…and that’s having a purpose.

Research shows that people who feel connected to a sense of meaning have lower inflammation, better heart health, and even a reduced risk of cognitive decline (PMID: 34405718).

Purpose doesn’t have to be big or world-changing. It can be something simple — tending your garden, learning a new skill, caring for a pet, or showing up for someone you love.

It’s that quiet sense of why that keeps your brain active, your body resilient, and your days fulfilling.

So tell me — what gives your life purpose right now?

If your cycle feels different - shorter, heavier, missing altogether - blood tests can help make sense of what’s happening.

Here are 3 blood tests worth considering:

1. FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Rises in perimenopause as the ovaries become less responsive. A better marker than one-off oestrogen or progesterone, which can fluctuate daily.
2. Iron studies: Heavy periods can deplete iron stores, leaving you fatigued and foggy.
3. Thyroid Panel: Because thyroid issues mimic perimenopause symptoms, it’s important to check.

Keep in mind: these numbers only make sense when viewed alongside your symptoms & give us so much more value when analysed against optimal ranges.

Start a cycle + symptom journal now so you can connect the dots when results come back.

PS - did you know that we can privately order blood tests for you if needed?

What a fantastic day at celebrating all things birth & community connection.

It was lovely to meet with lots of families, as well as women who passionately support and empower other women through pregnancy & birth.

I'm already looking forward to next year's community gathering!

Something I never thought I’d say as a nutritionist… it’s not all about food.”

Yes, nutrition matters. Nutrients matter. They play a huge role in how your body makes and uses energy. But when it comes to perimenopause fatigue, food is just one piece of the puzzle.

Hormones, mitochondria, stress, sleep, medications, nutrient absorption — they all feed into why you might be running on empty. And that’s why the answer isn’t always as simple as eating “better” or grabbing another coffee.

✨ I’ve unpacked the bigger picture (and the evidence) in our latest blog: Elevate Your Energy Naturally in Perimenopause.

Women are told far too often that being exhausted in midlife is “just part of the deal.”
And honestly? That messaging does more harm than good.

Here’s the truth: perimenopause fatigue has layers. Hormones, mitochondria, nutrients, stress — they’re all in the mix. Which is why another coffee isn’t the fix.

✨ 5 evidence-based ways to boost energy:
1. Balance blood sugar with protein at every meal
2. Stay hydrated (quality electrolytes matter!)
3. Support mitochondria with magnesium + B vitamins
4. Eat Mediterranean style — colourful, nutrient-dense, proven for midlife women
5. Test, don’t guess: iron, B12, vitamin D, magnesium, CoQ10

Because sometimes the reason you’re tired isn’t obvious — but once you uncover it, the path forward becomes clear.

Heavy bleeding in perimenopause is common — often linked to the natural drop in progesterone.
But here’s the thing: common doesn’t always mean something you should just put up with.

Flooding, clots, or cycles that leave you wiped out aren’t simply “part of the deal.” While these changes are often hormonally driven and expected in perimenopause, they can also lead to iron deficiency, fatigue, and other issues that deserve attention.

This is where nutrition can make a real difference — from supporting iron stores to balancing blood sugar and helping your body cope with shifting hormones.

👉 If heavy cycles are leaving you drained, a discovery call is the best place to see how nutrition could support you.

Your period is one of the best insights into your health.
And here’s the truth: it will change in midlife. Shorter cycles, heavier bleeds, or missed periods are all part of the perimenopause transition, and they can give us important clues about what your hormones are doing.

👉 Instead of brushing it off, start tracking your cycle. The patterns you notice now can help you understand your body, support your energy, and take proactive steps in this next stage of life.
