And We Are Back...

On Thursday 5th of February 2026 are re-igniting our Menopause Magic Workshop!

Did you know that over 30 symptoms can be linked to perimenopause — and many begin long before your periods stop?

That’s one of the first things we’ll unpack together,

This engaging, supportive workshop is designed for women who want to understand what’s really going on in their bodies and feel confident navigating this chapter with practical tools that genuinely make a difference.

We’ll explore nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, gut health, emotional wellbeing, and how small daily changes can transform how you feel.

Expect clarity, connection, and plenty of “why did no one tell me this sooner?” moments!

✨ Join Petra Bland Fitness and Me (Nutritionally Kate) to rewrite your menopause story with knowledge, confidence, and a touch of magic. ✨

Meet Your Hormones 🧬

Your body is guided by a complex orchestra of hormones—and menopause is when the music changes dramatically.

From oestrogen and progesterone to testosterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones—each one plays a vital role in how you feel, sleep, move, and manage stress.

✨ Knowledge is your superpower. Understanding your hormones helps you navigate menopause with more confidence and less confusion.

💬 Which hormone are you most curious about?

Come and join Petra Bland Fitness and me on Thursday evening 16th of October for our two hour Menopause Magic Workshop - where we'll have fun discussing hormonal changes throughout the midlife transition.

Last week at a networking event in The Tudor House Hotel in Tewkesbury, I was handed a bag of Lego and asked:

Can you describe what you do with these?

As a Nutritional therapist who supports people living with chronic illness, I loved the challenge.

That pile of colourful Lego pieces instantly became a metaphor for my work:

Each brick - our uniqueness in diet, genetics, lifestyle and health.
The colours - the wide variety of foods and nutrients we can draw on.
The way the pieces fit together - the body's interconnected systems - from neurotransmitters to hormones.
The messy pile - where many people start.... overwhelmed.. confused... and unsure how to put the pieces together.
The process - Nutritional therapy - Step by Step, sorting, shaping, guiding.
The outcome - a strong, colourful, balanced structure - health restored, resilient, and confident.

Lego reminded me that no two people's build is the same. Every client has their own unique set of pieces, and my role is to help them connect the pieces of their health into something that feels whole again.

I had a little chat with one of the most inspiring women I know - Petra Bland Fitness

Together we explore why weight gain is so common in midlife: shifting hormones, rising anxiety, reduced sleep, stress.. It all plays a part... (along with many other factors)

We are both driven to help women rediscover their magic at a stage in life when so much can feel stacked against them. The transition through menopause can become a time of strength, balance and possibility with or without HRT - there's so much to speak about - nourishing food, joyful movement, quality sleep and meaningful connections - to take through to the next stage.

📣📣New Podcast IS LIVE! 📣📣

I am so excited to share this podcast with you.

Kate French, a Nutrition Therapist, is very passionate about helping people through nutrition and healthy lifestyle, so I was pleased when we agreed this podcast, as more people need to know about the empowering message Kate shares.

We chatted about yo-yo dieting and the impact it may have on your health, what to focus on when dieting and how to improve your health by looking after your stress and sleep. Kate also explains the hormonal changes happening in perimenopause and beyond and its impact on weight gain.

Peri- and post-menopause are natural life stages – but that doesn’t mean they’re easy.
Research shows that many women still feel under-informed and under-supported when it comes to managing their symptoms.
