdomen, as dangerous visceral fat.
Both are damaging to our metabolic health, hence why many women are at their worst health wise, along with feeling their worst.

‼️You do not have to accept this. It’s not a case of suffering through it. 🙅🏼‍♀️

You have the choice to change some lifestyle habits, create some new ones, to seek help from up-to-date evidence-based doctors- all so you can feel good again and reclaim your health!

You don’t have to do it all at once.
Start small.

We deserve to feel our best! 🫶🏻

Day to day you don’t know who you’re going to be 🤯😡😭😃 plus the brain fog, body changes and hot flushes.

▶️BODY COMPOSITION CHANGES

All of these done right will remarkably improve your health and symptoms AND set you up to age gracefully throughout the years.
