Why Doing More Is Backfiring in Perimenopause

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/02/16

Overwhelmed by peri health advice that tells you to do all.the.things and all at once? Today I'm cutting through the noise with a simpler path that actually works - stabilise blood sugar, protect your sleep, and calm your nervous system. These three foundations form a precise, sustainable strategy for women in perimenopause and menopause who want better energy, clearer thinking, and easier weight loss without the burnout cycle. I start by reframing effort. More effort isn’t better if it spik...

Now That the Kids Are Back at School… What Do You Need?

2026/02/09

When the house finally goes quiet after the holidays, why do so many of us feel flat instead of free? In this week's episode, I talk about the February slump and reveal what’s really happening under the surface: your nervous system coming down from weeks of festive stress, decisions, and constant caretaking. That “let-down” isn’t failure; it’s physiology, and it’s a window to ask a powerful question—what do I need right now? Across this conversation, I unpack how midlife hormones—shifting oe...

Accountability Beats Willpower When Hormones Shift

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/01/26

Changing habits, including when you want to lose weight, gets harder after 40 not because you’ve lost your edge, but because your biology, stress load and sleep have changed the rules. In this week's episode, I unpack why going it alone makes weight loss and habit change feel impossible during perimenopause and menopause, and how compassionate accountability transforms the process from exhausting to doable. Drawing on years of clinical experience and research, I break down the real barriers: ...

If Motivation’s On Holiday, Do Ten Push-Ups

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/01/19

Feeling flat, hormonal, and completely over the “new year, new you” noise? We’ve all been there. Today's conversation gets real about why motivation is so unreliable during perimenopause and menopause—and shows how to build momentum without waiting to feel ready. I unpack the brain chemistry behind motivation, how dopamine dances with oestrogen, sleep, blood sugar, and stress, and why the calendar can be your strongest ally when willpower is wobbling. I break down a simple soft-start plan th...

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/01/12

Feeling like your body isn't shifting despite you doing the things you've always done? You’re not alone. In this episode, I take a clear look at why fat loss often stalls in perimenopause and menopause, and how biology prioritises safety over burning stored energy. By unpacking cortisol, insulin and inflammation, I show how stress, hormonal shifts and fluid retention create a metabolic climate that favours storage, not fat loss—and what to do about it. I start by reframing the “stuck” feelin...

New Year, Same You... And That’s Biology

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/01/05

Feeling flat while the world shouts about fresh starts? There's nothing wrong with you - your body is speaking. I open the new year on the podcast by naming the quiet heaviness so many women feel in their 40s, 50s and beyond, and I explain why “what’s the point?” is often a hormonal response rather than a lack of willpower. With oestrogen swings, lower progesterone, louder cortisol and a dip in dopamine, motivation can stall. The fix isn’t more hype. It’s creating safety so your physiology ca...

Why Perimenopause and Menopause Brains Choose Comfort...

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2025/12/29

Resolve to change without making your body the battleground. In this week's episode I unpack why self-sabotage spikes for women in their 40s and 50s and explain, with clarity and compassion, how a survival-focused brain chooses short-term comfort over long-term goals when hormones, stress, and diet history collide. Rather than blaming willpower, I reframe self-sabotage as protection, then map a kinder, more effective path forward. I get practical about the peri and postmenopause landscape: d...

Santa Isn’t Counting Macros And Neither Should You

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2025/12/22

December can feel like a pressure cooker: end-of-year exhaustion, disrupted routines, family dynamics, more alcohol, and less sleep. Add perimenopause or postmenopause, and cravings spike while motivation vanishes. In today's episode I share a calmer path that doesn’t demand perfection or push you into another punishing reset. Instead, I reframe December as stabilisation: keep blood sugar steady with protein-first meals, protect sleep with consistent bed and wake times, reduce alcohol, and ch...

Festive Season Survival in Peri and Post Menopause

2025/12/15

December doesn’t have to drain your energy or derail your goals. I'm reframing the festive season with a calm, hormone-aware game plan so you can enjoy the food, the parties, and the people without the restrict-then-regret rollercoaster. If perimenopause or menopause has made social months feel harder, you’ll learn what’s changed in your body and how to work with it. I break down why midlife physiology reacts differently to stress, alcohol, poor sleep, and sugar, and how small shifts create ...

