✨One Day or Day One…You decide✨

Weight gain getting you down?
Energy on the floor?
Tried everything?

Losing weight, having energy and feeling like you in perimenopause can be difficult 😩

Hormone fluctuations causing metabolic changes, erratic moods, tiredness and low energy can take its toll🤪

Your go-to diet can stop working and many women turn to crash diets and yo-yo dieting to try to lose the pounds.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone!

Every week, I meet women in my clinic who feel overwhelmed, anxious, and struggling with weight, energy and a myriad of other symptoms.

Ive been there too … I felt the same way and, for a while, accepted it as the new normal. But I couldn’t just accept that—l wanted to feel like myself again.

I sought help, changed my diet and lifestyle, and gradually started feeling normal again.

I see this transformation in my clinic all the time🤗

If you are struggling too then I have the solution for you…

✨The 3 mistakes YOU could be making that are contributing to perimenopause weight gain!✨

Are you at a loss at what to do? You are not alone!

Lots of women in perimenopause suddenly find themselves struggling with what to eat!

Their go-to diet is no longer working for them and is actually causing them to gain weight!

Weight gain in perimenopause is common and can be down to many different reasons but food often plays a big part.

Here are 3 common mistakes I see many women making:

1. NOT EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN - Protein is the building block for all our cells and is needed for 00’s of functions in the body. Protein keeps you full, promotes fat loss and helps build muscle, which is essential in perimenopause.

2. EATING TOO MANY PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES
- By that I mean the starchy kind like bread, pasta and baked goods. In perimenopause our bodies and hormones are changing and we can’t handle carbs like we used to. Many women overestimate the amount they need and the excess gets stored as fat. We do need to include carbohydrates in our diet but opting for the whole grain & seeded types are best.

3. EATING LOW FAT FOODS - Low fat foods are highly processed and often have added chemicals and sugars to improve taste. Unnecessary chemicals can play havoc with your digestive system and any excess sugar not used by your body will be stored as fat.

Are you struggling to understand what to eat now you are in perimenopause?

If the answer is YES then my 7 day January Balance RESET is for you!

This is the reset that every woman needs to easily feel great, balance hormones and start loosing weight in iust 7 davs!

My previous resetters results have been incredible!

✨Anxiety during perimenopause✨ This is hands

✨Anxiety during perimenopause✨

This is hands down my most prevalent symptom during perimenopause😫

Like you, I have to work hard to keep it under control.

Psychological symptoms such as Anxiety are often the first signs of perimenopause, not hot flushes and nights as we so often assume or are led to believe.

It’s normal to feel anxious at times but not when it takes over life.

It can be a symptom that crops up from nowhere and often when anxiety has never been an issue before.

The most common reason for this symptom is an imbalance in some of our key hormones; Cortisol, Oestrogen, Progesterone and thyroid. Also an imbalance in brain neurochemicals; serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin.

Factor in being super busy and our nervous system can be overwhelmed.

However, there is so much that can be done to reduce and manage this symptom with adjustments in nutrition, lifestyle habits and targeted supplements.

Comment CALM and I’ll send you my free guide.

✨6 Hormone Balancing hacks for everyday life✨

✨6 Hormone Balancing hacks for everyday life✨

1️⃣Increase Fiber Intake Fiber from whole grains, vegetables, and fruits promotes a healthy, diverse microbiome, supporting the body’s natural elimination of toxins and hormones, the more colourful your plate the better.

2️⃣Incorporate Phytoestrogens Phytoestrogens are fiber-rich compounds that nourish the microbiome and help balance oestrogen by gently mimicking its effects. Excellent sources include soy, chickpeas, lentils and flaxseeds.

3️⃣Eat Cruciferous Vegetables Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbag and cauliflower contain a compound called indole-3-carbinol, which supports the liver health and the elimination of harmful oestrogens from the body.

4️⃣Prioritize Protein Intake Protein is essential for hormone synthesis and regulation, including oestrogen. It supports muscle health, blood sugar control and is the building block to all our cells and hormones. Try to include protein dense foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, legumes and nuts with each meal to support hormonal balance.

5️⃣Limit Alcohol Consumption Alcohol can disrupt the microbiome and add stress to your liver, making it harder for the body to eliminate excess and spent oestrogen. Reducing alcohol intake can lighten this toxic load, supporting more balanced hormone levels.

6️⃣Minimize Exposure to Xenoestrogens Xenoestrogens are synthetic compounds that mimic natural oestrogen, leading to an imbalance and worse symptoms. Be mindful of plastics, household and personal care products and opting for natural products wherever possible will reduce the toxic load.

Never underestimate the power of daily habits and nourishing our minds and bodies to support our hormones.
