Menopause Mondays!

A lot of clients reach out to me because they want help with weight. But very quickly, we realize it’s not a weight problem, it’s a whole-system stress, sleep, hormone, and lifestyle problem that’s showing up on the scale.

In perimenopause and post menopause, your body is already more sensitive to stress, and chronic stress changes how your body:
• stores fat
• handles sugar
• breaks down muscle
• sleeps
• manages hunger

So it's not just about food or exercise; it's often about how overloaded your system feels.

Before you count calories or add more workouts, try asking yourself: what’s stressing me right now? Work, sleep, social media comparisons, overcommitting, people-pleasing, etc. If you start by easing the biggest stressor before adding anything else to your plate, you might be surprised how much more manageable everything else starts to feel.

I used to wake up and go straight for coffee and emails/work, stacking my natural cortisol awakening response (CAR) with a stress-driven rise. This can be a recipe for disaster and I often noticed crazy blood sugar swings with mid-morning and mid-afternoon energy crashes. Creating a supportive routine and allowing my natural cortisol rise to occur unamplified helped me feel calmer, energized and way less at the mercy of my hormones by 10am.

Try it tomorrow, light, water, food before coffee and screens, see what your hormones say and let me know!

Food Fridays! This is the second post I’ve done on sugar cravings because this is one of the biggest things my clients struggle with when trying to improve their nutrition habits.

Understanding why sugar cravings happen is just as important as understanding how to curb them.

They’re often not a lack of willpower or discipline. They are more driven by your brain, blood sugar, stress hormones, sleep, and habits. In perimenopause and menopause, those signals get louder due to hormone fluctuations.

You can quiet cravings down by eating in a blood sugar–supportive way (protein, fibre, healthy fats, not grazing, not eating carbs solo) and by calming your nervous system (sleep, hydration, stress support practices).

When those pieces are in place, especially balanced blood sugar, cravings stop feeling so intense and easier to manage.

If sugar cravings feel like a constant battle, you may just need a different approach. Send me a message if you'd like a free guide detailing some approaches for reducing your cravings.

Workout Wednesday!

Your workouts might be stressing your body. I know mine were and I struggled for years with low energy, mood swings and stubborn belly fat.

Since doing all my coursework, I have learned that I was doing:

- too much long cardio
- not enough strength training
- too many high-intensity workouts
- not enough daily movement outside my workouts
- skipping rest & recovery
...and this was zapping my energy and making my body hold onto fat instead of releasing it, especially in perimenopause.

I learned that feeling healthy and achieving a healthy weight isn’t about doing more; it’s about training smarter, recovering better, and being strategic about how much and what type of stress I place on my body.

Strength. Intervals. Stretching. Walking. Rest. Rinse. Repeat. That’s my formula for success. What's yours?

I hear this often and thought it was a good idea to share. The same can be applied to lifestyle modifications like changes in diet or exercise. What works for one woman may not work for another. We are all unique and our journey to our goals will feel supportive, encouraging and easier when personalized. It's a marathon my friends so just take it one step at a time.

Stumped on what to post today! Missed Mindset/Menopause Mondays since I was busy with clients and now I am struggling to figure out what to share lol!

Thanks for the input for Food Fridays! I already have a sugar craving post in the hopper.

Anyone have a question about lifestyle habits, menopause symptoms or an area they need support with?

Food Friday!

What's an area of your nutrition that you're trying to improve? Let me know and I'd be happy to share some helpful tips in future posts.

Here's a few pics of what I'm eating these days. Simple, high protein, high fibre meals + snacks that keep me full and nourished.
