Bloating that was never there before. Constipation that comes and goes. Foods you’ve eaten for years suddenly not agreeing with you.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, it’s easy to put it all down to hormones. But that’s only half the story.

Your gut helps decide how much estrogen you keep. A group of gut bacteria called the estrobolome can recycle estrogen your body has already used and send it back into circulation. As your ovaries slow down, that matters more, not less.

The good news? The gut is the part you can actually work on.

Five habits to start this week:
1. One serving of soy a day
2. Two tablespoons of ground flaxseed
3. 30 different plants a week, plus a fermented food daily
4. Enough protein: 1.6–2 g per kg of body weight
5. Lift weights twice a week

Save this for later, and send it to someone who needs it 🤍

These habits support medical care, they don’t replace it. If your symptoms are affecting your day-to-day life, speak to your GP about your options, including HRT.

I get asked about sleep supplements more than almost anything else. So here’s the honest version.

Most of the research on them is small, mixed and often paid for by the people selling them. A few do have decent evidence behind them: magnesium, glycine and saffron. A few are mostly marketing. And if you’re in the UK, ignore the American melatonin advice. It’s prescription-only here.

But here’s the bit nobody wants to hear. No capsule outworks morning daylight, a consistent wake time and a cool, dark bedroom. Get those right and you might not need anything else.

If you do want to try something, test it properly. Use one at a time, start with the lowest amount, give it a week, and buy products that are independently tested. On medication or pregnant? Speak to your GP first.

Save this for the next time someone sends you a “miracle” sleep gummy 👊

Bad night’s sleep? Before you reach for the third coffee, try lying on the floor for 20 minutes. 😴

It’s called NSDR, short for non-sleep deep rest. You lie still, stay awake, and follow a guided recording that slows your breathing and switches your body right down.

No grogginess. No hit to tonight’s sleep. Free, and almost impossible to get wrong.

I use it with clients for four things:
→ A rough night (20–30 mins, first thing)
→ The afternoon slump, especially if naps leave you groggy
→ Lying in bed with a busy head
→ Waking at 3am and not getting back off

What it won’t do is replace sleep. You’ll see claims that 30 minutes is “worth” 2 hours. There’s no good evidence for that. It helps you cope with less sleep, it doesn’t cancel the debt.

So fix the night first, and keep this in your back pocket for the days you can’t.

Search “NSDR” or “yoga nidra” on YouTube or Spotify, press play, phone face down. 📵

Save this for your next rough night, and send it to someone running on empty. 🙌

Chicken, rice and broccoli. Every day. Hits the protein, and you’re raiding the biscuit tin by 3pm.

The problem usually isn’t the protein. It’s everything around it.

A lunch that holds you through the afternoon needs structure, not a recipe. Five parts:

→ A quality carb. Quinoa, brown rice, sweet potato.
→ Greens and colour. Rocket, kale or spinach, plus something bright.
→ A fibre booster. Edamame, chickpeas, black beans. This is the slot most people skip.
→ A core protein. My rule of thumb: more than 25g of protein per 100g. Fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh.
→ A sauce. Otherwise it’s dry and you won’t want it on day three.

Swap any slot and it’s a different lunch. Same effort.
The fibre booster is the one I’d push hardest. The UK recommendation is 30g of fibre a day (SACN, 2015), and most adults sit well below it. Lunch is one of the easiest places to close that gap.

Credit where it’s due, the formula and bowls are built on Dr Rupy Aujla

We have pulled them into one guide with the method for each.

Save this for Sunday.

Five foods a gut specialist eats most days. Not one of them is a supplement.

Gut health has been sold to us as something you buy, a powder, a capsule, a subscription. It isn’t. Most people in the UK are eating around 18g of fibre a day against a 30g recommendation, and no supplement is closing that gap for you.

What closes it is boring, cheap and repeatable. Kiwi. Broccoli sprouts. Chia. Kefir. Chickpeas. Each one doing a specific job, fibre, polyphenols, healthy fats, live cultures and none of them costing you more than a normal food shop.

I’ve put the three recipes and all five foods into a two-page guide.

Print it, stick it on the fridge, stop overthinking breakfast.