The Psychology of Weight Loss: How to Stop Starting Over

2025/12/01

The Monday “restart” spiral ends here. In this week's episode I dig into the real reasons consistency feels harder after 40 and why motivation alone won’t carry you through perimenopause and menopause. From shifting hormones and sleep disruptions to higher cortisol and years of diet fatigue, I unpack the biology and psychology that make old methods fail - and the practical changes that finally stick. You’ll learn why perfection is the enemy of progress and how black-and-white thinking quietl...

Ever bolt awake between 2-3 am with your mind racing and your heart doing drum solos? There’s a reason it happens at the same time, and no, you didn’t forget how to sleep. We dive into the real mechanics behind this annoying wake-up call so many women face in perimenopause and post-menopause: oestrogen swings that destabilise blood sugar, the steady drop in progesterone that removes a calming brake, a jumpier cortisol response, and a liver that’s busiest just as adrenaline naturally peaks.

The 5 Hidden Causes of Weight Gain After 40

Your body hasn’t just “stopped working” after 40 - your biology has changed the rules. In today's episode I unpack the five hidden drivers behind stubborn midlife weight gain and show you how to work with your hormones, not against them. From silent inflammation to cortisol spikes, poor sleep, gut shifts, and insulin resistance, I map out practical steps that make weight loss feel possible again. • the myth of “eat less, move more” failing after 40 due to hormonal shifts • inflammati...

The rules of metabolism change in midlife, and so should your strategy. In this episode I explore how a unique plan, real coaching, and supportive accountability beat willpower and hacks, especially when hormones shift and life gets noisy. Drawing on recent clinical research and years of practice, I unpack why even brief, structured coaching leads to better weight loss, stronger adherence, and a calmer mind. I share a candid story from my own experience with the gym - how weekly check-ins wi...

Ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” and still gaining weight? Let’s flip the script on midlife metabolism. I unpack why eating less and exercising more can backfire in peri and post-menopause, and how to send your body the safety signals it needs to release stored fat. As hormones shift, insulin sensitivity drops, cortisol rises, sleep can be poor, and muscle mass slides. The old calorie-in, calorie-out model ignores that your body is a chemistry lab, not a calculator. I walk thro...

Skin, Inside Out

Your skin isn’t being difficult—it’s doing its job. When the liver, gut, and lymphatic system slow down, your face becomes a billboard for what’s happening inside: jawline breakouts, morning puffiness, and that hard-to-name “tired” look that no serum seems to fix. I pull back the curtain on how detox actually works, why perimenopause ramps up the load, and the simple, sustainable habits that restore flow so your glow returns. In this episode I walk through the four key players—liver, gut, sk...

From Dry to Dewy: Rescue Your Midlife Skin Crisis

Your skin seems to have changed overnight. The moisturiser that once worked wonders now barely makes a difference. Dryness, sensitivity, maybe even unexpected rashes have appeared—and you're wondering if it's all in your head. It's not. As your body navigates the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and beyond, your skin is responding in real, biological ways. During our reproductive years, estrogen acts as our skin's personal trainer, maintaining collagen production, hydration, and elasticity. ...

In this episode of the pod, I’m breaking down the fascinating gut–skin axis and showing you why your digestion has everything to do with your complexion.

That bewildering shift isn't just ageing—it's a complex hormonal dance affecting your skin at its foundations. As oestrogen fluctuates and progesterone declines, your skin undergoes profound changes. The plumpness, hydration, and collagen support that oestrogen provided starts to diminish, while the calming effects of progesterone fade away. Add in perimenopause-related st...

Ever wondered why creatine suddenly became the supplement everyone's talking about? After attempting to order some last week, I discovered all my distributors were completely sold out – and for good reason. This once-athlete-focused supplement is transforming how women navigate perimenopause and menopause. Creatine, an amino acid naturally found in protein-rich foods, does far more than build muscle. While 95% of it resides in your muscles, the 5% in your brain plays a crucial role in cognit...

Change is hard, but staying stuck in perimenopause symptoms feels even harder. As women navigate this transformative time, many hope that small tweaks or a new supplement will magically resolve their hot flushes, weight gain, and fatigue. The uncomfortable truth? Real results require significant changes, not just adjustments. Your resistance to change isn't a character flaw—it's neurobiology. Our brains are wired for safety and familiarity, not transformation. Those habits you're clinging to...
