If there's one thing I never want my clients to do...
..it's spend their holiday worrying about food.

Life's too short.

I'm going on holiday to make memories with my family, eat amazing food and have a break from real life.

Not to count calories or feel guilty every time I order dessert.

People often assume that because I'm a nutrition coach, I spend my holidays eating grilled chicken and salad.

I absolutely don't.

I'll happily have the pizza.

The pasta.

The Aperol.

The tiramisu.

But here's the thing...

I also genuinely love fresh fish, juicy tomatoes, colourful salads and fruit that actually tastes like fruit.

So I eat what the hell I like.

Sometimes that's grilled sea bass and vegetables.

Sometimes it's pizza and chips.

Most days, it's a bit of both.

That's what balance looks like to me.

Would I rather a client came home 5lb heavier after an amazing holiday than spend the whole week worrying about every mouthful?

Honestly...

Yes.

Because those memories are worth far more than five pounds.

That said, I don't think those are the only two options.

I think you can enjoy every pizza, Aperol and gelato and come home feeling energised rather than sluggish.

No guilt.

No "starting again on Monday."

No holiday detox.

Just getting back into your usual routine and cracking on.

Because healthy eating isn't about what you do for one week in the sunshine.

It's about what you do most of the time when you get home.

Losing the weight isn't what worries most women on GLP-1 injections.

It's what happens afterwards.

Emma had already lost an incredible 4 stone on NHS Wegovy.

Then the weight loss stopped.

Like so many women, she couldn't shake one question...

"What if I put it all back on?"

And honestly...

I don't blame her.

Because the injections can reduce your appetite.

They don't build habits.

That's why, instead of obsessing over breaking the plateau, we focused on something much bigger.

✔️ Improving her nutrition.

✔️ Eating enough protein and fibre.

✔️ Protecting her muscle.

✔️ Protecting her bones.

✔️ Building habits she'd still have long after Wegovy.

The result?

Yes... the plateau moved.

Yes... she lost more weight.

But the biggest transformation wasn't on the scales.

It was hearing her say:

"I finally feel in control instead of stuck in the cycle of dieting and starting again."

That's why I call GLP-1s a golden window.

A chance to build habits while food noise is quieter.

Whether you stay on the injections long term...

Or eventually come off them...

Those habits are what will stay with you.

If you're on GLP-1s and want to use this golden window to protect your muscle, improve your nutrition and give yourself the best chance of keeping the weight off, I'd love to help.

Confession...

I specialise in helping women lose weight and reduce symptoms in perimenopause...
..and I proudly do every single thing in this carousel.

I don't avoid seed oils (there is nothing wrong with them).

I drink coffee before breakfast.

I don't lift heavy weights. Although I would love to be able to.

I eat pizza, banana bread and crisps, completely guilt free.

And I don't buy every supplement Instagram tells me I need.

If that made you clutch your matcha...

We should probably talk.

Somewhere along the way, nutrition became exhausting (and expensive!).

Every week there's a new food to fear.

A new supplement to buy.

A new rule to follow.

A new influencer telling women they're doing it all wrong.

Honestly...

No wonder so many women in perimenopause feel overwhelmed.

The truth is...

I don't help my clients lose weight, reduce symptoms and future-proof their health by giving them more rules.

I help them focus on the things that genuinely move the needle.

✔️ Plenty of vegetables.

✔️ Enough protein.

✔️ Fibre.

✔️ Resistance training that suits their body.

✔️ Good sleep (when life allows!).

✔️ Stress management.

✔️ Filling genuine nutritional gaps where needed.

And then the mindset work to make it a permanent habit.

Nothing sexy.

Nothing viral.

Just habits backed by evidence that actually fit into real life.

Because I'd much rather help a woman lose weight and keep it off for the next 20 years...
..than help her follow the latest wellness trend for the next 20 days.

If you've followed me for a while, you'll know this is exactly how I coach.

Less fear.

More evidence.

Less perfection.

More consistency.

Because healthy eating shouldn't feel like a full-time job.

And if you're a woman navigating perimenopause who's tired of conflicting advice, wellness fads and being told there's a new rule every five minutes...

Give me a follow The Midlife Reset

Around here, we keep nutrition evidence-based, realistic and built for real life.

If your periods seem to be kicking your bum a lot more in perimenopause...it isn't all in your head.

I honestly used to fly through my periods.

Now?

For me, Day 1 can feel like I've been hit by a bus.

Anxiety rears its ugly head out of nowhere.

I could quite happily eat a scabby horse on toast.

My beloved dressing gown becomes my emotional support dressing gown.

And if everyone could just leave me alone until further notice...

That would be lovely.

The interesting thing is...

There is actually a reason for it.

Puberty and perimenopause are the two biggest periods of hormonal change in a woman's life. During perimenopause, your hormones fluctuate much more dramatically than they used to, and when your period arrives, both oestrogen and progesterone are at their lowest.

For some women (me included), that's when period pain, anxiety, cravings and feeling generally rubbish can hit the hardest.

The biggest thing I've changed over the last few years isn't trying to push through it...

It's working with my body instead.

For me that looks like eating a little more rather than less, making sure my meals are full of protein, fibre and nourishing foods, getting outside if I can and lowering the bar for a couple of days.

And that's okay.

One thing that never changes though?

My breakfast.

Even when I feel rubbish, it's still packed with protein, fibre, magnesium-rich foods and B vitamins because it's one of the simplest ways I can support my body through those tougher days.

I'd love to know...

Have your periods become much harder in perimenopause than they used to be?

And if you'd like some of my favourite hormone-friendly breakfasts...

The women who tell me they're waking at 3am almost never stop there.

Within a few minutes they'll usually say...

"I'm anxious."

"My patience has disappeared."

"I'm exhausted...but my brain won't switch off."

"I'm gaining belly fat that isn't budging for love nor money."

(Which, frankly, nobody ordered.)

"I just don't feel like myself anymore."

Now...

Can we have a little chat about cortisol?

Because social media has gone blinking cortisol mad lately.

Do I think it's been overblown?

Yes.

Do I also think cortisol matters?

Absolutely.

As we lose progesterone and oestrogen during perimenopause, our cortisol baseline naturally starts creeping up too.

So when a woman tells me she's waking at 3am...

She's anxious...

Her fuse is much shorter than it used to be...

She's feeling wired but exhausted...

And the weight is creeping up around her middle...

Cortisol is one of the first things I look at.

Not because I think it's causing every menopause symptom.

It isn't.

But because for this particular pattern of symptoms, it's often one of the biggest drivers.

So we need to get that cortisol lower and you feeling better. This can be things like:

Morning sunlight.

Exercise.

Enough protein and fibre.

Not skipping meals (because that's another stress on the body).

Giving your nervous system little pockets of calm during the day.

Setting boundaries and telling people to bu**er off once in a while. We don't need to say yes to every request and invite if it drains us.

Because for this symptom pattern...

Looking after yourself isn't just self-care.

It's one way of helping to manage your hormones.

Your symptoms aren't random.

They're clues.

The trick is knowing which clues belong together.

Comment ROADMAP and I'll send you my free Symptom Reduction Roadmap, where I explain the four symptom patterns I look at first and the simple steps you can take to start feeling like yourself again.
