When these 5 factors are solid, I know we’re cooking!

We’re out of survival mode and progress is inevitable 👌

And the best bit, not one of these factors revolves around the scales, or letting them dictate your progress. 🖕👊

Still punishing your midlife body with smaller and smaller portions?? We need to have a fcking word mate 👀

But ‘ooooo you must be missing calories you didn’t track’ .... (do one skinnytok)🖕

Fixating on being in a deficit completely skips over the factors that actually move you towards your goals and feeling confident in your body… 👀

(hopefully the goal is not to be a helpless waif of a human, been there…the t.shirt is fcking tiny and your zest for life goes AWOL) 😒

Over the years, your hormones were busy rewriting your playbook (quite fcking liberating to move away from the calories model if you ask me)🤝 It’s time to pivot and focus on the things that actually move the needle, because..

🚫A calorie deficit’s not gonna help you to balance your blood sugar and improve your insulin sensitivity. This is fcking key for the body composition changes we see during perimenopause (and yes I’ll keep preaching this until your afternoon slump packs its slumpy little bags and fcks off) 🖕

🚫 ‘burning more than you consume’ 🖕is not gonna reduce your stress levels (and before we start hating on cortisol, it’s not the bad guy but we’re gonna feel like a sack of s**t if it’s always on speed dial )

🚫Less calories are also definitely not gonna keep you satiated with steady-as-fck energy between meals (so that you can avoid the insatiable hanger!)

🚫 And eating like a fcking bird certainly isn’t gonna quieten the food noise, boost your metabolism, balance your hormones or revive your mojo...

🧐See how none of this is about ‘eating too much’?

👉So here’s your cue to stop obsessing over calories and start supporting your body properly. Add the god-damn fats, fuel your workouts, protect your muscle, prioritise your nervous system, sleep and recovery....

❤️Stop apologising for nourishing yourself and start showing your body some love you magnificent midlife legend 🙌

I normalised all of this, and genuinely thought this was just ‘being disciplined’ 🙄😅

But really I was wreaking havoc with my hormones, tanking my mojo, decreasing my bone density and generally just causing metabolic fckery.

So whilst skinny is supposedly back in, i’m backing women being strong, well-fed and metabolically solid for the long haul 💪

Had to have a word with Chat GPT for the tiny pink dumbbell and ‘calories’ plan it originally came up with…… straight to the stereotypes and diet culture. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

FYI I don’t hold avocados like some sort of prize (you don’t have to earn it), but at least it’s not a low fat yoghurt creeping back into fashion.😵‍💫

And I certainly don’t have fcking stickers of vegetables on my laptop (coz obviously all nutritionists must only eat vegetables). 🙄🙄🧐

Diet culture runs DEEP, who’s with me in flipping it the bird 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

What did I miss….??

02/02/2026

I’m 40 and apparently none of this is behind me yet 🙃

• My period still takes me by surprise every fcking month
(same time, same place… but what fresh new hell is this?!)

• I spent a good chunk of my life surviving in diet culture BS
(I literally teach people how to ditch it — and sometimes it still sneaks in like a wonky-ass default setting)

• I can’t bring myself to refer to my fella as my “partner”
(it’s just too fcking cringe)

• I thought confidence would magically arrive by 40
(turns out it comes with having fewer fcks to give)

• I still overthink texts like it’s 2007
(…was that a passive-aggressive smiley face?)

Glad it’s not just me …. Right? 👀

18/01/2026

Apparently we’re all throwing it back to 2016 👀

I have some fantastic memories from that year, and pound for pound I was probably the strongest I’ve ever been…..

…. BUT I was also the leanest. And that came at a hefty price:

🚫no period
🥶 being cold ALL the fcking time
⬇️ low thyroid function
🙎🏼‍♀️thinning hair
🧌 swamp stools 💩 and insane bloating
😓 Low mood
🚫 zero mojo

Safe to say i sacrificed a lot to be a smaller, leaner version of myself.

👉Don’t get me wrong, I’m HERE for women lifting weights, building muscle and generally being stronger versions of themselves…

…. this is just a reminder that chasing a lean exterior does not always translate to a happy and healthy body.

💪💪 So go forth and lift heavy s**t ladies (safely), build a resilient and metabolically healthy body that your 80 year old self will thank you for 💪 ….

