After years of hearing women’s stories, the pattern is impossible to ignore and it’s time we talk about it honestly.

Before January.

1. There's a subtle message that you are only worthy of praise, love and celebration when you achieve weight loss, which implies you’re not worthy of those things unless you do. This breeds self-criticism and a “not good enough” narrative that spills straight into chaotic, unsatisfying food behaviours.

2. The rules create gamification, and yes, that novelty can feel motivating at first. But over time it builds a loud diet voice, anxiety and fear of getting things “wrong,” and a relationship with food that feels anything but nourishing.

3. And let’s be honest… if this was a genuinely sustainable approach, people would attend once, not for decades. What I see is women returning year after year, with the net result being more weight gain and more shame. That’s not a personal failing. That’s a flaw in the model.

There are success stories, of course. But for every one, there’s someone feeling utterly broken by diet culture believing they're the problem.

Do you relate to this? Hear for your thoughts ✨

Weight loss injections divide opinion, but at the end of the day it's about an individual's journey with her own body.

Only you know your own story, lived experience and reasons for taking them.

What doesn't change however is the nourishment our bodies are worthy of, both in terms of the foods we choose to put in us, or the view we have of ourselves and our worthiness to be in this world.

Everyone, irrespective of size or the varying degrees of what's being labelled as a 'success' with these medications has a need to look after their

🔥Metabolism
💪Muscles
💚Mindset

What worries me is so much of the noise seems to be keeping them locked firmly in diet culture's grip, which is making it difficult for people to access the support to protect those 3 things and feel happy, healthy and strong long-term.

I'm hoping to help with that. Stay tuned.

Feeling that the stuff you really enjoy isn't doing you any good? Overwhelmed with counting your ferments, clocking up your protein and measuring out your creatine?

I worry in all the menopause nutrition noise, we've lost a space for balance, nuance and dare I say common sense.

Which is why it was so therapeutic to hash this all out with .nutritionist on her Midlife Feast Podcast out today. How do we find our happy middle? How do we know what enough looks like? And what is that one thing thing that keeps us all searching for more answers. 🤔

A useful convo to tune into... Check out my stories for the link. And would love to hear your thoughts on this, or milkyways... Surely I can't be the only one. 😉

Naps divide opinion but for me 20 minutes, when I need it, changes my day.

In the clients I chat too, it's often not the nap itself that's the issue, it's the anxieties about the meaning of that nap that stop it from happening.

Perhaps it feels so forbidden because we've been taught rest is a sign of laziness?

Perhaps we feel a bit sh*tty about things we can't control, namely our body weight, that we channel our energies into proving our worth elsewhere and become a victim of our own productivity?

In reality well timed naps can help us to eat more nourishing ways, but if they feel a bit forbidden for you, I'd encourage you to explore why that is. 💗💚😴

And don't forget for space to figure what nourishing habits work best for you, my email community is a cosy place to do that.

I send a newsletter once a week. If you'd like to receive it comment NOURISH below and I'll send you a link 👇💚

Happy napping!

Weight gain through menopause is a mix of biology and lived experience, colliding with a world of diet and wellness noise where motivators and pressures easily get tangled.

Weight loss isn’t a behaviour. Sometimes it supports health, sometimes it doesn’t. A woman’s relationship with her weight and wellbeing is deeply personal and no one else can know that story. Diet culture rarely gives a damn about what’s underneath. But that doesn’t take away from how you feel.

It’s hard to give proper space to our own story when opinions about weight loss injections are so polarising. Are they really solving the right ‘problem’? Or have we been taught to see the problem through a distorted lens?

Yes, injections can quieten food noise — and for many, that’s a huge relief. Some of us have always felt like the food switch is permanently “on”. But food noise isn’t just biological. Years of dieting do that. Unmet emotional needs do that. Stress and poor sleep do that too. Those parts still need attention.

Not eating as much can feel like progress when food has long been seen as the enemy. Seeing your body respond can feel satisfying. But the line between good nutrition and not enough is finer than you think. Meeting your body’s needs isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

Weight loss injections might make you thinner, maybe even happier, but let’s not get swept up in the euphoria of that. Thinness doesn’t fix everything. What if this could be your reset instead — a chance to anchor into nourishment, calm, and a healthier mindset beyond the jab?

If you’re wondering what food looks like on the other side of weight loss injections, or you just want to feel more at peace with food and your body — come join my email community.
It’s a non-judgey, cosy space for grounded, real-world support around food, hormones, health and happiness.

Why are they always in the way of us trusting our bodies and feeling better ABOUT them and IN them. If dieting truly truly worked you would only need to do it once.

You are not the problem!

There’s so much confusion about sugar and non-sugar sweeteners — are they safe, do they affect our health, should we be avoiding them altogether?

In Episode 8: Truth vs. Myth: Nutrition Edition of The Sweet Taste of Balance podcast with , I share what the research actually tells us. Non-sugar sweeteners are approved as safe by all leading health authorities, including EFSA, the FDA and WHO, and most of us consume well below the already generous safety limits. They don’t raise blood glucose or insulin levels, and they can be a helpful tool for people who want to manage their sugar intake, without giving up taste.

As you know I'm all about the bigger picture; it’s not about good or bad ingredients, it’s about balance, flexibility and enjoying food in a way that works for you.

Midlife nutrition really can feel like a pain in the 🍑.

Between hormones, headlines and a hundred “shoulds”, it’s easy to lose sight of what actually matters.

So many of our food decisions seem to be coming from a place of fear these days, not one of calm perspective.

Carbs, proteins, fats and fibres have been hanging out in our diets for centuries. They don't need to be manipulated, totted up and controlled. They need space to work in harmony for your body and needs.

I’ve created a free guide to help you kick ass with your midlife nutrition, steer clear of extremes and stay sane in the process.

No diets. No guilt. Just calm, grounded guidance that works in real life.
