2026/04/06

Hot flushes can be more than heat, they can feel like a sudden loss of control. If you have ever had that split-second surge of panic before a flush, or noticed anxiety and low mood creeping in at the same time, you are not imagining things and you are not “going crazy”. I’m Susie Garden, naturopath and clinical nutritionist, and I’m sharing the hormone connection that so many women never get told about. In this week's episode, I connect the dots between perimenopause symptoms that often get...

The 2-3am Wake-Up

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/03/23

You’re exhausted, you fall asleep, and then boom, you’re awake again at 2 or 3am like your body set an alarm. If you’ve been lying there with a racing mind, a hot flush, a pounding heart, or that strange “wired but tired” feeling, I want you to hear this clearly: you’re not broken, and you’re not weak. There are real physiological reasons perimenopause insomnia shows up so predictably, and once you understand the pattern you can start changing it. Today I unpack the big three drivers behind ...

Ugh! The Dreaded Perimenopause Brain Fog

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/03/16

Brain fog can be the symptom that scares you the most, because it doesn’t just make you tired, it makes you doubt yourself. If you’ve ever forgotten a simple word mid-sentence, walked into a room and blanked, or reread the same thing three times and still not absorbed it, you’re not alone. I’m Susie Garden, naturopath and clinical nutritionist, and I’m unpacking why brain fog is so common in perimenopause and menopause, and why it’s usually a functional shift you can improve, not the start of...

How Hormones Hijack Motivation And How To Get It Back

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/03/09

What if your missing motivation isn’t a mindset problem but a hormone story your brain is trying to tell? In this week's episode I dive into how perimenopause impacts dopamine and cortisol, why tasks suddenly feel heavier, and how small, targeted changes can switch your drive back on without relying on willpower. I open up about nearly walking away from my practice, the fear that my spark was gone for good, and the science-based steps that brought it roaring back. I break down the oestrogen–...

A Hormone-Smart Path To Peri/Menopausal Weight Loss

The Ageless and Awesome Podcast ·

2026/03/02

Burnout from “eat less, move more” is not a character flaw - it is a mismatch with midlife biology. In this week's episode, I dig into a calmer, smarter way to lose weight and feel steady in peri and post menopause by rebuilding the foundations your hormones can tolerate. That means consistent protein, colourful anti-inflammatory foods, predictable meals, strength-focused training and recovery that fits real life, not a bootcamp fantasy. I share why high-intensity everything often backfires ...

Why Her Weight Loss Seems Easier

Ever feel like everyone else drops weight with a snap while you grind for every centimetre? This week on the podcast, I dig into the real reasons midlife weight loss can look easier for other women and map out a kinder, smarter path that actually works for a changing body. As hormones shift through perimenopause and menopause, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass and stress responses change the rules, so two women doing the same things can see wildly different results. We break down what’s really...

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

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

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...

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

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...

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 ...

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 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 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...
