18 years ago, medical menopause due to endometriosis changed my body almost overnight.
I gained 12kg.

And the things I thought should work were actually making things worse.

More running. More classes. More restriction.

When I asked for answers, doctors shrugged their shoulders.

I was told they didn’t think the weight gain or all the other symptoms had anything to do with menopause or HRT.

HRT can be helpful for some women. It just wasn’t the answer for me.

So I started searching for answers in my own body.

I learned about insulin sensitivity, cortisol, muscle loss, visceral fat and inflammation.

I changed how I trained.
I changed how I ate.
I changed how I recovered.

And slowly, my body started responding again.

That search eventually became the foundation of my HOT Method.

Hormone Optimising Training and flexible nutrition that works with your changing body.

If this sounds familiar and you’re tired of guessing what your body needs, comment/DM HORMONES.

Let’s talk about how I can support you to feel like yourself again.

Bloating after 40 isn’t always what you think.

There are three types that hit women hardest at this stage:

Hormonal — oestrogen fluctuations cause water retention, especially in perimenopause.

Digestive — declining progesterone slows gut motility, food sits longer and ferments.

HRT-related — synthetic oestrogen and progestogens trigger water retention and slow digestion.

The fix isn’t eating less, it’s supporting your body to flush excess fluid and calm inflammation.

Dandelion root, vitamin C and rosehip do that naturally.

7KG DOWN IN HIS 30s WITHOUT GIVING UP HIS SOCIAL LIFE 🍻

Reuben had a busy job, a full social calendar and regular nights out, which made consistency difficult.

He was eating healthily but not seeing the body composition changes he wanted, and being mostly vegetarian made getting enough protein harder.

So we used our HOT Method — hormone-optimising training combined with flexible nutrition and built everything around his lifestyle.

⭐️ Flexible nutrition helped him stay on track at home, eating out and on nights out, without weighing or tracking a single gram

⭐️ Home based resistance training removed the need to fit gym trips into an already busy schedule

⭐️ Personalised coaching helped us adjust the plan around his lifestyle regularly while keeping him progressing

The result?

I’d change just the results section to:

The result?

7kg down, a leaner and more defined physique, with visible abs and noticeably more muscle definition, all without giving up his social life.

If you’re struggling to get results around a busy schedule and full social calendar, DM “READY” for more info about how we can build a plan around your life.

Cutting carbs hard can make the scale drop fast.

Part of that early change can come from lower glycogen and the water stored with it. That is not the same as losing more body fat.

Carbs also help fuel harder training and replenish glycogen.

If your carb intake and overall food intake are too low for your training demands, fatigue can hit sooner, recovery can suffer, and your sessions can start feeling much harder.

Add perimenopause, where sleep, energy, memory and concentration may already be changing,
and more restriction can leave you feeling worse
rather than getting you closer to the result you want.

The goal is balance.
Enough protein. Enough fibre. Enough fats.
Enough carbs to support your body, training and recovery.

Comment or DM CARBS if you want to learn how I approach creating that balance without cutting carbs or living on restriction.

You’re doing everything right.
⁣
Training harder. Eating healthier. Trying to stay consistent.
⁣
But your body just isn’t responding like it used to.
⁣
Your body has changed, but your strategy hasn’t caught up yet.
⁣
After 35, shifts in hormones, stress, sleep and recovery can change how your body responds to diet and training.
⁣
So eating less and training more isn’t always the answer.
⁣
You push harder, progress slows, cravings rise, energy drops… then one busy week, trip or family occasion hits and it feels like all your progress is gone.
⁣
The women I work with stopped fighting their bodies and started working with them.
⁣
The result? 👇
⁣
Stronger. Leaner. More confident. And able to maintain their progress even when life gets busy.
⁣

8kg down at 49 in menopause 💪

Vanessa, a physiotherapist juggling long shifts, holidays and orienteering races, shares her story from doctor’s visit to finally seeing results that stuck.

8kg down at 49 in menopause 💪
Vanessa is a physiotherapist with a packed schedule, fitting in travel, orienteering races and holidays around her long days at work.

She’d tried everything…
Herbalife.
Intermittent fasting.
Low carb diets.

Without any obvious reason the weight kept creeping on, and nothing she tried could shift it.

She went to her doctor to find out why, and discovered she was heading into menopause.

She was stuck, so she came to us for real results.

We created a plan that:
⭐️ Fit her demanding schedule
⭐️ Used strategic nutrition, not hours in the kitchen
⭐️ Allowed holidays and races away
⭐️ Worked with her hormones instead of against them

Now she’s:
8kg lighter.
Stronger.
Feeling confident in her bikini again.
Managing to keep her results through every holiday and race.

School holidays are winding down, and September is nearly here. It’s the perfect moment to get ahead and get back to your routine.

If you’re 40+ and feel like nothing is working anymore, it’s often because the old methods don’t support your hormones.

Don’t believe everything you see on social media… especially about fruit 🍓

I’ve had people come to me after being told by coaches or social media to cut fruit…
like that was the missing piece.

Let’s clean this up:

The “too much sugar” panic?
That’s mainly about added sugar.

General guidance sits around 25–50g per day depending on the person.
Not zero. Not “never touch sugar again.”

Now fruit:

Fruit brings fiber, vitamins, hydration, antioxidants
→ supports digestion
→ helps energy levels
→ keeps you fuller for longer

Very different story.

Most guidelines?
Around 2–3 portions a day is completely normal.

If fruit was the issue…
we’d all be struggling because of apples. Not biscuits.

Cutting it usually just leads to more restriction… then cravings later.

Eat the fruit.
Stop fearing the wrong things.