Comment GUT and I’ll send it over.

You don’t believe your coach. You believe yourself.

Fourteen years on the floor taught me this the hard way: I can tell a client the right thing a hundred times and watch nothing change.

Then one day they say it back to me, in their own words and suddenly it sticks for good.

That’s the whole job. Not nagging you into compliance that dies the moment I stop watching.

Asking the right questions so you arrive at the answer, because that’s the only version you’ll actually keep doing.

A coach who nags gets you to week three. A coach who helps you understand gets you to a different body and keeps you there.

Understanding is what makes it automatic.

Most gyms hand you a programme. We hand you a standard. Before the weight ever goes up, your ex*****on has to earn it — and the real test is never rep one, it’s the last one. This is the progression every single HB client is coached to, whether you’re in the studio or online. Does your current training follow a progression like this? YES or NO 👇

A huge shoutout to Kaushal who has just completed his fat loss phase and is now moving into a reverse diet.

What makes this result impressive isn’t just the physical transformation, it’s the consistency behind it.

This is what sustainable fat loss looks like.

Kaushal didn’t get here through a detox, a cleanse, a magic supplement or endless hours of cardio.

He got here through consistency.

Over the last few months he:
✅ Tracked his food consistently
✅ Hit his protein targets
✅ Kept his daily activity high
✅ Continued training despite work stress and a few injuries
✅ Stayed patient when progress felt slow

The scale doesn’t always tell the full story.

His bodyweight changed by only a few kilograms, but the difference in his physique tells a completely different story. Smaller waist, flatter stomach, more muscle definition and a leaner, healthier body composition.

The best part?

This wasn’t achieved through extremes. It was achieved in a way that can be maintained.

Now we’re finishing the fat loss phase and moving into a reverse diet to improve recovery, increase performance in the gym and create a physique that’s easier to maintain long term.

Fat loss isn’t about suffering forever.

It’s about creating a body and lifestyle you can keep.

Amazing work Kaushal 👏

The 5 questions every new enquiry asks. And the honest answers.

Q1: “How much does it cost?”

→ Group Coaching: £179/mo (small groups, up to 6 people, full 4 Pillar system)
→ Semi-Private Premium: £279/mo (2–3 people, more individual attention)
→ 1-to-1 Private: from £297/mo (fully personalised, just you and your coach)
→ Online Coaching: from £147/mo (same system, same app, same weekly check-ins, remote)

The real question: what’s it costing you NOT to invest in your health?

Q2: “How often do I need to train?”

3x per week. 45 minutes. That’s 2 hours 15 minutes out of 168 hours in a week. Less than 2% of your week. You have the time.

Q3: “Do I need to eat clean?”

No. When calories and protein are matched, all diets produce identical fat loss. No foods are banned. 10–20% of your daily calories can come from foods you enjoy. Every day. We set your targets. You choose the food.

Q4: “I’ve tried everything. Will this be different?”

Probably. Most coaches address 1 or 2 pillars. We address all 4: training, nutrition, sleep, and stress. Most programmes give you a plan and disappear. We give personalised feedback every single week. Most diets end. Ours includes a reverse diet plan so you keep the results.

If you’ve tried everything except a system that addresses all 4 pillars — you haven’t tried everything.

Q5: “What if I can’t make it to the studio?”

We have online coaching from £147/mo. Same system. Same custom-built app. Same weekly check-ins. Same personalised coach feedback. The only difference is location. You can be anywhere in the UK.

The only question left: are you ready?

You know the pricing. You know the time commitment. You know the approach. Now it’s just a decision.

💬 Which question did YOU have? 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

This 10-second test predicts your longevity risk.

Brazilian and American researchers tested 2,002 adults aged 51–80. Over 6 years, those who couldn’t get up and down from the floor without support had significantly higher mortality risk.

Score yourself out of 10. Subtract 1 point for every support used — hand, forearm, knee, side of leg.

10 → you’re moving well. Keep it.
7–9 → balance and hip mobility work needed.
3–6 → prioritise this now.
0–2 → your body is giving you a clear signal.

Try it. DM me your score.
