Still symptomatic on HRT?
Oestrogen is often high or erratic, even without HRT.
Symptoms are usually about imbalance.

Hot flushes, fatigue, brain fog…
It’s easy to assume menopause symptoms = low hormones.

But that’s not always the full picture.

Most women who come to me expect we’ll focus purely on hormones - yet more often than not, we end up working on the gut, immune system or liver instead.

Because that’s where the real root cause is.
And it’s also why some women don’t feel better on HRT alone.

Hormones don’t exist in isolation - your whole system matters.

I’m seeing this come up again and again in women I work with.

Many have been told that because they have a Mirena, their progesterone is “covered” alongside oestrogen HRT.

The reality is more nuanced 👇

• The Mirena releases progestin, a synthetic hormone - not natural progesterone!
• Progestin does not behave the same way in the brain, nervous system or in any body tissue.
• The dose is very low and local to the uterus, designed for contraception and endometrial protection.

When oestrogen is fluctuating (or being added via HRT), this can leave some women effectively under-supported on the progesterone side.

I commonly see this show up as anxiety, poor sleep, breast tenderness, bloating and a general sense of being “wired but tired”.

This isn’t anti-Mirena.
It isn’t anti-HRT.

It is about understanding hormone physiology properly and individualising care.

If this resonates, you’re not imagining it 🤍

What I love most about this is the strong, simple message: EAT REAL FOODS.

It’s great to see protein - real protein - at the top of the pyramid, alongside plenty of vegetables, and foods like butter and yogurt included without fear. Whole grains sitting at the bottom as a foundation makes sense too.

Of course, nutrition is never one-size-fits-all and always needs to be personalised. But as a population-level message, this feels like a huge step in the right direction. Bravo. 👏

Every client I work with starts in a different place.
That means every programme is different - based on what support you need to move from your current situation to your ideal one.

(Even though I overdid it yesterday… and still have 6 mince pies to “get through” 🎄)

Truth is - your body doesn’t need punishment today. But it does need some protein.

Hitting your protein goal today will:

✔️Help steady your blood sugar

✔️Reduce that wired-but-tired rollercoaster

✔️And keep the cravings (and crashes) in check

So yes - have the leftovers, enjoy the pie. But don’t skip the protein. Your midlife hormones (and your mood) will thank you.

Feeling tired, gaining weight, not recovering, bloated, anxious, wired-but-exhausted?

For women in their 40s, the default answer is always:
“Oh, that’s your hormones.”

Translation: You’re 40+, female, and now broken. Welcome to it.

But, being 40-something doesn’t automatically mean your s*x hormones are to blame everything!

When we actually dig deeper, we often find:

An under-functioning thyroid

Poor blood sugar control

Gut issues

Mineral imbalances

Nervous system dysregulation

Or a liver that’s struggling to detox

Yes - these things can throw your s*x hormones out of balance.

But they’re often the cause, not the result and definitely not just because you’re getting older.

🔍 This is what real assessment looks like when I work with women in perimenopause.

We don’t guess - we map out where your body needs support, so we can get you feeling like you again.

📲 I break this down in my free guide for women in perimenopause - the ones who want answers, not assumptions.

Batch cooking at the weekend honestly makes the week so much easier 🙏
Stews & soups ready to reheat = quick, nourishing meals even when life is busy and there’s zero time (or energy) to cook.

Future me is always grateful 😉

Perimenopause symptoms? Yes.

But slowing down, cutting carbs and swapping your training for yoga-only doesn’t work for you - especially if you love your sport.

If you’ve been hit with the usual advice that doesn’t fit your active lifestyle…

👉 This guide is for you.

Whether you’re on HRT or not, it shows you how to fuel, train and recover in a way that supports your hormones - not works against them.

🖐️ For the midlife woman who still wants to lift, run, ride, compete - and feel great doing it.
