11 Truths…

1. You still need to eat real food. Your body still needs essential nutrients, you can’t run on fumes just because your appetite is lower.

2. Since you’re eating less, every bite matters.

3. Losing weight quickly might sound great, but it can bring some weird, uncomfortable side effects if you’re not nourishing yourself.

4. Digestive issues happen a lot on GLP-1s… the right daily habits can make a big difference.

5. Constipation isn’t just annoying and uncomfortable, it’s your body waving a little red flag that something’s off.

6. Feeling wiped out or dizzy? That’s usually your body telling you it needs more energy (aka food)

7. If you’re not moving your muscles, especially with a bit of resistance or strength work, they could start to vanish.

8. The medication helps curb hunger, but it can’t build healthy habits or strength for you. That part still matters.

9. Eating teeny-tiny random meals all day usually backfires. Your body does best with steady, balanced fuel.

10. Water, rest, and recovery might sound basic, but they can be game-changers when you’re on GLP-1s.

11. Skipping meals often makes everything harder, your mood, your energy, your results. Steady nourishment works better.

I was told that I had osteopenia, the stage before osteoporosis, when bones start breaking down.

It was a big shock.

And one that motivated me take action

I was already eating calcium-rich foods (yoghurt, cheese, leafy greens, tahini, nuts , seeds, beans, pulses)

But it wasn’t enough

So here’s what I did:

- increased my protein to 1.6g/kg body weight

- checked my vitamin D & made sure I was covering the other key nutrients for bone health

- added collagen powder (still debated, but my safety net)

- started strength training. Firstly, with a personal trainer, then at home

I have worked out consistently around 3x a week (with the odd holiday break) ever since

- About 6 months ago I also bought a rebounder and added 10 minutes a few times a week

I have also become postmenopausal, the stage of life where bone loss accelerates for females

So, when I went for my 2-year check-up, I was really nervous…

The result ⬇️

A 10% improvement in bone mass!!

It might not sound huge, but at this stage of life, I feel it’s a big win. And it feels like proof that consistent actions really do add up!

I haven’t even finished, but from what I have heard so far, I felt compelled to repost this straight away…

Some of the biggest names in women’s health right now, and probably, my dream business lunch guests






As women, we’re living longer BUT…

“We’re living 20% more of our lives versus our male counterparts in poor health, with chronic disease and mental health issues”

The medical profession needs to do more for us AND we need to do more for ourselves too! Educating ourselves and prioritising our own health

So many of us are also working on the ground to push for better research and better health outcomes for women

And this isn’t just for women, it’s for the men who care about the females in their lives as well.

Thank you for having this important and much needed conversation.
