Your HRT may be optimal, but how is the rest of your health?

HRT can be a amazing for many women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

But HRT is not a set & forget solution to your health.

I regularly see women who are on HRT but are still struggling with fatigue, low energy, brain fog, bloating and changes in digestion.

And often, i need to look beyond hormones to understand why.

Are your vitamin B12, vitamin D and iron levels where they need to be?

Has your thyroid function been investigated?

Are you eating enough protein and fibre?

Are you nourishing your gut microbiome with a wide variety of plant foods?

Your gut microbiome is also changing during midlife, and the foods you eat play an important role in supporting its diversity and function.

HRT is one tool. Your nutrition, nutrient status, thyroid and gut health matter too.

This is why I believe women deserve a more comprehensive approach to their health during midlife.

Not just treating symptoms, but understanding what else might be contributing to how they feel.

Because feeling exhausted, bloated and not quite yourself shouldn’t become your new normal.

You don’t need another practitioner telling you your results are fine.

You don’t need to feel dismissed because your practitioner doesn’t understand perimenopause.

And you don’t need to be told that an antidepressant is your only option when you’re experiencing significant mood changes alongside hormonal changes.

You need someone who will actually spend time looking at the whole picture.

Your health history
Your symptoms.
Your nutrition.
Your lifestyle.
Your blood tests.
And what is actually happening for you during this stage of life.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last month I have seen women in my clinic who didn’t feel fine. They were exhausted, sleep deprived, their energy was crashing, their mood was extremely low.
And they were feeling deflated because they had no answers.

Last week alone I saw

2 women with high fasting insulin who had been told they were fine.

2 women who had been offered antidepressants for significant mood changes, while hormone therapy had been discouraged.

3 women with very low nutrient levels who had been told their results were within range.

And every single one of these women came to me because they didn’t feel fine

This is why women need to become advocates for their own health. Ask questions. Get a second opinion. Find practitioners who understand this stage of life. And don’t stop looking for answers.

Over the last two months, I’ve supported so many women who came to me feeling like they were at their lowest. They felt depressed, lost, exhausted, bloated, sick and deeply fatigued.

Now they have an action plan and understand what is happening.They feel heard and back in control.

If you don’t feel fine, keep asking questions.
If this sounds like you, this is exactly the work I do

I’m sooo excited to be sharing this event 🙌

As we know there is so much information and misinformation about women’s health online that sometimes it’s hard to know what to listen to, what to ignore and what actually matters.

And that’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about The Midlife Health Conversation.

I’ll be joined by Dr Shaminder Kaur, GP specialising in women’s health, and Chrissy Barrett, women’s wellbeing coach specialising in movement, breathwork and nervous system support, for a really open and honest conversation about what women actually need to thrive after 40.

Three women.
Three different areas of expertise.
One very important conversation.

We’ll talk about the things I know so many women are wondering about: Hormones. Nutrition. Gut health. Movement. Strength. Stress. The nervous system. HRT. Energy. Sleep. And how to actually look after yourself as your body changes.

We’ll also be talking about what really matters not the latest trend, not another miracle supplement and definitely not another list of things to do.

And I think there is something really powerful about being able to sit in a room with experienced practitioners, ask questions, challenge some of the noise and talk about this stage of life.

If you’re a woman over 40, I’d love you to join us.

Come with your questions. Come curious. Come ready to cut through some of the noise and leave with a much clearer understanding of how you can support your health and body in midlife and beyond.

A common pattern I see so often in clinic is women trying to shift weight in midlife who are eating well and restricting calories but feeling so frustrated and confused

But what I see missing is not doing any strength training. At this stage of life, nutrition and strength training aren’t separate conversations. They go hand in hand.

Muscle is future proofing your health and
You can’t charge body composition or change your weight long term without also building muscle. It changes how your metabolism works, how your body handles insulin, how strong your bones are, and honestly, how confident you feel in your own body.

From the age of 40 your muscle is declining rapidly so your metabolic health is less efficient.

Starting strength training can feel daunting, especially if it’s new to you but there are so many programs, gyms and group classes now that are built specifically for women just getting started.

Building muscle might just be one of the best investments you make in your health this year.

Still not feeling yourself on hormone therapy?
I see so many women confused and lost in this space
Hormone therapy needs constant reviewing, understanding the messages your body is sending you and working on the foundations

What helped you six months ago might not be what your body needs today.

Hormone therapy can only do so much without the foundations in place -
strength training, optional vitamin D and a high protein and fibre diet

If you feel like what you are currently doing is not working for you, I’d love to help you figure it out.

Have you noticed your gut and digestion has changed since perimenopause?

why? Our hormones are directly linked to our gut microbiome. When hormones decline, so does our microbiome diversity. Our gut lining also becomes more permeable aka leaky which leads to all sorts of symptoms.

This means you need to be more intentional about what you’re eating in midlife.

Eating the right fibre matters. And no not just cucumber, tomato and lettuce.

If this resonates and you need support, make sure you work with someone who really knows the gut. This is exactly what I do 🙋‍♀️

You know how passionate I am about gut health and how much it influences the way we feel and every aspect of our health so I was thrilled to join on the Well Hello Anxiety podcast recently.

We dive into brain fog, anxiety, the gut–brain connection, and the simple, practical ways you can start supporting your gut health each day

There is so much in this conversation

This can be uncomfortable or it can be informative and create awareness around what matters

It does reinforce how much confusion there is about losing weight in midlife and that its not easy

You don’t need more discipline, you just need a better strategy. A plan with personalised guidance.

We need to be nourished with real food so we feel energised
We don’t need to starve ourselves or be fearful of real food
Calories matter but so does sleep, protein, fibre and resistance training
