🚨 The Menopause Metabolic Storm 🚨
When hormones shift, so does your metabolism — but it’s not broken, it’s changing.

As oestrogen declines, your body naturally loses muscle, becomes more insulin-resistant, and starts to store more fat around the middle. It’s not about willpower — it’s about biology.

🌿 The good news? You can calm the storm.
Here’s how to start rebalancing your metabolism in midlife:
1️⃣ Aim for 30 g protein per meal to protect muscle and boost energy.
2️⃣ Include 25–30 g fibre per day to stabilise blood sugar and support gut health.
3️⃣ Eat 30 + different plants each week to feed a diverse microbiome.
4️⃣ Move with purpose — strength training 3× weekly builds your metabolic resilience.

Menopause isn’t the end of your metabolism — it’s your invitation to rebuild it differently. 💚

✨ Save this post to revisit when you need a reminder that your body isn’t failing — it’s adapting.

Menopause & Immunity: The Missing Link

🚨 Breaking News in Menopause & Immunity 🚨
We already know menopause reshapes our bones, brain, heart, and metabolism… but new science shows it also rewires our immune system.

That means your body’s defence network—the one protecting you from infections, inflammation, and chronic disease—changes right along with your hormones.

🧬 As oestrogen declines, it doesn’t just affect hot flushes or mood. It also shifts how your immune cells communicate, which can make inflammation more likely and recovery slower.

But here’s the empowering truth 👇
You can retrain your body’s defences through what you eat, how you move, and how you rest.

🌿 3 Gutsy ways to support your immune system in midlife:
1️⃣ Focus on high-quality protein, fibre and healthy fats at every meal (supports hormone metabolism, stabilises blood sugar, and enhances immune resilience, antibody production and muscle repair).
2️⃣ Load your plate with colourful plants — fibre and phytonutrients reduce inflammation and feed your gut microbes.
3️⃣ Prioritise sleep and stress balance — your immune cells respond to cortisol swings more than you think.

🧩 Your immune system isn’t “failing” — it’s adapting.
And when you learn how to fuel that adaptation, you turn midlife into your strongest chapter yet.
