In this episode you’ll discover:

✔ Where sugar is hiding in everyday foods

✔ Why sugar hits harder after 50 (especially during peri- and post-menopause)

✔ How insulin, hormones, and energy are connected

✔ The truth about artificial sweeteners

✔ Smarter sweetener and carb choices for stable energy

As we age, changes in oestrogen, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity make blood sugar regulation more challenging. This is why the same foods you tolerated at 30 can now lead to energy crashes, belly fat, and cravings. You’ll also learn what the World Health Organisation recommends for daily sugar intake — and why drinks are the biggest hidden sugar trap.

This is not about cutting sugar completely. It’s about learning how to fuel smart, support your metabolism, and create stable energy and sustainable weight after 50.

January weight loss doesn’t need extremes, detoxes, or punishment.

In this episode, I share 6 simple, science-based habits that help you lose weight sustainably — especially if you’re over 40 or 50. We talk about awareness over calorie counting, why processed foods make fat loss harder, how meal timing affects metabolism, the importance of protein, smarter carb timing, and why 30 minutes of daily movement is enough to see results.

This is a realistic, supportive reset after the holidays — designed to help you build habits that actually last.

🎧 Small choices, done daily, create real results.

In this follow-up to “Let’s Talk About Menopause,” we go deeper into why menopause symptoms happen and what’s truly going on inside the body during this transition. We break down the three phases — Perimenopause, Menopause, and Post-Menopause — and explore the hormonal shifts that influence mood, sleep, energy, metabolism, and body composition.

But this episode goes beyond biology. We talk about the mental and emotional shift required to move through menopause with confidence, clarity, and self-compassion. This is not a decline — it’s a new beginning.

If you’re experiencing changes you can’t explain, feeling disconnected from your body, or simply want to understand your health better, this episode is here to support and guide you.

Key Takeaways:

• Menopause is a natural biological transition, not a disease.
• Symptoms happen because of predictable hormonal changes.
• Understanding your body puts you back in control.
• Aging is not an ending — it’s an opportunity to live more intentionally.
• Your mindset becomes one of your most valuable wellness tools.

Healthy choices today are the foundation for a strong, vibrant tomorrow.
