Your brain is a big deal. It controls how we think, what we remember, our feelings, our breathing, our body temperature and pretty much every process that regulates our body. ⁣

Supporting our brain health is important at any age but even more so from mid-life onwards.⁣

We don’t talk enough about weight maintenance.⁣

Or about what it takes to stay well – physically, mentally, and emotionally – once the weight is gone, especially when medications like GLP-1’s are part of the journey. ⁣

Weight is complex. It more than number on the scale. Long-term management of your weight demands a multifaceted and a whole-person approach.⁣

Brilliant article in the @times bringing the holistic lens into play by the wonderful @Petabee⁣

From a nutrition point of view – our top recommendations in this article were:⁣

1. Fill up with fibre. Quality carbs and fibre fuel nutrient partitioning, feed your gut, and work hand-in-hand with protein to keep muscle strong and metabolism steady.⁣

2. Prioritise protein. Protein really is a multitasker for weight management. It helps with appetite, blood sugar control and keeps you protect your precious muscle mass.⁣

3. Enjoy your food! Research backs it up: when people focus on making healthy changes enjoyable—not just something to grit their teeth through—they’re far more likely to stick with them. ⁣

From midlife onwards inflammation in the body increases. This is even more apparent in women after the menopause. ⁣

This is largely due to the drop in oestrogen and the important role oestrogen plays within the immune system. ⁣

There are many factors which can help reduce inflammation in the body – all of which I discuss in my book Food for Menopause. ⁣

But the easiest place to start is looking at what foods you can ADD into your diet.

These foods all have important anti-inflammatory properties. ⁣

Remember, there is no single anti-inflammatory eating pattern or one single hero food. Generally, it is an eating pattern that focuses on whole-foods, lots of
vegetables and fruit, and a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat at each meal.⁣

For more on my top anti-inflammatory foods and further advice on inflammation in
midlife order your copy of Food for Menopause today. ⁣

Part 2: How to Use GLP-1 Medications Smartly 💉✨⁣

In Part 1, I broke down how GLP-1 medications work and the key questions to ask before starting.⁣

Now let’s talk about what happens after you start.⁣

These medications are powerful—but they’re not a magic fix. They don’t replace lifestyle change. In fact, they make it more essential than ever.⁣

GLP-1s can quiet physical hunger, but they don’t touch emotional, habitual, or environmental triggers. That’s where your nutrition, movement, mindset, and support system come in.⁣

Because whether you’re on these meds for months or years, how you support your body will shape what happens next.⁣

🧠 Nourish wisely⁣
💪 Protect your muscle⁣
🧘‍♀️ Manage stress⁣
🛠 Rewire habits⁣
🤝 Get wraparound support⁣

Your long-term success isn’t just about weight—it’s about wellbeing. And that requires more than a jab.⁣

📲 Save + share this post with anyone navigating GLP-1s.⁣

💉 Weight-loss injections: what my clients are wanting to know

Back in 2021, a high-profile client asked if I could support her with Ozempic—then still relatively unknown. Fast forward to last week in my clinic: almost every woman who came to see me about weight management brought up GLP-1s.

These medications have gone big—but the conversation around them is still catching up.

As a clinician, my job isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to give you the knowledge, context, and support to make informed, empowered decisions—and to help you do it in a healthy, sustainable way.

I’ve created two new posts to support you:
📌 Post 1: What GLP-1s are, how they work, and key questions to ask before starting.
📌 Post 2: How to make them more effective if you choose to use them.

Swipe, save, and share with anyone who’s asking the same questions.

✨ Mini tortilla quiches✨⁣

You’ve probably seen the viral high-protein tortilla quiche doing the rounds — well, these are my go-to mini version. I make a whole tray for the week and stash them in the fridge for an easy breakfast or snack.⁣

They tick so many boxes:⁣
✔️ Balanced macros (i.e. bit of all the good stuff - carbs, protein, fat and veggies)⁣
✔️ Slow-release carbs from wholegrain tortilla⁣
✔️ Protein to keep me perky⁣
✔️ Healthy fats for satisfaction⁣
✔️ Packed with colourful veg = antioxidants to boost your body’s resilience⁣

Great for batch cooking. You can switch up the veg — I love roasted peppers — and try feta or ricotta if you’re after something richer. I didn’t have herbs when I made this batch, but parsley is 💯 and adds bonus points for plant diversity.⁣

Are you getting enough water? Despite our best efforts, many of us fail to hydrate as often as we should.⁣

Hydration is important for us all to get right. But it’s even more important to prioritise during the menopause as dehydration can make certain symptoms worse, such as brain fog, low energy, hot sweats, mood changes and appetite regulation.⁣

As the sun shines more this summer, more water is needed! Remember to drink up to help manage your symptoms through all seasons.⁣

Which tip will you try to help you stay on top of hydration? ⁣

The first principle in my book in the eating for success chapter is Hydrate! To learn more, order Food for Menopause from the link in my bio ⬆️🌟⁣

Did you know your liver doesn’t just metabolize the wine you drink but also has a key role in helping keep our hormones in check?⁣

Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussel sprouts and cabbages contain a chemical called indol-3 carbinol that supports our liver to work more efficiently.⁣

They are definitely a group of veggies that ALL us ladies no matter our life stage need to be including in our diets regularly.⁣

But we get it ….. sometimes just broccoli can be a bit boring.⁣

We have just changed your life (dramatic we know but this is a show stopper recipe!).⁣

Your new favourite broccoli sidekick – or cauliflower or Brussels.⁣

You are welcome!⁣

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 ⁣
1 head of broccoli ⁣
Olive oil ⁣
1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika ⁣
100g grated Parmesan ⁣
Salt and pepper ⁣

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱⁣
1. Boil the broccoli in salted water until soft but not sloppy. ⁣
2. Pre heat the grill to 220 degrees c. ⁣
3. Mix the olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. ⁣
4. Lay out the florets on a lined baking sheet, push down on each with the back of a glass or palette knife. ⁣
5. Brush with oil mixture and sprinkle on Parmesan to each. ⁣
6. Cook under the grill for 5minute or until golden brown and crispy - keep an eye on them! ⁣

Enjoy! ⁣
