Do hot flushes keep you awake at night? Are you a stressed-out mess riding the anxiety rollercoaster? Are you frustrated that no matter what you do you can’t seem to lose weight? Do your low energy levels frustrate you and make you feel irritable? Is organisation hard because brain fog is getting the better of you? Hey friend! I’m S J, I am a nutrition coach and personal trainer for menopausal women. When I hit 40 it was like a switch had flicked in my body. I felt like I had lost all sense of who I was, I had put on weight, had no energy, I struggled with brain fog and mood swings. All that changed when I started to learn about more about hormones and perimenopause. I realised I needed to start changing my approach to my health, fitness and nutrition as my hormones were changing. I learnt how-to live-in harmony with my hormones to help me achieve healthy sustainable weight loss and to understand how our hormones impact every area of our life. I learnt how to balance my hormones to reduce stress and how to harness their power to make the best use of my time. Now I want to pass all my secrets on to you. Having worked in the fitness space for many years it was obvious that women like you and I were being overlooked. The traditional approach to nutrition and fitness doesn’t work for our bodies as our hormones are changing so I trained to become a Menopause Nutritionist and Personal Trainer. In this podcast you will find all the tools you need to help you lose weight, balance your hormones, boost your metabolism, feel more energised, beat the brain fog, handle the mood swings, and start feeling more like YOU again! I’m so excited to keep you accountable, be your coach, give you some tough, love you and laugh with you. Let’s come together and make things happen!

Hey Mumma
I know how good you are at looking everyone else and that your needs often get put to the bottom of the pile.
That is why throughout the month of August I am talking self-care.. but not the self-care you are thinking!
I want to change the narrative around self-care. Self care is. not all bubble baths and face masks. I think it is about the things you can do on a daily basis to self-care so that you don't reach burnout.
Having a monthly massage is great but you need to be looking after you on a daily basis so show up your best in your motherhood, business and relationships.

Hey Mumma
You know when you look back to your twenties pre baby and you think how lucky you were not to have to watch every morsel that you put into you mouth? Do you wish you could better understand why it is so much harder to lose weight now you are closer to 40 than 20?
I hate fad diets and I was really reluctant to try gluten free because I did not want to be that person asking for gluten free. We also grow wheat on the farm and it felt a bit disloyal too!
But the past 30 days i have tried gluten to free to see if it had an impact on my weight and my energy levels and guess what... it did!
If you are approaching 40 and struggling to lose weight like me when you haven't changed anything in your diet i would highly recommend giving it a go! It is not rocket science really when we think about it...
Natural unprocessed foods help us to feel more energised and help us lose weight quicker. Taking gluten out of your diet is just eating cleaner so when it help me lose weight and helped me feel more energised I was not really surprised!
In this episode i share how to implement it into your healthy eating plan and some of my top tips for this.

Have a fab week!
