We were told to fear fat....and well thr fall out speaks for itself!
The low-fat era reshaped our entire food system and our health paid the price.

I honestly can’t believe we’re already at this point of the year.
If you’d like to squeeze in a session before Christmas, I have a few appointments still available.

Most women don’t realise how much one bad night of sleep can throw everything out, your cravings, your energy, your mood and even your weight. So, what's happening when you sleep is all over the place for extended periods of time?

When you don’t sleep well, your insulin sensitivity can drop by 20–30% the next day.
Which basically means your body wakes up like,
“Ok… here we go again.” 😴

And here comes the sugar cravings, afternoon slump, feeling puffy, bloated, irritated and generally not yourself, a very familiar pattern for women in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

Sleep is one of the main things I ask every client about because it affects every hormonal pathway - cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones, appetite regulation, inflammation, the lot.
So if sleep has been average and your weight feels stuck, this is usually part of the picture long before we even touch your diet. 😩

It’s one of the most important things to tackle, because when sleep improves, almost everything else becomes easier such as blood sugar, cravings, energy, mood and weight included.

A couple of quick takeaways:
• If you’re sleeping poorly, your hormones will react.
• Weight can stall even when your food is “fine."
• Bloating, cravings and afternoon fatigue aren’t random.
• Fixing sleep often moves the needle more than changing your entire diet.

It’s helpful to know there are multiple factors affecting weight, sleep included. And if you want some clarity around your own picture, reach out.

Weight gain hasn’t skyrocketed because people suddenly “gave up” on their health.
It’s because our entire food and hormonal landscape has shifted in a way the human body was never actually designed for.

Here’s what most people don’t realise:

1. Obesity has tripled in one generation!
Today, around 2.5 billion adults are overweight and almost 890 million are living with obesity.
Human biology didn’t change, our environment did. 📈

2. The low-fat era reshaped our diets.
When fat was removed, it was replaced with sugar, refined starches, gums and emulsifiers.
Foods like low-fat yoghurt, muesli bars, Up & Go, low-fat snacks and “99% fat-free” products spiked insulin, increased hunger and encouraged constant snacking.
Smart business move, I suppose 🤔

3. Ultra-processed foods dominate everyday eating.
Over 55% of food purchased in Australia is ultra-processed.
In the U.S., 54–62% of daily calories now come from UPFs.
These foods disrupt gut health, interfere with hunger hormones and make it extremely easy to overeat, therefore leading to weight gain and numerous health conditions. 🍟

4. Most people eat 6–10 times per day without realising it.
Coffee with milk, a muesli bar, a handful of crackers, kids’ leftovers, a yoghurt, a café treat every small bite still spikes insulin and stops fat-burning. ☕️

5. Modern stress, poor sleep and shifting hormones make appetite and metabolism harder to regulate.
Higher cortisol, disrupted sleep, reduced insulin sensitivity and perimenopause all shift how the body stores fat and responds to food. 🌙

When you put all of this together, refined carbs, UPFs, constant snacking, chronic stress, disrupted sleep and hormonal changes, our metabolism is operating in a completely different world compared to 40 years ago.

It is extremely important to look at weight gain, and the struggles to lose weight, from a holistic approach.
The whole “eat less, move more” concept often does not work.
It’s about understanding what’s really driving weight changes so you can finally make decisions that work for your own body! 💛

You’re not imagining it.
The mood swings, the energy dips, the “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

It’s easy to blame stress, work, or even your cycle, but sometimes, it’s your hormones shifting gears.
Perimenopause isn’t a switch that flicks overnight. It’s a gradual transition that can start up to 10 years before your periods stop, and it can mimic a lot of other things like thyroid changes, gut inflammation, or blood sugar imbalance.

If you’ve been told your bloods are “normal” but you still don’t feel right… there’s more to explore.

💊 That handful of supplements might just be expensive p*e!

Yep, I said it. Not all supplements work and taking the wrong ones (or the right ones at the wrong time) can mean you’re literally flushing money away. I explain this to all my clients!

If you’re not feeling a difference, it’s time to sort out what’s worth keeping and ditch the rest.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated with weight gain, low energy, or like your body just isn’t yours anymore, you’re not alone, and your body isn’t failing you.

It’s likely reacting to stress, hormones, blood sugar shifts, or just trying to keep you safe.
It’s not about pushing harder or punishing your body, it’s about understanding what it needs and supporting it properly.
This is the kind of work I do with clients every week, and honestly, the shifts can be huge once we start working with the body, not against it.
