Coffee + toast isn’t a decent breakfast.
It’s a blood sugar crash waiting to happen.

And if you’re in perimenopause?

That invisible habit is fuel to the fire for:
→ weight gain around the middle
→ cravings that hit like clockwork
→ energy that disappears by 10am
→ and a metabolism that feels totally off

Here’s what else:
It’s low in protein, low in fibre — which means you’re starting your day already behind on what your body actually needs.
And when your hormones are shifting?
That matters more than ever.

Toast is a snack, not a meal.
And it’s not going to cut it if you want to feel full, steady your blood sugar, and finally stop the spirals.

✨ The fix?
Happy Hormone Brekkies that taste like dessert — and actually keep you full.

Protein. Fibre. Healthy fats. Magnesium. Prebiotics. Probiotics. B vitamins.
→ Every single one supports your hormones, energy + metabolism.

📩 DM me “BREAKFAST” and I’ll send you the recipes my clients swear by — no tracking, no restriction, just real food that works with your body.

Jen was eating “healthy”… and still gaining weight every month.
The coat that used to fit wouldn’t zip.
Her cravings were wild.
Her energy crashed daily.
And she felt like a stranger in her own body.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing no one tells women in perimenopause:

✨ You are not broken.
✨ You are not lazy.
✨ You are not “doing it wrong.”

Your biology has changed —
but the diet advice you’ve been given hasn’t.

Jen wasn’t overeating.
She was under-fuelling, overstressed, inflamed, blood-sugar dysregulated, and stuck in the midlife “survival mode loop.”

When we rebuilt her food for her midlife hormones, reduced inflammation, balanced blood sugar…
and retrained her brain + mindset around cravings, guilt and overwhelm…

Everything shifted.

💛 Within weeks:
– brain fog gone
– energy steady
– cravings calmed
– better sleep
– effortless consistency
– a stone down without dieting

And the biggest win?
She recognises herself again.

If you’re eating well but still gaining weight…
If your cravings, belly fat, exhaustion or 3am wake-ups feel out of control…

It’s not willpower.
It’s biology — and it’s fixable.

💬 Comment RESET and I’ll message you the details for my VIP Midlife Reset.
No dieting. No tracking. No restriction.
Just the strategy your midlife body’s been asking for.

Women in perimenopause keep being told they need more discipline…
when the truth is they need more fuel.

I’ve spent 8 years helping midlife women lose 1–4 stone without dieting — and I still see the SAME patterns keeping them stuck:

❌ eating tiny breakfasts
❌ undereating all day
❌ relying on caffeine
❌ “being good” Monday–Thursday
❌ snacking nonstop at night
❌ blaming themselves when their body is simply changing

It’s not a lack of willpower.
It’s a lack of strategy for a midlife metabolism that works differently now.

Here are 5 things I wish every woman over 40 knew:

1️⃣ Your breakfast sets your whole day.
Protein + fat first = fewer cravings, better energy, steadier blood sugar.
Your hormones LOVE this.

2️⃣ Undereating backfires in midlife.
It slows metabolism, increases belly fat, wrecks sleep, drains energy and causes muscle + bone loss.
You can’t diet your way out of perimenopause.

3️⃣ Night snacking is a daytime problem.
When you’re under-fuelled and wired-tired, you WILL end up in the biscuit tin.
Eat properly → cravings calm.

4️⃣ You don’t need to track, count or weigh anything.
I’ve helped hundreds of women lose weight without a single app.
Common sense beats calorie maths every time.

5️⃣ Restriction kills consistency.
Real women with real lives need balance — not punishment.
You can enjoy pizza, prosecco and nights out AND lose weight in perimenopause.

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s just speaking a new language.

💛 If you want simple, real-world support for perimenopause weight loss + hormone balance,
follow .
This is the place for women who want results — without diets, drama or deprivation.

Save this for when you need a reminder:
✨ The basics work better than any diet ever will.

24/11/2025

Everyone’s shouting about protein.
But hardly anyone is talking about the macro that actually keeps your midlife body stable…

FIBRE.
The cravings calmer.
The hormone helper.
The gut guardian.
The quiet queen your perimenopause body is crying out for.

And here’s the kicker:
Even “healthy eaters’’ are barely hitting HALF of what they need… which is why so many women are doing everything “right” and still stuck.

If you're gaining weight, snacking all night, waking at 3am, bloated, wired-tired or just not feeling like you…
Fibre is the upgrade your midlife body is begging for.

Here are 5 tiny fibre tweaks that make a ridiculous difference ⬇️

1️⃣ Swap beige carbs for fibre-rich complex carbs

Oats, beans, lentils, quinoa, wholegrains, sweet potatoes = more fibre = steadier blood sugar = fewer late-night chocolate hunts.

2️⃣ Add chia or ground flax daily

Both are fibre bombs:
Chia = 5g fibre per tbsp
Flax = 2g of fibre + phytoestrogens your hormones LOVE.
Add them to yogurt, oats, smoothies, soups

3️⃣ Make half your plate high-fibre veggies

This is THE symptom-reducer.
More fibre = less inflammation + better sleep, digestion, cravings and energy.
Unsexy. Unbeatable.

