Harvesting Good Health, Greenwell Point (2025)

Being involved in the Fitness Industry for the last 12 years I know all too well that our bodies are designed to move. With a busy life and often putting ourselves at the end of the line we forget how important and how necessary it is that we place importance in our health. There is no time like the present so now is the perfect time to let me guide you in your health and fitness. I can provide individual programs to suit your goals and guide you to create a lifestyle that combines wholesome food and training and in return you will have the benefit of a lifetime of well being.

When we think “metabolism,” we often think calories in, calories out right? The thing is metabolic health is so much more than that.

It’s how efficiently your body uses energy. Think about it like how well it handles blood sugar, stores and burns fat, and builds and maintains muscle.

As we age (especially through peri and menopause), our metabolism naturally changes (its not broken, it just changes!) Hormones shift, muscle mass declines, and if we don’t support it energy, recovery, and strength can start to drop too.

The thing is when we take the time and effort to ensure our metabolic health is great then you are going to notice the following effects:

✨ Steady energy throughout the day
✨ Stable blood sugar with no crazy crashes or cravings
✨ Easier weight management
✨ Strong muscle and good recovery
✨ Clear thinking and better sleep

What is even better is you have the capability of protecting it by doing the simple things like:

✅ Strength train regularly
✅ Eat enough protein
✅ Don’t chronically under-eat
✅ Prioritise sleep and stress management
✅ Move often, even outside your workouts, this is where having a step target is ideal!

The short version is, feed it well, train it consistently, and it will work for you, not against you.

When we start to disconnect like skip a check-in, stop tracking, avoid our coach, or hide from support. That is often when old habits quietly slip back in.

It’s not because we’ve failed. It’s because we’re human. If I was completely honest, woman in peri-menopause and menopause are one of the worst at it. We think we have to just sit and suffer and we shouldn't complain. I am telling you now the more you talk about it the more you realise you don't need to do this alone.

When life gets hard or messy, and I get it, it happens often. It’s easy to retreat and think, “I’ll get back on track when I feel better.” But the truth is connection is the very thing that helps us feel better.

Growth doesn’t happen in silence. Change doesn’t happen in hiding.

It happens when you lean in. When you share what’s really going on, when you ask for help, when you stop trying to carry it all on your own. It happens when you do the things you don't really want to do.

Let's redefine what living in midlife is all about. If you’ve been struggling in silence, this is your reminder to reconnect. This is the very reason check ins play such a big part in coaching.

You don’t have to do this alone.

I have 3 Premium coaching positions available so if you want to move away from that feeling of isolation comment "Team" below and let's do this 🤛

Hitting 2L of water a day isn’t just about better energy, digestion, and glowing skin, it can actually influence how well you sleep.

When you’re dehydrated:

🧠 Your body produces more stress hormones (like cortisol). That makes it harder to relax and fall asleep.

💓 Dehydration can cause a higher heart rate and even muscle cramps at night, which interrupts sleep.

🌡️ Hydration helps regulate your body temperature. If you’re dehydrated, it’s harder for your body to cool down, and cooling is part of how we drift into deep sleep.

🧪 Low hydration can also mess with melatonin production (your sleep hormone).

So, being hydrated during the day sets your body up for better sleep at night, as long as you don’t overdo it right before bed.

I get it, getting up during the night because you have hit your water target is not ideal right? So, aim to get most of your water in before late afternoon. That way it keeps you energised through the day and prevents those 2am bathroom trips!

Small shifts in your daily habits like this stack up to big improvements in your energy and recovery.

How close do you get to 2L a day? Let me know in the comments!

Short answer, Yes 100%.

Bodyweight training isn't just for beginners. It builds strength, stability, control and resilience especially when done with intention

You can challenge your muscles in different ways:

✅️ Using tempo (slow reps)
✅️ Increasing reps or volume
✅️ Changing angles (think Incline push ups to floor push ups)
✅️ Progressing to more difficult variations

Some of the toughest strength moves out there like pistol squats, paused push ups, or high rep Bulgarian split squats don't require a single piece of equipment.

And for woman in midlife?

✔️ Bodyweight movements improve balance, joint control, and confidence in how your body moves
✔️ They're joint friendly and can be adapted around injuries or travel
✔️ They are a great stepping stone to heavier resistance work.

Key point, don't shy away from them ♥️
