Hey everyone, this week's podcast is with the very knowledgeable Dinah Siman of Menopause Pilates.

If you have ever felt let down by your body through injury or pain, this podcast is going to give you the information and some tools to overcome that.

Dinah explains why we get wear and tear and what that means, as well as, why we may experience aches and pains as we age.  She gives some excellent advice on how to work through pain and be able to move more fluidly, stay supple, strong and safe in your movement. 

She explains the role of oestrogen and testosterone on inflammation and how she over came her own issues.  Do have a listen, I think you'll learn a lot about how to look after yourself and your precious body.

So much good stuff in this episode. I think you'll find it really inspirational.

It’s all about how to help your gut along, especially if the foods you love are not loving you back anymore. 

Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, cramps can be all too common in midlife.

Emma Ellice Flint, a nutritionist, chef, author and someone who knows a lot about how food affects the gut, shares her advice on how to get yours back in shape, have a flat tummy and experience all the advantages that go along with a happy, healthy gut.  Improved energy, stable moods, good skin, hair and nails can all manifest from a healthy digestive tract and microbiome.  

We discuss how to get started on prepping a gut loving meal, and Emma shares her top tips on layering up your plate or your pan.  Emma explains how dietary changes can take up to 3 months or so before you realise how settled your gut has become and how much better you feel in yourself. 

We also discuss how timings can be crucial for the gut and how to get it right for you as an individual, as well as, the importance of the ESTROBOLOME - what is it, and how can it help us and our oestrogen balance.

Plus how our gut microbes influence our bone health and how they help us mineralise our bones and keep them strong - as you know all important as we go through menopause and beyond.

Finally she helps you consider what you put on your plate, foods that will love you back and give you and your microbiome all it needs to flourish.

This week I'm sharing everything I learnt from my trip to Japan. 

The Japanese women are really the poster women for menopause and healthy ageing - let me share with you, why I think this is. 

Japan is such a fascinating, beautiful and inspiring country.  Come have a listen and explore their diet, culture and lifestyle and what we can learn from them and use in our own lifestyles.

I'll be talking about

The food, why it's so healthy and unprocessed

How come they eat so much white rice but are still healthy, slim and energetic

What kind of foods they eat and how we can mimic this in our own diets

Why soya and phytoestrogens can be really helpful in midlife and beyond

Why green and matcha tea is a good addition to your beverages and what is the difference between the two
oops - I said steep at 180degreeC but meant 180F - so there's no confusion steep at 80 degreesC or at least a bit cooler than boiling!

Why we felt so light and energised whilst there

Why relaxing and de-stressing is so much a part of their culture

How their female friendship groups, moai's positively influence their health 

How they take care of their skin and look so ageless

How we can make our diet much simpler and unprocessed

What they take regular Onsens and forest bathe

Why they age so well

This week, I talk to Rebekah Brown, founder of the award winning MPowder - a supplement formula that has been designed specifically for midlife women like us.

Rebekah shares her story on how she got her company up and running a few years ago, and why she believes supplement formulas can be really useful in perimenopause and postmenopause.  We also chat about how she found the energy and motivation to do this during the midst of lockdown and crippling perimenopause symptoms.

What impressed me about Rebekah is how balanced and informed she is and how her approach is to help educate women, share her own discoveries, and support women, whether they take her supplement formulas or not.   

We also discuss how important it is to support other women and what a fantastic resource we can be for each other.

If you'd like to give MPowder a try, you can use the following discount code, and even if you're not in the slightest bit interested in taking supplements, I believe you will still benefit from listening to this podcast.

I personally have been using MPowder MenoBoost, but there are three other formulas - you can find out more here:

In this episode I chat to a colleague and exceptional personal trainer, Emma Tytherleigh of Joyful Menopause.

We discuss how to improve your energy,  mood, strength and how well you age by building in more movement into your life.

Emma has lots of great advice on how to easily incorporate daily movement,  even if you're starting from scratch.  We discuss building in a commute if you're working from home, why weights or moving your body against gravity like walking up hills or with a rucksack can all pay into your all important health pension. 

If you're in need of some motivation and some easy ideas to get you started then you really don't want to miss this one.

Kerensa's story of how and why she lost 60 kilos in less than 2 years is so incredibly compelling that I know you're going to really enjoy this episode.

Kerensa, shares her story with such vulnerability and honesty that I believe it will be  inspiring to many women.   

She not only shares how she gained the weight but also goes on to explain the techniques she used for losing it.  We discuss  intermittent fasting, staying strong, being consistent and the importance of understanding your 'why'.

If you've ever struggled with your weight or even if you're someone who would like to understand what it feels like to be overweight,  then do have a listen.

Hello and welcome to my new podcast.

In this first episode I'll be discussing how to eat in a way that will help you take control of your cravings and give you the nutrients you need on a daily basis - it's back to basics.

The Feel Good four is a simple method of ensuring you're getting the nutrition that your body requires each time you sit down to eat.  This easy concept will help you make the right choices, help you feel fuller for longer and ensure you're getting enough protein, fats, plant foods and complex carbohydrates to support your body and mind in midlife. 

This is one of the concepts I based my book around, Feel Good For Menopause, because it's such an easy way of staying on top of your diet, being consistent, balancing your blood sugar and giving you sustained energy to live your life to the full.   

If you're in need of some motivation and understanding of how to eat better - you have come to the right place.

If you'd like to work with me or just to stay in touch then do email or follow me on instagram.  Bye for now.