4️⃣ Add fibre-rich nuts daily

Almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts = fibre + healthy fats + blood sugar balance.
A proven habit of metabolically healthy women.

5️⃣ Choose fibre-forward snacks (not protein bars full of sweeteners)

Think:
✔ berries (esp raspberries)
✔ apples + nut butter
✔ hummus + veg
✔ dark chocolate
✔ Avocado
✔ popcorn
✔ rye crackers + cheese
These keep you full, steady and satisfied because… fibre.

✨ Why fibre matters EVEN more in perimenopause

Fibre supports the exact things that change at 40+:
• rising cortisol
• inflammation
• gut diversity
• insulin sensitivity
• digestion
• cravings
• belly fat

Fibre is how you control all of this — naturally, gently, without dieting.

It’s not fancy.
It’s not sexy.
But it’s one of the most powerful upgrades you can make for midlife hormones, weight and long-term health.

I’ll be honest — I am officially a basic bitch.
And it’s exactly why my weight is stable, my cravings are calm, and I’m symptom-free at 50.

Not because I do anything extreme.
Not because I’m “disciplined.”
Not because I’ve swallowed the entire supplement aisle at Holland & Barrett.

But because I’ve nailed the basics — the ones women in perimenopause are never taught.

These tiny habits work because they lower inflammation, stabilise blood sugar, support cortisol, protect bones and muscle, and keep your metabolism happy.

No chaos. No 1,200 calories. No “clean eating.”
Just simple things done consistently, in a midlife body that genuinely needs different support.

Save this — the basics work better than any trend ever will.

And if you want an easy place to start, my Happy Hormone Breakfasts that taste like dessert are a great and impactful first step. Comment BREKKIE and I will send them fr:ee to your inbox ###

🏆 Best Rated Weight Loss Centre – 8 Years Running - woo hoo!!!!

Spent the week in bed with a throat infection, fever, and the kind of nausea that turns dry toast into an extreme sport.

And then this arrived in my inbox:

🥇 Best Rated Weight Loss Centre – Leeds (2025)
8 years in a row.

Not brought.
Just grounded, evidence-led support for midlife women who are done guessing.

But here's the thing —
If my clients only lost weight, I’d feel like I hadn’t done my job.

Because what we’re doing here is so much bigger.

✔ Reducing symptoms
✔ Supporting heart, bone, and brain health
✔ Lowering the risk of chronic conditions
✔ Strengthening immunity (yes the irony is not lost on me ha ha), sleep, energy, confidence and identity

This isn’t about scales. It’s about strategy, strength, and long-game health.

While I’m Leeds-based, most of my clients are online — working with me across the UK inside the Midlife Reset Method.
And the changes they’re making are life changing.

To every woman who's trusted me — thank you. This badge means a lot. But your transformation is what makes me proud.

Have a fab weekend

I know I shouldn’t have favourites...
…but Sharon is definitely up there.

Fun.
Fearless.
Strong.
And completely open-minded from the start.
She’s thrown herself into everything we’ve done together — and it’s been a bloody joy watching her come back to herself.

💬 When we met, she told me:

“I’m eating healthy, I’m gaining weight, and I don’t know how to stop snacking.
I’m on HRT — and I still feel off.
I work full time. I’m a carer. I don’t even know where I’d find the time.”

Fast forward to now:
✅ Nearly 2 stone down
✅ Energy for Zumba, Clubbercise + weight training
✅ Sleeping through the night
✅ Skin, hair and nails all thriving
✅ And yes… she still eats chocolate.

The biggest shift wasn’t just physical.
It was identity.
She no longer feels like an afterthought in her own life.

She’s got one more stone to go — and she’s raring to finish strong. 💪🏼

Whose idea was it to do a free masterclass when my kids are off school and driving me nuts - oh I know it was mine 🙈

25/10/2025

POV: You’re eating ‘healthy’, exercising daily…
And your jeans still don’t do up. 😩

It’s easy to think:
“Something’s wrong with me.”
“I must be doing it wrong.”
“I just need to try harder…”

But the truth?

You are not the problem.
Your midlife body is just working differently now — and you’ve been told to use the wrong rulebook.

Because this belly fat isn’t just stubborn.
It’s biological.
And trying to lose it with outdated methods?
That only makes things worse.

In my free masterclass —
The Truth About Belly Fat: What’s Really Going On in Midlife — and What Actually Works —
I’ll show you:

✨ Why your old approach is no longer working (and how to stop blaming yourself)
✨ The 3 biological reasons your body is storing fat differently
✨ What actually works now — based on hormone science, not hustle
✨ The shifts that reduce symptoms, protect your long-term health, and help you finally feel like you again

🟣 It’s free.
🟣 It’s happening Tuesday.
🟣 And it’s the strategy I teach my 1:1 clients — without perfection, guilt or “all or nothing”.

📩 DM me MASTERCLASS or grab your seat at the link in bio.

This isn’t about working harder.
It’s about working with your body — instead of against it.
