My body feels different.
And what used to work... doesn't.?
Maybe your weight has shifted.
Your middle feels different.
You're not recovering from exercise like you used to.
Sleep has gone weird.
Energy is unpredictable.
You're hungrier, moodier or suddenly wondering why the body you've known for decades seems to have changed the operating system without telling you.
Welcome to your 40s.
Things can change through perimenopause and menopause.
That doesn't mean you're powerless to do anything about it.
Your body may need a different approach.
Hormonal changes can affect sleep, body composition, bone health, muscle mass and how you feel day to day.
This is not the time to respond by eating as little as possible and exercising yourself into the ground.
Instead, we can focus on supporting the body you have now.
That may include:
Eating enough protein across your day
Protecting and building muscle
Getting enough fibre
Supporting bone health
Managing hunger and cravings
Fuelling exercise properly
Improving the overall quality of your intake
Looking at alcohol, sleep, stress and recovery
Creating a realistic approach to fat loss if that's one of your goals
You haven't suddenly forgotten how to look after yourself.
Your circumstances have changed.
Your body has changed.
Your strategy can change too.
And sometimes simply understanding why things feel different is an enormous relief.
Let's work with your body, not wage war against it.

Want ongoing support?
My 12-week online coaching gives us time to implement changes gradually, monitor what's working and adjust as your needs change.
Nutrition can support health and wellbeing through perimenopause and menopause, but it doesn't replace medical care. Speak with your GP about new or concerning symptoms and treatment options appropriate for you.
