• Adults in the UK are tired for an average of three hours a day.

• 43% say that some days they feel tired from the moment they get up to the moment they go to bed.

It’s not surprising when you consider that you’re sleeping less than previous generations and mostly not hitting the magic eight hours. You’re also running around at 100mph 24/7 so you don’t rest and you don’t switch off.

Humans are the only species that willingly delays sleep.

It’s easier to delay sleep when you have artificial lights and the TV as well as smartphones, laptops and tablets to keep you awake.

And because you work more hours than previous generations there’s an element of feeling like you don’t want to go to sleep just yet because you need some time to just relax once all the jobs are done.

But lack of sleep causes more problems than just feeling a bit tired the next day. In this week’s blog I’m talking about why sleep is important, the effects of lack of sleep and some of the solutions. Click here to read - https://preview.mailerlite.com/p4q4u5r4t2

Perimenopause and menopause weight loss is about eating differently not eating less

I hate diets – the word, the concept, the whole thing!

The way you’ve been taught to think of diets is something with a beginning and an end. And something where you have to deprive yourself and be hungry, but tell yourself that it’s okay because it’s short term.

What you really need is a lifestyle change. And lifestyle change isn’t about making changes you hate for the long term instead of the short term. It’s about making changes that you enjoy and will become part of your routine. That’s not to say that you can’t give yourself a boost to start yourself on a new path. You just need to know what you’re doing afterwards.

When you cut calories to lose weight you're cutting vitamins and minerals too.

And if perimenopause and menopause hormone changes are the reason for weight gain or difficulty losing weight then diets won’t work anyway. Not really, not in the long term.

Fatigue?
Poor memory?
Can't concentrate?
Digestive problems?
Not coping with stress as well?

These are all things you may experience in peri-menopause. BUT is it just the hormones?

They're all symptoms of B vitamin deficiency too.

And B vitamins are one of the things you're often lacking.

If you suspect you're low good food sources include lean meat and fish as well as wholegrains, nuts and seeds.

You may have headed into perimenopause and menopause already depleted of some of the nutrients you need.

You were already running on empty...

Potentially low in B vitamins or iron...

AND the hormonal shift knocks you for six.

BUT you accept it as normal because it's your normal and you just get on with it...

Sometimes for years...

It doesn't have to be like that and on my Perimenopause and Menopause Basics MasterClass next week I'll be sharing how to get the basics right so you have a firm foundation to build on.

It's free and you can join me on Tuesday 24th March 2026 at 18:00 for a free Perimenopause and Menopause Basics Masterclass – https://www.subscribepage.com/perimenopause-basics-masterclass.

When you sleep your body has the chance to rest and recover. Your physical body stops moving and repairs the damage from the day. Your digestive system has rhythmic motions that clear out any debris from the day that’s been left behind. Your brain processes what’s happened through the day so that information is filed and memories are formed and space is opened up for new information the next day.

When you sleep you’re physically and mentally re-energised and ready for the day.

And you literally need sleep to survive. You cannot live without sleep.

BUT the average adult in the UK gets less than 6.5 hours a night.

What can you do to prioritise your sleep tonight?

Eating well = more energy

You know that if you go to bed late, get up early or have disturbed sleep you will feel more tired. You may not have considered that a poor diet and yoyo dieting also link with low energy.

People who eat more processed foods, ready meals and take aways report lower energy than people who eat more wholefoods, fruit and veg. You could argue that it’s because you’re tired that you’re grabbing more processed foods and you’d be right – it is a vicious circle. But when people change to a diet with more protein, good fats, fruit and veg with lower sugar and processed foods energy increases.

Things don’t change overnight so start small. Look at how much fruit and veg you’re eating and up it by one portion a day. Or commit to one less ready meal or take away a week.

Since you’ve been perimenopausal you may get the odd period that leaves you feeling like you've been hit by a bus. Everything aches, your limbs are heavy and even your hands and wrists hurt when you hold a pen. It comes over like a wave and leaves in the same way.

Trying to carry on as normal and get stuff done when you feel like this is hard, yet most of the time you do. You feel like you have to carry on, you don't want to give in to it, you want to feel as capable and on it as you've always been.

BUT letting go is not giving up. It's listening to your body and giving it what it needs. It might be different to what you needed last month or last week and that's okay.

If you're perimenopausal, exercising four times a week and still gaining weight or struggling to lose it something else is going on.

Hormone fluctuations can contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.

Depriving yourself is not the answer here - you've already proved that calories in versus calories out isn't working.

Perimenopause and menopause weight loss is about eating differently – not eating less

When you diet for weight loss you cut calories but you also cut vitamins and minerals.

Up to 80% of women arrive at perimenopause and menopause deficient so cutting back on food isn’t helpful.

These deficiencies can make your experience worse.

The calories in versus calories out model isn’t the whole story and it doesn’t work as well in perimenopause and menopause.

You may have arrived at peri-menopause having been running at full speed for years.

Grabbing food on the go.

Putting others needs before your own.

Not sitting down until everything is done.

The result is that you're depleted before you get there:

Depleted in energy

And deficient in some vitamins and minerals

And this makes your peri-menopause experience worse.

My mission is to support clients to make simple dietary changes that improve energy, mood, stress resilience, hormone balance and day to day wellbeing. I provide individually tailored advice that is honest and well researched with no quick fix diets - just real food and simple consistent changes that allow clients to take back control and to move away from the typical Western diets that are ruining our health. I want my clients to know what to eat, when to eat it and why, without guilt or feelings of failure and that it is possible to feel better without it being hard and depriving themselves.
