Proactive, no ordinary wellness. Thrive intentionally in 40s & be your own nutrition expert

09/02/2026

Most health advice assumes you have spare time, spare energy, and spare brain space.

Most people I work with don’t.

They’re already juggling work, family, decisions + responsibility and then wondering why generic nutrition advice doesn’t stick.

Information isn’t the problem.

The problem may often be trying to apply one-size-fits-all advice to a life that’s:
• mentally full
• responsibility-heavy
• already stretched

These are exactly the conversations I have with clients in coaching.

Not about trying harder or more motivation. Not about “believing in yourself”.

But about often how to:
• prioritise without doing everything
• build routines that survive busy weeks
• step out of all-or-nothing thinking
• respond to setbacks without binning the plan

Midlife health isn’t about pushing more in but about designing something that fits your actual capacity, so consistency becomes realistic.

If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but can’t make it stick, that gap is usually where support helps most.

(Ps. this video takes me back winter in NZ. July, upside-down seasons, how gorgeous is that?)

Ot may be one of the top questions I hear from my clients.
Oat milk isn’t the villain. But it’s often blamed when the real issue is how people are fuelling their day.

Energy dips are rarely about one food, they’re about missing key anchors.

If your energy feels unpredictable, start with an Energy Check-In. Link in bio or comment ENERGY and I’ll send it over.

There isn’t a “better” yoghurt; just a better fit for you.
They do different jobs.

Both contain calcium.
Both can fit a healthy diet.

The better choice is the one that supports your goal like satiety, energy, fat intake, energy physical output or weigh loss.

Food matrix (nutrients combination) matters. Context often can beat labels.

Which one do you usually choose , and why? 👇

Midlife energy issues are rarely about motivation.

Most people I work with aren’t lazy or inconsistent, they’re undereating, overthinking, under-recovering, and trying to function like they’re still 25.

Add chronic stress, poor sleep, gut issues, and years of “start again Monday” habits, and it’s no surprise energy starts to feel fragile.

This is why I don’t start with extreme plans, rigid rules, or cutting entire food groups.

I start with:
– stabilising blood sugar
– eating enough to support the nervous system + caloric needs
– building realistic habits that don’t rely on willpower

Calm systems beat aggressive ones especially after 40.

I support this through my Nutrition Clarity Programme: calm, clear, structured nutrition support for energy, digestion, and metabolic health. DM me to enquire.

Forget ice baths and weird cleanse juices; your metabolism doesn’t need hacks, it needs habits and things that move the needle
And carbs? Yep, good news! They’re NOT the enemy 🫣

I often see my clients chasing any “health fix” out there, until they realise the basics actually work for metabolism support:
- Daily veggies and fruit (more color = more nutrients= more support)
- Smart carbs like oats, wholegrains, beans and root veg
- Protein with every meal
- Water before coffee, movement > screens
- Fewer packages, more real food

Results don’t need to be extreme. They need to be consistent.
No hack ca outsmart the daily habits.

December isn’t you “losing discipline”. It’s the month pulling your routines in every direction at once.
If things feel wobbly, that’s likely physiology and pre- Christmas chaos.

For my clients (and me 👋) right now, the win could be choosing one stabiliser and letting it hold the rest: protein at breakfast, morning light, fibre, hydration.

Small anchors calm the system more than any December “reset”.

If you try one, tell me which one you picked 🎄

Waiting for a perfect plan or time scarcity might be draining your energy, because it may mean overcomplicating or under-fueling.

Many people over 40 are either overthinking every bite or blame ‚busy’ on lack of nutrients and their low energy, both messing with metabolism.

The solution is often both boring AND brilliant:
eat enough, eat consistently and know how to fuel for the output you expect from yourself. Energy, mood, digestion, improved metabolic health.

A client told me recently, “My BMI’s normal, so I must be healthy”

It’s an easy assumption to make, but BMI was never designed to measure health.
It simply compares weight to height. It doesn’t reflect muscle, blood-sugar control, inflammation or how efficiently the body uses energy.

You can have a textbook BMI and STILL experience mid-morning crashes, cravings, lack of focus, bloating or fatigue.. just some signs your metabolism might be struggling.

Blood sugar is one of the clearer markers of how your metabolism’s coping day-to-day.
And muscle? It’s the most underrated metabolic asset.
It helps the body store and use glucose efficiently, stabilising energy and supporting long-term health.

So when someone says, “My BMI’s fine,” I often ask: and how’s your energy? your focus? your labs? your sleep + your?
It might be time to look deeper than the BMI number.

Because metabolic health isn’t only about your weight and an outdated number doesn’t tell the whole story. Your habits and biochemistry often do.

👋 I help clients get clear on what’s really happening under the surface and build nutrition habits that actually support metabolic health long term. DM me or use the bio link to book a free initial consult with me ☎️

Stop trying to boost your metabolism like it’s ‘broken’.

The metabolism is adaptive. It’s constantly responding to your inputs, and likely not waiting for your next “fat-burning” tea.

What to do instead 👇

🍳 Feed it consistently. Understand your body’s rhythm. Skipping meals or under-eating may be telling your body to conserve, not burn

💪 Build muscle. It’s your most metabolically active tissue; the more of it, the higher your daily burn without doing more cardio

💤 Sleep. It’s the saddest news in the wellness (right after peanut butter macros, iykyk!) Even one bad night can affect glucose metabolism and increase / screw up hunger cues the next day

🧘‍♀️ Long term stress (mental /physical) keeps the body on high alert, pushing up blood sugar, messing with appetite. it Think: rest, food and recovery, outsourcing tasks and mind management

🏃‍♀️ Get real with movement. NEAT (non-exercise activity) like walking, fidgeting, move around between your zoom calls, chores.. can make up to 30% of your total daily energy use. Make it happen

You don’t need a “boost.” You need a baseline that actually supports your body’s natural design to adapt, repair and stay efficient.

Start with small, unsexy basics. They’re the real metabolic multipliers.

👉 If you’re tired of “boost” tips that do nothing long-term.. lets give your metabolism some personalised attention. Book a free call with me and we’ll map out what your body actually needs. Links in my bio or DM me.

Your metabolism doesn’t slow down with age.

It slows down with sitting more, sleeping less, skipping meals, living on caffeine, and calling 4,000 steps a “busy day.” Age isn’t necessarily the problem. The habits that crept in while life got busier are.

Around ages 20-60, the total daily energy expenditure stays pretty stable. The real metabolic decline only kicks in after ~60 years of age, at average of 0.7% per year*

So the midlife “metabolism failing” is perhaps more about your movement, nutrition and sleep habits shifting over years without you noticing

But there’s also some good news? You can actually do a lot.
You don’t need to eat either like a bottomless 20-year-old teenager or survive on salads only (like in the 90s)

You can rebuild the basics the metabolism actually depends on: movement, muscle, meals that stabilise blood sugar and are nutrient rich, and sleep that’s longer than your Netflix wish list
🙄

You can’t control the years, but you can stop blaming your birthday + absolutely aim to control your metabolic environment.

📧 DM me or comment ‘metaboliam’ if you’re ready to reset the
habits that are actually slowing it down.

Not all supplements are worth the hype.

But some do make a real difference when energy, gut health, or metabolism starts feeling off, especially once you hit your 40s.

These are the 3 I come back to again and again in practice.
Start with food.
Know when to test.

Supplement with knowledge and purpose, not panic (or because it’s trending on TikTok)

👉 Save this for later and come back to it next time you’re
scanning the pharmacy shelf

DM me if you want help figuring out what your body actually
needs, not just what’s popular.
