Comment CALM for my free Calm Your Perimenopause Mood Swings guide.

Mood swings, bursts of rage or random crying spells in your 40s aren’t just “your age.” Most women think they’re being emotional, but it’s usually progesterone dipping, cortisol spikes and blood sugar ups and downs.

Supporting your body makes a real difference. Protein at breakfast steadies blood sugar, magnesium and B vitamins help your nervous system, slow-burning carbs and healthy fats keep energy stable, and fibre supports your gut, where much of your mood chemistry is made.

When these foundations are in place, mood swings soften and you feel more grounded.

Comment BREAKFAST for my free high-protein breakfast recipes.

If you’re tired of raiding the Quality Streets or the kitchen cupboards every afternoon, breakfast is usually the hidden trigger.

When the morning starts with beige carbs, your blood sugar spikes, crashes… and suddenly you’re at the cupboard at 3pm wondering how you got there. It’s not about willpower. It’s about blood sugar and hormones doing what they do.

A protein-rich breakfast steadies things out, keeps cravings calmer and stops that mid-afternoon hunt for something sweet. Eggs, Greek or coconut yoghurt, smoked salmon or a high-protein smoothie work even on busy mornings.

If cravings and energy crashes keep creeping in, start with your first meal.

If your tummy is controlling your afternoons, this one’s for you.

I’m Lisa, a gut and hormone nutritionist, and I help women finally understand what their gut and hormones are trying to tell them, so you can feel comfortable, energised and confident again.

Bloating, running to the loo at work, unpredictable digestion, these aren’t just “annoying habits,” they’re signals your body is giving you. Cutting out everything, ignoring symptoms, eating the same “safe” meals, blasting probiotics without a plan, or comparing yourself to others? That’s usually what makes bloating worse.

Your gut thrives on nourishment, variety, and personalised support, not restriction or copy-paste fixes. More colours, fibres, and diversity in your meals can make a real difference, and yes, you can still enjoy your food without the afternoon bloat.

Follow along for simple gut tips, realistic food swaps, and advice that actually helps digestion and hormones.

And if that 5pm bloat is your daily enemy, I’ve put together the first steps to actually fix it. Comment BLOAT and I’ll send it straight to you.

I don’t think enough women realise that the reason they turn into a gremlin at 3pm is the same reason they’re craving everything in sight and snapping at everyone. It’s not “lack of willpower”, it’s your blood sugar crashing and your hormones trying to keep up.

When your energy dips, your cravings spike. When your cravings spike, your mood tanks. And by the afternoon you feel like you could inhale half the kitchen and still be hungry. This is one of the most common patterns I see with women struggling with energy, irritability, cravings and hormone symptoms.

A couple of simple shifts make a huge difference. A protein-rich breakfast steadies your blood sugar so you don’t spiral later. Adding fibre and healthy fats keeps you fuller for longer and stops the 3pm crash. Small changes that support your hormones, mood and appetite without restriction.

If you want a quick guide that shows you exactly how to stop the afternoon crash and feel more balanced, comment GREMLIN and I’ll send it over

You know that “uh oh” feeling… scratchy throat, foggy head, zero energy?
That’s your body waving the slow down flag and it’s time to listen.

When you feel a cold coming on, don’t push through with coffee and willpower.
Your immune system’s working overtime, and your gut (where 70% of it actually lives) needs some gentle support, not another caffeine hit or salad on the go.

Start with warmth, fluids and comfort.
Cold smoothies and iced coffees? Not today.
Think soups, stews and mugs that steam up your glasses.

Here’s how to eat your way through day one of a cold 👇

🥣 Breakfast: Go for porridge made with oat milk, topped with grated apple, cinnamon and honey. Easy to digest, comforting and gives steady energy instead of a crash.

🍲 Lunch: Chicken or lentil soup with garlic, ginger and turmeric, immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory and kind to your gut.

🍛 Dinner: A one-pan stew or curry with root veg, chickpeas and bone broth. Grounding, nourishing, and saves you faffing about when all you want is your sofa and a blanket.

🍋 Bonus tip: Sip hot water with lemon and honey through the day, soothing for your throat and great for digestion. Skip the wine tonight, your immune system will thank you tomorrow.

Your gut and immune system are best friends, look after one, and the other thrives.

If you’re done feeling like a balloon by dinner, this one’s for you 👇

Your gut isn’t broken. It’s just trying to get your attention.

✨ You can’t heal your gut on salads and stress. Eating in a rush keeps your body in fight-or-flight, not rest-and-digest. Slow down, it works wonders.

✨ Cutting out “trigger foods” won’t fix the root cause. Gut issues usually come from bacteria, low stomach acid, or stress. Rebuild, don’t restrict.

✨ Your hormones, liver and gut are all connected. A sluggish gut = sluggish hormones and mood. Support digestion, and everything else follows.

✨ It takes consistency, not perfection. Small daily shifts build big change, one meal, one calm moment at a time.

Your gut wants balance, not punishment.
