Research shows that, on average, 85% of people taking weight loss medications regain the weight they’ve lost once they stop taking them. There are many reasons for this, but it doesn’t happen on my watch.

I only work with people who have been medically prescribed these medications (for reasons other than weight loss alone) and are being monitored whilst on them.

The clinic I partner with insists that all patients make changes to food choices and lifestyle habits and that’s where I come in.

Together, we look at building nutritious, balanced meals, and workout regimes that work with life. Not only that we look more holistically at sleep patterns, daily habits and issues that may be causing stress and inflammation.

When it comes to workouts we focus on building muscle as this is so important during weight loss. The weight needs to come from fat, rather than muscle loss and so increasing resistance training is key. As is support. I’m a constant guide and a helping hand, on call when things get tough and there as a sounding board whenever my clients need me.

Many of my clients are perimenopausal or in menopause and I’ve lost count of the times they tell me that they’re working out in the same way they always have, or even harder but they’re just not seeing results.

There’s a reason for that. At this stage of life, when our hormones shift, we need to change the way we workout too.

It becomes much more about quality than about quantity, more about strength than about cardio. 💪

That’s because when we hit the perimenopausal/menopausal age bracket, oestrogen starts to fluctuate and then deplete, and this has a big impact on bone density and muscle mass.

Muscles, joints and ligaments are particularly affected by hormones and that’s why the amount of weight-bearing (or resistance as it’s also known) exercise and strength training we do should increase as we age.

That’s not to say we ditch the cardio and holistic work completely. Balance is key, but instead of heading to the treadmill when you hit the gym, do weights first (after mobilising your body) and over the week shift the focus so that weight-bearing and strength training make up more of your weekly workout routine.

I’ve written an article on this for London Hormone Clinic which you may find interesting.

Technically, you don’t need any kit to work out as you can simply use your own body weight but when clients ask me to recommend props these are top of my kit list…

✅ A foam roller. Preferably a long and a short one, but if you’re just buying one, go for the long version. Make sure the length fits from your head to your bottom, covering your whole spine. Rollers are useful for mobilisation, stretching and muscle release and relaxation.

✅ Dumbbells. Ideally two sets. Lighter weights to challenge the upper body and heavier weights to work the lower body. You don’t need to buy a whole set of different weights as you can double up by holding two weights in your hand at the same time. If you’re looking for something heavier then invest in a kettlebell too.

✅ Resistance bands. These are cheap and often come in a pack and you can double or even triple these up to make your workouts even more challenging. The great thing about these bands is they’re so small, you can take them with you wherever you go.

Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing some simple exercises you can do with these pieces of kit, so follow me and watch this space. And if you’d like me to create a bespoke workout for you, I can help you with that as part of a healthy lifestyle plan. then please get in touch.

And if you haven’t had a look at my online store yet, then check out my website as you’ll find a selection of my favourite workout products there – including weights and kettlebells – with discounts when you buy direct from me.

Clients sometimes tell me they find Pilates-style exercises like this dull and repetitive and I get that. For me, they’re brilliant and therapeutic, a chance to pause and reset my body and mind.

If you do find these things boring, it helps to focus on what you’re working on and why you’re doing those specific moves.

Here, I’m stabilising my core by lying on the foam roller and mobilising my shoulder joints as well as improving my coordination. And, at the same time, I’m focusing on breathwork – something that is often overlooked when it comes to exercise.

These types of moves feed into my ‘little and often’ mentality. They can easily be done at home – first thing in the morning, between meetings or before going to bed.

You could even do them in your office or when you travel (you don’t need the foam roller.)

If you’d like support or inspiration to create a workout plan you can follow at home or in the gym — as part of a complete healthy lifestyle package including nutrition and more — feel free to get in touch. I can design a fully bespoke programme tailored to your needs, with personalised videos you can refer back to anytime.

Cassie came to me feeling down after the birth of her two children she’d spent a decade of trying to lose weight without success.

What worked this time? A holistic programme that focused on small, consistent blood sugar balance and energy boosting changes rather than quick fixes.

With personalised coaching and a balance of encouragement and challenge Cassie built a lifestyle and importantly a new mindset that she’s proud about. 🙌

Clients often come to me suffering from a loss of confidence, increased anxiety, poor concentration, reduced libido, weight gain and muscle loss and all of these symptoms can be caused by low testosterone.

Private clinics regularly prescribe testosterone to women as part of hormone replacement therapy, but NHS guidelines haven’t yet caught up with the latest medical evidence which shows the huge benefits of testosterone replacement for men and women.

Currently, just a very small proportion of menopausal women are prescribed it by their GP.

🧐If you are perimenopausal or menopausal and suffering from any of these symptoms, there are plenty of things you can naturally do to help:

💚 Maximise resistance training to build muscles and protect bone density.
💚 Eat proteins, oily fish, mushrooms and good fats.
💚 Lower sugar intake – which includes alcohol and juices.
💚 Be outdoors in daylight as much as you can.
💚 Reduce daily stress through mindfulness and meditation.
💚 Reduce consumption of food packaged in plastic.

These are just some of the ways you can naturally support the symptoms of low testosterone. Pick one thing you aren’t already doing from this list as a starting point for change.

Testosterone is such an important hormone for women, and although it’s often thought of as a male or s*x l hormone, it does far more than maintain a healthy libido.

In menopause, a decline in testosterone (along with other factors) causes fatigue, loss of concentration, brain fog and reduced libido.

And yet, despite its many benefits, currently only around 8,000 of the 3 million women of menopausal age in the UK are prescribed it as part of NHS hormone replacement therapy.

And those that are, are given creams and gels that were designed to be used by men. That’s because the growing body of evidence which shows the benefits of testosterone replacement for menopausal women hasn’t yet filtered down to NHS guidelines.

Private clinics who prescribe testosterone for patients – both male and female – are seeing huge benefits. They’re doing this to alleviate symptoms present today, and, perhaps more importantly, to maintain cardiovascular health, avoid musculoskeletal decline, and optimise metabolic efficiency – the key to managing insulin resistance.

All of which are absolutely critical when it comes to maintaining long-term health.

To find out more about this, have a look at the journal section of the London Hormone Clinic website, or get in touch with me.

Goal setting is important to me, and whilst the new year is a good time for a new start, I don’t put pressure on myself to completely overhaul my life.

Instead, I use it as a time to reflect on my achievements, plan to do more of what works for me, and make small adjustments that will benefit my physical and mental health.

My focus this year will be on personal injury prevention, and on personal and professional development, and as well as that I’ll be planning new adventures with friends and family and doing things that challenge and excite me.

I’ll also continue to do something that I love – to share my knowledge and experience with my clients and the wider community.

If you’d like help planning your 2026 goals or even working out what these are or should be, then please get in touch.

I offer a free, no-obligation consultation.

A festive pause. 💚
