A reminder to my midlife friends today that skipping meals and not eating is NOT how we play the midlife game. It is so important to prioritise our nutrition, so here is a little reminder why it can be hard.

Everywhere you look right now, there’s a new "biohack" promising to fix midlife metabolism, clear brain fog, and accelerate fat loss. But how much of it is actually backed by science, and how much is just clever marketing?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own health experiments. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been testing two of the biggest trends in the health space: Ketone-IQ shots and Vively continuous blood trackers.

I am breaking down exactly how my body responded, what the data showed, and my final verdict as a sports nutritionist on whether you should actually spend your hard-earned money on them.

In this episode, we cover:

The Ketone Craze: The science behind exogenous ketones and my honest review of Ketone-IQ.

Tracking from the Inside Out: What I learned about my metabolic health by tracking my blood markers with Vively.

Shiny Object Syndrome: How to navigate the overwhelming world of midlife health trends without wasting time or money.

The Non-Negotiables: Why you absolutely shouldn't invest in advanced biohacks until you master the fundamentals—like hitting your 30g daily fiber goal, prioritizing high-protein meals, and lifting weights.

If you are a woman over 40 wanting to cut through the noise and build a body that feels energetic, strong, and capable, this episode is for you.

GLP1's are the talk of the town, they are everywhere and everyone seems to be using them now. What do I think about it? I'm going to give you some of my opinons.

Wendy is 76, she is in my Thrive Forward community and she inspires me every week. I wanted to chat with her and talk through what she's doing and what motivates her, so it might motivate you too. The old narative is no longer relevant, and I am like Wendy, I want to live my best life. Enjoy this chat.

Enter Vanessa, the genius founder of Fodbods—hands down my absolute favourite protein bars.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Vanessa to dig into why standard protein bars wreck our guts, how she engineered a clean, allergen-friendly, low-FODMAP certified alternative that actually tastes incredible, and what it really takes to build a health-first brand from the ground up.

🌱 The science behind gut-friendly ingredients (and what to look for on a label).

🍫 How to fuel your active lifestyle without sacrificing your digestive health.
