Is your body trying to tell you something?

Sometimes small symptoms are your body asking for a little extra support.

• Cold hands or feet – iron
• Low appetite – zinc
• Dry eyes – vitamin A
• Shortness of breath – iron
• Hair shedding – iron
• Dry mouth – vitamin A
• Brittle nails – biotin (B7)
• Tired all day – vitamin D
• Low mood – vitamin B6
• Brain fog – omega-3
• Leg cramps – magnesium
• Tingling in hands or feet – vitamin B12
• Slow healing cuts – vitamin C
• Pale skin – iron
• Frequent headaches – magnesium
• Poor concentration – vitamin B12

Listen to your body, it often whispers before it shouts!

Before you cut calories...

I talk to so many women who feel stuck, and their first instinct is almost always to cut the calories.

We’ve been conditioned to think that very low calories is the only way to see progress, but what if progress comes from actually eating more of the right thing?

Research shows that most midlife women are averaging about 70g of protein a day. Research however is very clear and that 70g is well below what we actually need to thrive and maintain our metabolism.

The science on this is honestly so empowering because it proves we don’t always have to restrict to see a change.

In recent studies, when women increased their protein intake as the only change to their routine, so no extra gym sessions and no calorie cutting, they preserved their lean muscle and lost body fat!

This is proof that protein alone, with no other changes, can completely shift your body composition in a positive direction.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking into the habits of the leanest, strongest women in their 40s and 50s, and the one thing they all have in common is a really good protein intake.

I’ve noticed this exact same thing in my own journey, too. When I’m hitting around 120g compared to 100g, there is a visible difference in my muscle definition and how I feel.

So, before you start cutting your calories drastically low, first try reaching for more protein instead. Trust me your muscles and your energy levels will thank you for it!

Don’t just train.
Train for a reason.

Let’s be honest for a second...

As a woman, I train because I want to fit into clothes I love.
I train because I want to be happy with my reflection in the mirror.
I train because it helps me manage my weight.
I train for me, not to prove anything to anyone else.

But the truly amazing thing about strength training is

* It boosts my mood and clears my head.
* It strengthens my bones and protects my joints.
* The muscle I gain keeps my metabolism fired up.
* Working through a full range of motion keeps me mobile and independent.
* Gaining strength ensures longevity, not just living longer, but living well.

I train because I only have one body, and I plan on keeping it as strong as I can, for as long as I can. 💪

Why I always have a big glass of water first thing...

Before the coffee, before the chaotic morning rush, and before I check my phone, I always down a big glass of water.

If you’re looking to feel more vibrant, this one tiny habit is a total game changer!

Here is why it’s a non-negotiable for me:

It kick starts my day: Think of your body like a car on a cold morning. You’ve just spent 7 or 8 hours “parked” (sleeping) and you’re naturally dehydrated. Water is the spark plug that wakes up your metabolism and gets your internal systems moving.

It flushes my system: Overnight, your body is busy repairing itself and clearing out “metabolic waste.” That first glass of water acts like a gentle rinse, helping your kidneys flush everything out so you start the day with a clean slate.

Its a great energy boost: Many of us reach for caffeine because we feel “groggy,” but often that grogginess is just mild dehydration. Drinking water first thing hydrates your brain, lifting the fog before the caffeine even hits.

Its really helps your digestion: It wakes up your digestive tract gently. If you struggle with feeling “sluggish” or bloated, hydration is the best way to keep things moving smoothly.   

My Morning Rule: “Water before coffee.”
I don’t let myself have my beloved coffee until I’ve finished at least 500ml of water.

It’s such a simple but effective thing that really ensures I start the day of right :)

Give it a try!

As a coach it is my job to ensure that I help my clients to get the best possible results.

Like many women covid saw me totally falling off track.

I wanted to show you that if you are feeling the way I did then, that it is totally possible to change.

You can become leaner, fitter, stronger and happier, you just need to know how.

Having done this myself you must

Stop
– Under eating
– Doing so much cardio
– Avoiding lifting heavy weights
– Accepting weight gain as ‘just ageing’

And

Start
✔️ Strength training
✔️ Increasing Protein to protect muscle
✔️ Prioritising Recovery
✔️ Eating in a moderate calorie deficit (not starvation)
✔️ Educating yourself so that you understand your body

This is how I coach my clients

🎄 Keep Up the Momentum This Festive Season! 🎄

As we dive into the festive period, it’s tempting to slow down and let our fitness routines take a backseat. But now is actually the time you should be ramping up your training instead of pulling back and here is why!!

🎄Maintain Your Progress: You’ve worked incredibly hard all year to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals. Consistent training ensures you maintain all that progress and will stop you losing all the gains you’ve made.

🎄Boost Your Mood: The festive period can be stressful. Regular exercise releases endorphins that help reduce stress and keeps your spirits high.

🎄Manage Indulgence: Yes, you should enjoy the festive season but maintaining your training regime means you can indulge without the guilt! Remember, it’s okay to enjoy those special meals at social events, but get back to your normal eating habits the very next day.

🎄Stay Energized: Keeping active will help you stay energized and stop that horrible sluggish feeling that often comes with overindulgence and inactivity.

🎄Build Momentum for the New Year: By maintaining your training & nutrition routine all the way through December, you’ll hit January with momentum, making it so much easier to set and achieve new goals.

🎄My Top Nutrition Tips during the festive season:
➡️Maintain your regular eating habits.
➡️Indulge moderately at social events.
➡️Manage your portions!
➡️Always return to your healthy eating routine the next day.

Remember, consistency is key!

Keep pushing forward right through December and finish the year strong! 💪

Wishing you all a wonderful festive season, and see you at the gym!