….but approach it with a fuel and recovery mindset rather than a shrinking, punishing and restriction one. 🧡

Be kind to yourselves 😘

05/01/2026

Yup…. We went full burgundy 😅😅

Consistency looks different for everyone—mine just happens to have four legs. 🐶

A little reminder that movement doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. 🤷🏼‍♀️

🚫Skip the miserable January deficits and mental workout schedule…

✅ Lean into the daily walks, strength training and fuelling your body to meet its need!

This is how we build lasting results ✌️

Happy new year everyone!!

Here’s to a happy, healthy 2026 😊 ❤️

Here’s the wild thing about metabolic syndrome....

… you might not even realise you’re already struggling with it.... 😅

😅Metabolic syndrome is essentially a cluster-f**k of conditions which increase the risk of:

❤️‍🩹 Heart disease

🍬 Type 2 diabetes

🧠 Stroke

😵‍💫 Fatty liver disease

The 5 key risk factors include:

1️⃣ Raised blood pressure

2️⃣ Abdominal obesity (waist circumference above 102cm for men and 88cm for women)

3️⃣ Elevated triglycerides (you’d ideally want them to be below 1 mmol/l)

4️⃣ Decreased levels of HDL (ideally above 1 mmol/L)

5️⃣ Raised blood sugar.

👉👉 I’d also be looking for elevated liver enzymes and elevated fasting insulin (both indicating insulin resistance).

Are the signs already there..... and your markers creeping up…. Your waistline creeping out ?? 😅

And I’m all for people having curves… but storing weight around your waist is a big red flag for your health. 🚩

Is it time to turn this ship around ⛴️ ?? Because your body won’t always be able to bounce back! 🫣

03/08/2025

You’re at that point where you’ve tried every possible macro split combination…
.. Low carb.
...High protein.
...Low fat.

Hell, you can’t even budge a single pound on the ‘low everything diet’

Frustrating, right?

But here’s the thing: you can’t out-macro, out-deficit, or out-discipline a body that’s hanging onto every last calorie for survival.

Why? Because fat loss resistance isn’t about willpower — it’s about what’s going on under the surface:

🚫 Undiagnosed Hashimoto’s (you can bet your bottom dollar your doc’s not checking this unless you ask them!)

🦠 A dysbiotic gut (some bacteria absorb more energy from food, yup you could eat the exact same meal as Susan and absorb more energy from it)

❌ Lack of Akkermansia (a gut microbe which increase GLP1 and boosts metabolic health)

🔥 Prolonged calorie deficits (these fckers will have slowed your metabolism)

🏋️‍♀️ Overtraining (another way to kick your body into preservation mode)

🧬 Subclinical low thyroid function and elevated reverse T3

😰 Chronic stress (acute stress = survival. Chronic stress = s**tshow)

🍬 Insulin resistance (your body is essentially converting sugar to fat for storage)

⬇️ Declining oestrogen, (this is going to exacerbate insulin resistance and contribute to weight gain around your waist during perimenopause)

So if you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results, it’s time to stop blaming the macros... and start looking at the root cause!

02/08/2025

Yeeeaaaaahh… you know the feeling, when you have your busy social life teed up, outfit planned, picked out your fave dish on the menu…..

BUT the bloat has other ideas for an uncomfortable whoopy cushion of a weekend 💨 💨 😬

🤦🏼‍♀️ What the f**k was it this time?

Something I ate….

Something I drank…..

Something I contemplated eating….??

Hormones….

Stress…..

Or just General gut rebellion and that vague diagnosis of IBS gifted to you by your doc…. 🎁

Sometimes s**t does hit the fan 💩 we can’t micromanage every last gut reaction….

BUT you can dramatically reduce the chance of feeling bloated and uncomfortable with these 3 really basic steps:

1️⃣ Keep a food diary (I don’t care about your macro splits…. I mean a ‘dear diary I shat my pants today, this is what a ate’) - keep an eye out for trigger foods

2️⃣ Stay hydrated (people love to skip this unsexy part and go straight to the supplements) and eat your veggies (some plants may also bloat you…. But you’ll know that because it will be in your ‘s**tty pants’ diary 🩲)

3️⃣ SLOW DOWN and chew your food. Put your knife and fork down, stop multitasking. Give the cascade of digestion chance to do its thing!

Start here, before jumping into heroic amounts of supplements or testing. 🦠

You’ll be amazed how much you can change with the simplest of tools 🛠️ 🥘 🥗

If you’ve tried the basics, and don’t feel any better…. Hit me up, we can get to the root cause 🦠 🍱 🍲
