Stress getting the better of you?
With everything going on in our busy lives, we can experience a good deal of stress.
The extra challenge we face as we get older is that our ability to deal with stress can be reduced by a lack of solid restorative sleep, and our changing hormone levels.
Our stress hormones are closely aligned with our reproductive hormones, with impacts on both serotonin (our mood stabiliser hormone) and cortisol (our chronic stress hormone).
For cortisol levels to remain high, our body uses progesterone. This can impact the balance of our reproductive hormones, including oestrogen and testosterone.
The impact: we can feel anxious or unnecessarily worried, and some may experience unpredictable and distressing mood swings.
Getting a good night sleep will go a long way to reducing the impacts of stress in our lives. Check out my FREE guide that shares the months of research I've undertaken to unlock some of the keys to great sleep (as well as stopping the stacking on of belly fat while we sleep).

Is your liver keeping you awake?
If it’s a bit unhealthy after 40, 50 or 60 years of living, this may be impacting your sleep.
It’s hard to tell if your liver is ‘unhealthy’ or not, unless you have some liver function tests, but one problem may be the accumulation of excess fat around your liver.
Before, during, and after menopause, our liver health is super important, and specially if we are carrying some extra weight.
Our liver is responsible for clearing out toxins, as well as absorbing nutrients. It also has an important role in keeping our immune system functioning well.
It’s done a lot of work to do over the years, and by the time we hit menopause, it may have become a bit tired and unhealthy.
If you’re like me, desperately longing for a good nights sleep, it might be time to STOP and check the state of your liver.
I really had no idea that the health of my liver was affecting my sleep.
Our circadian rhythm (or body clock) has a powerful influence on all of our body organs, particularly as we age. Our circadian rhythm even influences our fat cells.
Disruption to our circadian rhythms impacts our metabolism. Late night light exposure, eating and drinking (especially sugar and alcohol) adversely affects our liver health. This is why you are at risk of putting on belly fat while you sleep. Check out my FREE guide for everything you can do to reduce the risk of stacking on belly fat while you sleep.

If we don’t sleep properly for nights on end, inflammation levels increase in our bodies, including our liver.
Chronic liver inflammation can increase our bad (LDL) cholesterol, make our joints and muscles ache, our as well as bring on hot flushes.
With our body clock disrupted, the healing and recovery of our immune system cannot take place.
If you’re lying awake between 2am and 4am, like I was, your body won’t be undertaking its important recovery processes. No surprise that your muscles and joints are always aching.
I know how this feels, and I have 2 powerful ideas to make a difference:
* Stretching for your liver health
* Many of us a sedentary for a majority of the day, so your poor liver is squashed up under your diaphragm, which may reduce its function. Adding a few simple stretches to your day can help with your liver to function better. Try sitting on the floor with your legs spread as far apart as possible. Interlock your fingers, turn your palm outwards, facing your feet and will elbow straight, gently reach your hands forward towards your toes.
* Eating for your liver health
* Try to eating apples and tomatoes every day, as they assist in removing toxins from your liver.
* Reduce saturated fats to give your liver a break, at least in the short term. This includes dairy such as butter, cheese and cream, and well as some red meats.
We need to get your sleep sorted NOW to avoid further health disorders such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and cardiac disease. Take a look at my free guide which focuses on reducing belly fat,improving liver health and sleeping through the night.

Are You Stacking On More Belly Fat While You Sleep?
I couldn’t believe this could be true!
I discovered this when I was desperate to stop the
unrelenting weight gain I experienced after celebrating my 50th birthday.
I have struggled with maintaining a healthy weight for as long as I can remember. I was a chubby kid, one of my best friends affectionately named me “chunky”.
If I “really” wanted to lose some weight, I could... I’d up my exercise or better manage my food intake to drop a few kilos and fit into my normal wardrobe again.
But as soon as I hit 50, none of my usual weight loss tactics worked. Determined to find the answers, I immersed myself in learning everything I could about healthy female ageing.

