You're doing everything right: eating healthy, exercising, trying to stay consistent…

So why is the weight still creeping on—especially around your middle? 😩

Sometimes, it's not what you're not doing…
It's the small everyday habits you don't realise are working against you.

After 40, your body changes. What worked in your 30s doesn't work anymore. And those "healthy" habits you've been told to follow? Some of them are actually making it HARDER to lose weight during menopause.

👉 Swipe to discover 5 hidden habits that could be secretly sabotaging your weight loss efforts (and keeping you bloated, exhausted, and frustrated).

A small gesture for some incredible local teachers this World Teachers’ Day 🍎

Teachers are among the most dedicated professionals — guiding, supporting, and shaping the next generation every single day. Yet, they’re often the first to give and the last to care for themselves.

This simple box of apples was a heartfelt thank you and a gentle reminder to prioritise nourishment and wellbeing. Because when teachers thrive, so do our young minds.

Apples may look simple, but they’re packed with powerful plant compounds that work hard inside your body. 🍎

One key player is quercetin, a flavonoid, along with other natural plant chemicals. These compounds act like defenders, helping to reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Why does that matter?
Because when inflammation lingers, it can weaken your gut lining and give “bad” bacteria the upper hand.

By calming inflammation, apples support a stronger gut barrier and create a healthier environment for “good” bacteria to grow. Over time, this helps your microbiome find better balance — fewer harmful microbes, more of the beneficial ones that support digestion, immunity, and even mood.

So next time you reach for a snack, make it an apple. 🍏

Hear more about how I help my clients to feel like themselves again by following the link in my bio to listen to this podcast interview I did earlier this year with Metabolic Balance CEO Cherry Wills

Many of my clients discover that doing Metabolic Balance as a couple is one of the best decisions they make. When both partners are on the same page, it takes away the feeling of “going it alone” and creates a powerful level of support at home.

Sharing the same structure, gosls but their own unique foods means meals are easier, accountability is stronger, and results are more sustainable. I’ve seen couples not only lose weight and improve their energy but also build healthier habits that truly last.

When lifestyle change becomes a shared journey, the benefits go far beyond the dinner table.

✨ Should you really skip breakfast? ✨

In the world of wellness, advice on when (or whether) to eat breakfast can feel confusing. Some trends encourage fasting, while others remind us that food is fuel for energy, focus, and hormone balance.

A recent study in older adults found that delaying breakfast was linked to higher rates of illness and even mortality. But here’s the truth: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

In my latest blog post, I share:
🌿 What the research actually found
🌿 Why skipping meals may not support long-term health for many women in their 40s & 50s
🌿 How personalised nutrition can help you find the right rhythm for your metabolism and lifestyle

Your body is unique — and so is your ideal way of eating.
