Balanced nutrition, targeted support, and consistency make a difference.
Your body can repair — when given the right environment. 🌱

Perimenopausal weight gain can feel like it happens overnight… even when nothing has changed. 😫

That’s because perimenopause affects so much more than your cycle:

• ✨ Reduced insulin sensitivity (hello mid-section gain)
• ✨ Slower liver clearance + hormone metabolism
• ✨ Metabolic dysregulation
• ✨ Thyroid function shifts
• ✨ Changes in the gut microbiome
• ✨ Neurological effects (sleep, appetite, motivation)
• ✨ Mood + cognitive influences

If your body feels different, it’s not in your head — it’s biochemistry.

Support the whole system, and you can feel like you again. 💛

DM me for support navigating these changes. diane@floraliawellness.com.au

The road to healthy weight isn’t easy.
Life can get in the way.
Confusion about what is actually healthy can lead to overthinking or backfire.
When busily out and about, most food available is high calorie, high fat and ultra processed.
It can seem impossible to achieve weight loss goals with so much against you.
It’s not just about food choices, mindset plays the biggest part and I love to help clients with this.
DM if you’d like to know more.

Getting close! Staying the course! My client is feeling happy about it, enjoying the process and good habits are being consolidated.

Chipping away at getting to healthy weight is the way to go.
The best food choices and portion sizes become second nature.
Feeling good is also a great motivator.

💪Regular exercise is a non negotiable for good health on all levels however it shouldn’t be done with gritted teeth and feeling exhausted before you’ve begun.
💪Is it time to incorporate exercise into your life and you’re struggling to maintain it or get started?
💪There can be many reasons and I get it.
👍Book a Discovery Call with me and we can talk about how I can help you.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
A protein rich breakfast is the way to go. Intermittent fasting can work well but often backfires.
What works best for you? I can help you find out.

A big dose of protein in the morning (25–40 grams) can make a huge difference to mood, energy, and satiety.

There are lots of ways to get there: eggs, yoghurt, cheese, protein powder, or leftover chicken, fish, or meat. (My personal favourite is chicken soup.)

As yummy as chia pudding is, it’s not a protein breakfast on its own. A standard serve of chia seeds gives only about 5 grams of protein.

You can bump that up slightly with almond milk (+1 g) or nuts (+3–5 g), or make it genuinely high-protein by adding protein powder. But in that case, the protein is from the powder, not the chia seeds.

And just a quick ps: there’s essentially no protein in coconut milk or coconut yoghurt. 🥥

Gorgeous client from over 20 years ago reached out for assistance to lose weight after Fatty Liver diagnosis. This client was doing a combination of keto and intermittent fasting without success, this scenario was VERY frustrating for her but it’s something I often see We started my plan and she hadn’t looked back and feels so good!

Weight can dramatically increase during perimenopause. This wonderful client was struggling for ages, exercising regularly and hardly eating yet retaining an unhealthy weight. With guidelines and support a text message away and regular check ins we have broken the back of the vicious cycle.
