In this final episode of season 3, I reflect on the journey so far and introduce an exciting new direction for the podcast.

Tune in to find out about my personal and professional reasons for shifting focus towards perimenopause and its myriad of challenges, from weight gain and insomnia to mood swings and nutritional confusion and overwhelm. If you're over 40 and are navigating the stressors of this life stage (but wish to thrive through it!), please tune in and get a sneak peek at the podcast’s fresh new identity: 'The Peri Pod'.

Let's dive into a balanced approach to healthy weight loss for women over 40, especially those of us navigating perimenopause.

In this solo episode, I introduce you to a dual approach to weight loss, including physical health and mental wellbeing, and challenge the stigmas surrounding weight loss and body image. I tell you why embracing BOTH aesthetic goals and mindset shifts are key to achieve sustainable, healthy, and empowering results.

Whether you’re struggling with weight gain, body image or mood swings, I think that this episode will offer a holistic view to help create lasting habits and thrive in your own skin through perimenopause and beyond. Listen in for pragmatic advice, real talk, and the encouragement to pursue your goals (unapologetically and shame-free!).

00:59 The dual approach to weight loss
02:19 Balancing physical and mental health
03:38 Embracing aesthetic goals and why it's OK to have them
09:28 Combining mindset and nutrition
14:13 Intuitive eating and its challenges
16:28 Achieving lasting weight loss and health goals

Are there changes you need to make in both your mindset and your physical habits? Share your thoughts and feedback on this dual approach – I’d love to hear from you!

In this episode, I’m chatting with pelvic health UK-based expert and author, Clare Bourne, to explore the often overlooked importance of pelvic floor health during perimenopause. Clare delves into the interconnectedness of pelvic floor muscles with overall body health and underscores why proactive and preventative measures are crucial, especially in our 40s and beyond.

From understanding the basics of pelvic floor anatomy to the role of weight lifting and exercise, and the impact of hormonal changes during menopause, taking about her book (Strong Foundations), this episode is packed with actionable tips and moments worth jotting down. Clare’s expertise shines through, and her approach to accessible women’s health care is both informative and inspiring.

I loved this episode, and will be using it as a resource for myself and my clients. If you’re a woman aged 35+, this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to maintain and improve your pelvic health, reduce symptoms of incontinence, and embrace a holistic approach to ageing proactively.

Connect with Clare via her website and Instagram. Also, check out Clare's book, Strong Foundations - highly recommend!
