Waking at 2am… every night? 
It might not be “just stress” or bad luck.

A hidden trigger I see in clinic is overnight blood sugar dips.
When levels drop too low while you sleep, your body releases cortisol + adrenaline to bring them back up… which also wakes you up.

Hello 2am wide-awake brain.

This pattern is especially common in women 35+ dealing with:
• stubborn weight gain
• perimenopause changes
• afternoon energy crashes
• wired-but-tired nights

A few gentle things that can help:
✔ Protein + healthy fats with dinner
✔ Avoid going to bed on sugary snacks alone
✔ Magnesium glycinate to support deeper, calmer sleep

Broken sleep → higher cortisol → harder weight loss → more blood sugar swings.
It becomes a loop.

If you’re over 35, struggling with weight and broken sleep — it’s time to look at your hormones + metabolism, not just willpower.

Tag the friend you’re surviving perimenopause with:

We may not have stable hormones…
but we do have each other.
And honestly that’s enough most days. Have a fantastic week 🤩

If weight loss feels harder after 35, it’s not a lack of willpower — it’s physiology.

Perimenopause, thyroid shifts and insulin resistance all increase your protein needs.

Protein supports muscle, metabolism, blood sugar and hormones — which is why it’s a cornerstone in my work with women over 35.

Curious what your metabolism actually needs right now?

Stop trying to 'willpower' your way through a physiological problem.

After 35, super strict calories restriction doesn't just feel harder - it actually triggers and energy conserving state in your body.

When you underwater, your cortisol spikes, your thyroid slows, and your body prioritises survival over fat loss.

You don't need more discipline. You need a new strategy. Read my latest blog to find out why 'Repair' has to come before 'loss'

Stressed… but the scale won’t move?

It’s not willpower.
It’s cortisol + blood sugar.

Chronic stress keeps your body in store mode, not fat-burn mode —
causing poor sleep, energy crashes, sugar cravings and stubborn belly fat.

I had a few conversations about this with some clients this week. It was great to see them realise it wasn't lack of motivation or willpower, just their physiology had changed.

The fix isn’t eating less.
It’s calming your nervous system + stabilising blood sugar.
