You’ve been told “just eat better” or “just move more” after breast cancer, you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Because what you’re dealing with isn’t just about diet or steps.
It’s about an entire internal shift: Your hormones, inflammation, mitochondria, and metabolism all working differently than they did before.

⭐️Above the surface:
→ “Just eat more protein.”
→ “Just cut sugar.”
→ “Just take HRT.”
→ “Just walk 10,000 steps.”
→ “Just do some yoga.”
→ “Just get stronger.”

It sounds easy…
Until you’re actually living below the surface.

⭐️Below the surface:
→ No energy by 9am
→ Hot flushes and broken sleep
→ Never exercised before and scared of injury
→ Weak joints
→ Cooking for fussy kids while holding your family together
→ Not allowed HRT
→ Still just trying to survive
→ Fighting decades of diet culture
→ Afraid to eat more because you’ve always been told to eat less
→ Can’t afford to experiment with every new supplement

⭐️What’s really happening inside?

Your biology has changed:
Inflammation is high and you need to bring this down by improving mitochondrial function, increasing muscle mass and by resetting your micro biome.

And your old approach to fat loss won’t work in a body that’s healing from cancer, navigating menopause, or living without hormonal protection.

That’s why what you need isn’t more restriction ,it’s rebuilding.

Inside my 13 week 1:1 bespoke program for post breast cancer I help women:
→ Reduce inflammation
→ Rebuild lean muscle & strengthen bones
→ Support mitochondria & metabolism
→ Restore energy and confidence in a body that’s been through it all.

⭐️When we do this with targeted exercise and nutrition we help lower cancer recurrence.

⭐️Because the goal isn’t to shrink now, it’s to strengthen.

To create a body that’s resilient, protective, and built for long-term health.

Progression with impact training is not just about jumping it’s about joint, ligament and muscle strength and stability.

The same is needed when lifting weights, especially if you’ve had an osteoporosis or osteopenia diagnosis.

In order to stimulate, bone density growth you need produce an impact force of ~ 4X your body weight.

This is influenced by the height you jump from and the power you create.

The bigger the drop the greater the impact = greater the stimulation 🦴

⭐️⭐️How do I train clients with impact training, on my 1:1 osteoporosis program?

I assess them individually - ability depends on past activity and medical history.

We might begin with a basic ladder run, but they are then taught how to jump softly which then progresses to creating more impact.

Like with all training - cardio, weights and core, the programs are progressed to prevent stagnation and promote growth.

⭐️When you do the same program, exercise at the same intensity, same direction it becomes background noise.

Your bones are alive and they need consistent stimulation.

If you need help with osteoporosis or osteopenia, you’re in menopause or had breast cancer and would like a program designed for your needs, comment JUMP below or DM me.

Offering 13 week 1:1 bespoke programs designed for your individual needs with both nutrition and exercise to lower inflammation, improve bone density and increase muscle.

Programs can be tailored to fat loss, weight gain, reducing cholesterol, blood pressure and insulin levels. And post cancer recovery.

Even though aromatase inhibitors can be tough, they’re highly effective at preventing recurrence.

Many women in their late 50s and 60s are dismissed when it comes to post breast menopause care.

⭐️It’s assumed that they’re done with menopause and oestrogen.

It’s often overlooked that women in menopause still produce oestrogen - just in a different way.
Instead of coming from the ovaries, oestrogen (mainly estrone) is made when the enzyme aromatase in our fat tissue converts other hormones into oestrogen.

⭐️This smaller, steady supply of oestrogen still plays an important role, supporting bone strength, heart health, brain function, and can soften menopause symptoms.

⭐️With informed help and medication women can often reduce the symptoms of hot flushes, anxiety and depression and vaginal UTIs and dryness .
However a lot of women are unaware and often too embarrassed to seek help.

⭐️⭐️Correctly dosed exercise and nutrition that reduces inflammation can also help women stay on treatment, reduce side effects and protect their long-term health span.

⭐️⭐️Has this happened to you?
Were you warned about the side effects and how you could help yourself?

Menopause after breast cancer and can’t take HRT? You’ve still got a better way to thrive.

In an ideal world we’d all be able to take HRT and implement lifestyle changes with targeted exercise and nutrition that lower inflammation and prevent recurrence.

However this is not always possible, either because of types of breast cancer, are unable to get hold it or other reasons.

By being strategic with exercise type, dose and nutrition you can improve two of the most important longevity markers - strength and VO2 max.

⭐️When you improve these you improve:

Brain health- cognition & memory
Cardio vascular function
Bone density
Insulin resistance

⭐️Menopause after breast cancer doesn’t mean your healthspan has to shrink.
While most people are slapping on their HRT patches and sitting still, my client is rebuilding strength, balancing her body naturally, and proving that vitality isn’t dependent on HRT.

I think my client is winning, what do you think?

Many women I coach after breast cancer treatment or in menopause tell me the same thing:

“I feel anxious all the time, my mind won’t switch off, and I’m too exhausted to think straight.”

It’s easy to assume you need more rest or meditation
but did you know that the right kind of exercise can calm your nervous system far more effectively than stillness.

⭐️Here’s why:
When you lift weights with proper breathing and core bracing, you activate the vagus nerve - the communication link between your brain, heart, lungs and gut.
This signals your parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and restore” mode) to lower stress hormones, slow your heart rate and calm your body.

Every rep, every exhale, tells your brain:
👉 “You’re safe.”

⭐️And when you begin to lift weights consistently, you’ll gain extra benefits benefits:

• Reduce chronic inflammation (a key driver of fatigue and anxiety after breast cancer).
•Support hormonal balance when you can’t take HRT.
•Improve mitochondrial function for better energy.
•Boost bone density and muscle strength, helping you feel grounded and resilient again.

⭐️Its not just about building muscle, it’s about training your nervous system to relax, rebuild and thrive.

⭐️And if you’ve been struggling with:
– stress and anxiety after breast cancer
– menopausal brain fog or poor focus
– feeling constantly “on edge” or fatigued
– trouble sleeping despite exhaustion

Then strength training might be the missing piece.
Not punishing workouts, but gentle, intentional movement that restores your body from the inside out.
