Why we need enough protein in perimenopause:

Protein is used to make muscles, and oestrogen plays a role in maintaining our lean muscle mass. Decline of oestrogen in perimenopause makes it easier to lose our muscles over time.

That is why getting enough protein is important.

Try to include protein throughout the day, with a mix from both plant and animal sources.

Good sources of protein include eggs, lean red meat, fish, chicken, dairy foods, beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu and nuts.

Why protein matters:
- Supports muscle maintenance for strength, balance and everyday function
- Helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, which supports appetite regulation
- Supports metabolism as our muscle burn energy even at rest

Try to include a source of protein at each main meal:
- Breakfast: Greek yoghurt, milk, eggs, cottage cheese or nut butter
- Lunch: Tinned tuna, boiled egg, grated cheese, mixed beans or chickpeas added to salad
- Dinner: Chicken or beef strips and nuts in a stir-fry, or parmesan, lean mince and lentils to pasta sauce.

A simple place to start is by asking: where could I add a little more protein in my day?

Try one small change this week and build from there.

You’ve got this ❤️

Small Change, Big Impact: Add more fibre to your day

If you feel hungry soon after meals, struggle with cravings, or digestive issues like constipation… adding a little more fibre can help.

Fibre is the part of a plant we cannot fully digest. Good sources include fruit, vegetables, wholegrain, nuts and seeds.

Why fibre matters:
- Helps you feel fuller for longer
- Supports your gut health
- Steadies your blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day
- Reduces unhealthy cholesterol levels improving heart health
- Keeps you regular

Easy ways to boost fibre:
- Choose oats, high fibre cereal or wholegrain toast at breakfast
- Add chia seeds or ground linseeds to yoghurt
- Choose fruit (keep the skin on for extra fibre) for snacks
- Add canned chickpeas, lentils or beans to your salad, soup, pasta sauce or curry
- Swap white rice or pasta with brown rice, wholegrain pasta or quinoa
- Aim for vegetables to make up half your meal at dinner
- And remember to drink plenty of water when increasing fibre in your diet.

Think add, not overhaul.

You want to increase fibre intake gradually. Pick one day this week to add a fibre boost to a meal and build from there.

Is it perimenopause, or is it just me?

If you are eating the same as always, but your body feels different – it’s not a lack of willpower.

Hormone changes in perimenopause (especially declining oestrogen) can affect appetite, energy, sleep, mood and body composition – and increase the risk of muscle and bone loss over time.

And because this stage of life is often already so busy and demanding, trying to change everything at once just adds more stress…

So, these are my top 3 things to start with to protect your long-term health in perimenopause:

1. Have protein at each main meal when you can (protect muscle and help manage appetite).

2. Eat more calcium rich foods (to maintain bone health). Adding a dairy based snack like yoghurt can be a quick win as this is an excellent source of protein AND calcium.

3. Regular strength training is one of the best things you can do to support bone and muscle growth. Exercise also boosts metabolism, energy, mood and sleep so it can really help minimise the distressing symptoms of perimenopause. You don’t need fancy equipment - body weight exercises like squats, lunges, wall push ups, glute bridges and plank count.

I know how stressful life is - start small, such as adding protein to one meal a week, to build your confidence with making changes. It’s not about perfection, some days you just won’t feel like it and that’s ok.

I’ll break all these (and more tips) down in detail in future posts,

You’ve got this ❤️

Small change, big impact:
add protein at breakfast

If you’ve been feeling hungry mid-morning, low on energy, or like you’re always reaching for a snack to keep going…adding a little more protein to your breakfast can help.

Eating protein at breakfast has been shown to significantly change how we experience hunger throughout the day.

Why it matters:
• Helps you feel fuller for longer
• Maintain your energy levels
• Supports muscle maintenance

Easy protein to add to your breakfast:
• Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese
• Eggs (any style)
• Nut butter or smashed beans on toast
• Milk or soy milk
• Leftovers — yes, they count

Think add, not overhaul.

Pick one day this week to try a higher protein breakfast and see if it makes a difference to how you feel and your appetite throughout the day.