Joint pain does mean the end to exercising!
We can experience generalised joint pain from a range of causes including being overweight, suffering from arthritis, having chronic inflammation, or going through menopause.
If you are worried you should discuss your joint pain with your GP.
Despite having joint pain, there are still great low impact options for exercise including:
- swimming
- water aerobics or deep water running
- walking
- strength training
More importantly, you may be able to reduce or even eliminate your joint pain.
By addressing issues such as being overweight, the impacts of menopause, or the challenges of chronic inflammation, you may be able to significantly reduce (or even eliminate) your joint pain.
There are two ways that being overweight raises your risk of joint pain. First, excess weight puts additional stress on weight-bearing joints (knees, hips and lower back). Second, inflammation associated with weight gain might contribute to trouble in other joints (hands or wrists).
If you're going through menopause, joint pain that can affect the knees, shoulders, neck, elbows, or hands. You may start to notice that you feel more aches and pains because oestrogen helps to reduce inflammation. As oestrogen levels drop, inflammation may increase, causing joint discomfort.
When your immune system kicks in, it sends out inflammatory cells. These cells attack bacteria or heal damaged tissue. If your body sends out inflammatory cells when you are not sick or injured, you may experience chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Menopause, being overweight and suffering chronic inflammation are often interlinked.
What are your tips for staying active despite suffering joint pain?
Let me know your number one struggle and I'll see what I can provide to help you out....
I do exercise just 4 mins a day - Tabata!
Twenty seconds doesn’t sound very long, does it?
You might change your mind after a few sessions of Tabata!
In just a 4 minute workout, you can cram maximum muscle-burning into a minimal timeframe.
Tabata training breaks a workout down into intervals – typically, 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. You want to really get your heart rate going but it does not need to be high impact.
Try squats and sit ups, even push ups, any body weight exercise can work. No expensive equipment required.
Eight consecutive "exercise then rest" cycles make up a 4-minute round in Tabata.
I encourage you to give it a go!
Tabata makes up part of our successful Lose 4kgs In 14 Days challange.

🥚🐟 Boost Your Mood With Food 🍍🧀
Are you struggling with mood swings?
Feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster?
Then now is the time to understand "good mood foods".
As we get older the level of serotonin in our blood is impacted by lower oestrogen levels. Serotonin is a chemical that act's a natural mood stabiliser, controlling feelings of wellbeing and happiness.
You need the right amount of serotonin to feel happy, calm and emotionally stable.
Serotonin levels can be increased naturally by getting more exposure to outdoor sunlight and by doing regular exercise.
It can also help to eat more foods that contain tryptophan, such as:
• Chickpeas
• Milk / Cheese
• Walnuts
• Kiwi-fruit / Plums / Pineapple (best eaten in AM)
• Eggs
• Seafood
• Poultry
• Oats
• Beetroot
It's time to up your Good Mood Foods 💪
Need a sleep overhaul?
Here are some quick fixes you can implement today 😴
📱Turn off the technology at least an hour before bedtime as blue light stimulates your brain
💡Dim the lights to improve production of melatonin (your sleep hormone)
🥵Make sure your room is not too hot - a cool room (16 -18℃) is best
☕️ Cut down on coffee - it has a 6 hour half life - so no caffeine after lunch is best
🍔Stop bring a few hours before bedtime as food tells your liver its time to be active
⏰Try to go to bed and get up at regular times every day - it regulates our circadian rhythm (body clock)
Research has demonstrated a link between lack of sleep and increased appetite; one particular research study found that sleep deprived individuals ate an average of 385 extra calories per day.

Struggling to sleep through the night? 💤💤💤
I was really struggling to sleep and had no idea what was going on. I was convinced it was work stress related.
But then I learned the power of our Circadian Rhythm (body clock) and how we can improve our Circadian Rhythm to easily get to sleep, or more importantly stay asleep.
When you aren’t sleeping well, your body isn't healing and recovering overnight. This causes chronic inflammation within your body’s cells.
This cycle of poor sleep and chronic inflammation can encourage weight gain, as your cortisol levels become elevated.
Cortisol makes women store more fat in their fat storage areas, especially around the abdominal region. When we don't sleep, our belly-fat stacks on.
Try these xx steps to get to sleep, stay asleep and stop storing more belly fat overnight:
🌞 Expose your eyes to natural light in the morning to reduce your melatonin (sleepy hormone) and reset your circadian rhythm.
🥗 Eat a plant based dinner, as proteins create heat as you digest. avoid starches and sugar close to bedtime too.
📺 Reduce your use technology in the evenings, or use blue light glasses, to help melatonin production in the evening.
⬛️ Make your bedroom as dark as possible as melatonin is increased in darkness environments.
💤 If you do wake up, lie quietly and breathe deeply. Your brain may be in habit of waking and you need to spend time re-training your brain!
Good luck and sleep tight ❤️
Are your joints aching?
When I turned 50 my back felt like concrete when I woke each morning ,and my sore hips were starting to really impact how far I could walk each day.
I thought it was just a sign of getting older, and while this was partly true, it was mainly due to my decreasing oestrogen levels.
Oestrogen has an important role in protecting our joint membranes from damage. It helps strengthen the cell membrane.
Once I understood this, I was able to change my lifestyle by introducing an anti-inflammatory diet and increasing the intake of healthy fats that help our joints healthier as we get older.
I learned about the amazing properties of Olive Oil, that act to reduce inflammation in the body, especially as we age.
Olive oil is a powerful anti-oxidant. It can also help our hormonal and joint health during menopause.
Adding olives and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) to my diet has helped to reduce my joint pain and as a bonus it also improves my heart health, at the same time.
Look for Olive Oil that has around 1.5 mg of Vitamin E per tablespoon.
Try adding some avocado to your diet, or some almonds or sunflower seeds to your salads. Sweet potato is a good option too.
Check out this "Super Anti-Oxidant Salad" recipe:

Losing weight can be hard - it's important to have a super clear WHY!
There are many great reasons to lose weight, that go well beyond just looking better. Here are some go the great ways weight loss can improve your health.
✅ Reduced Allergy and Asthma Symptoms: For some people, being overweight contributes to worsened asthma and allergies. Being overweight can also exacerbate asthma symptoms.
✅ Reduced Foot Pain: A recent study of people who lost an average of 90 pounds after bariatric surgery found that their complaints of foot pain dropped by 83 percent.
✅ Glowing Skin: Skin elasticity and colour can be impacted by diet. Darkness around the eyes can be a sign of iron deficiency, diabetes, or stress.
✅ Improved Arthritis: A number of studies have noted that weight loss improves arthritis pain.
✅ Improved Mood:
When you’re overweight, your hormones imbalance can impact your mood. Losing weight can increase your overall well-being and decrease the severity of depression.
✅ Improve Memory: Recent research discovered that those who experience significant weight loss following weight-loss surgery had improved memory, compared with the control group.
✅ Better Sleep: Weight-loss can reduced sleep apnea symptoms by half, which is particularly important given sleep apnea can be life-threatening.
✅ Reverse Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes and obesity are closely related. In a recent study of 424 gastric bypass surgery patients with type 2 diabetes, 83 percent were able to reverse the symptoms of their diabetes.
❓What's your weight loss WHY?
Life during COVID has changed and now being active is more important than ever.
The last 2 years have been hard, and it's no surprise if exercise has dropped off our priority "to-do" list. With several lockdowns under our belts, our incidental exercise has also reduced as we've been stuck at home.
But it's important to remind ourselves that doing some form of exercise is an easy and free way to boost both our mental and physical health.
Exercise releases chemicals in our brain, like serotonin and endorphins, which are great for our mood. It can also lead to better sleep and give us more energy.
Regular exercise can help reduce your risk of serious health issues, like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
So let's not let COVID be an excuse for no exercise. Get started today, there's no better time.
There's a reason why women are excited about this new way to kick start weight loss...

Too much to eat over holiday season?
The holiday season often involves lots of eating, drinking and relaxing with family and friends. A well deserved break after another busy 12 months.
Many people feel guilty for indulging too much, or perhaps fear stepping on the scales after the holidays.
The weight gain we experience over festive eating seasons like this if often related to water retention, especially if we have a relatively healthy diet otherwise.
When we eat carbohydrates, our body changes it into a form of sugar called 'glucose' that can be used for energy. The glucose, in turn, is changed to glycogen, a form of sugar that can be easily stored by our muscles and liver.
Your body stores several grams of water with every gram of the glycogen from carbohydrates, so eating a high carb diet can definitely cause you to gain water weight.
Luckily, getting back on track isn’t difficult. Here's 5 simple steps todo after overindulging.
1. Eat a moderately low-carb diet
The Mediterranean diet is a great option as its rich in protein, vegetables, fibre and healthy fats. It’s been recognised to be one of the healthiest eating styles in the world. Eating meals rich in protein, fibre and healthy fats helps you feel fuller for longer.
2. Go for a long walk
If you’re feeling sluggish after a few days of over eating, go for a walk. Even a short, 15-minute walk can reduce your hunger levels and improve your mood.
3. Drink more water
After a day of overeating, it’s important to increase your hydration. Increasing your water intake can reduce hunger as it’s easy to confuse thirst for hunger when the cues your body sends for both are similar.
4. Time Restricted Eating
Limiting the time window when you consume calories is beneficial for weight loss, fat burning, improved cognitive health and reversing insulin resistance. Start with a 12 hour window (only eating 8am to 8pm) to give your gut a well deserved break.
5. Get a good night’s sleep
We often suffer a combination of lack of sleep and poor quality of sleep over the festive season. This can increase our desire for sugary snacks and can lead to consuming and additional 385 calories, each day.
Are you destined to be overweight? It might depend on who your friends and family are!
Research undertaken at Harvard indicates that obesity tends to cluster amongst friends. Same-sex friends have the greatest influence on each others weight gain.
Sibling effects also exist and weight gain in same-sex siblings is more significant than in different-sex siblings.
The weight gain effect between spouses tends to be smaller, but does exist.
The study also indicated that social distance, not physical distance, is important. Unrelated neighbours had no impact on each others obesity, and the proximity to fast-food restaurants does not effect weight gain.
So what does all this mean?
If you take charge of your weight, you'll have a positive impact on a group of people beyond just yourself.
That has to make it even more meaningful....
