I read a mind-boggling statistic the other day….’Every 3 seconds there is an osteoporosis fracture in the world.’
Worldwide, that makes fractures from osteoporosis more common than heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer combined!
Osteoporosis is linked with weak bones and is dubbed the “silent thief “as you don’t feel the damage while it proceeds. Many adults will not be aware they have porous bones until they happen to fall. Falls that result in a fracture to your bones, impact your quality of life massively and if you’re elderly you chance of dying shortly afterwards skyrockets.
There are some groups who at risk of having poor bone density. These are:
➡️ People who have cut out diary in their diets.
➡️ People who follow excessive and extreme diets or those people who don’t eat enough overall.
➡️ Post-menopausal women.
Getting your calcium intake right is a key component of protecting your bone health. Use our easy guide to work out if you’re hitting you’re requirements every day!

Brilliant! So deserved! Xx
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.
If you’re looking for a quick way to improve your health, drinking up could be the answer. It’s a natural and healthy way energise and on top of your game.

When working with women through the menopause journey, one of their biggest struggles is sleep and the sleep changes they experience.
For some, sleep can be harder during the perimenopause. But poor sleep also exacerbates other symptoms, such as brain fog, lethargy and cravings!
If you relate – then this checklist is the place for you to start. Try implementing these tips this week and see your overall wellbeing improve.
🛏️ The 3:2:1 rule - before bed, no food for 3hours, no work for 2hours, no devices for 1 hour.
🍞 Don’t go low carb – a lack of starchy carbs in the diet means the body has less tryptophan, which allows your body to produce melatonin - the sleep hormone. The quality of your carbs matters. Focus on wholegrains, beans and lentils.
☕️ Watch stimulants - Research suggests that cutting back on alcohol and caffeine at least 4-6 hours before bed will help with sleep. Its individual though so figure out what works for you.
🧘♀️Create rituals – As adults we are so good at creating bed time routines for kids.. but do you have one? What no- screen rituals can you adopt? Pre-sleep rituals, like reading or meditation, signal your body to unwind, promoting a smoother transition to restful sleep
💊Magnesium supplements - Some sleep experts believe magnesium (Mg) helps your body’s circadian rhythm by regulating the nervous system and relaxing your muscles. Magnesium bisglycinate is thought to promote healthy sleep cycles.
✅ Stay consistent - Creating a consistent sleep routine (i.e. when you go to bed and when you wake up) helps regulate your body’s internal clock, improving sleep quality, energy, and overall health.
We cover mastering your sleep and much more in the 12week Midlife Mastery Programme ✅follow the link in the bio to join the waitlist now! 🌟🌟

Whilst there are no miracle foods or ingredients when it comes to nutrition, a key nutrient that you need to focus on particularly during the menopause transition is fibre.
Fibre is a type of carbohydrate and refers to the parts of plant-based foods (vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes including beans and pulses) that are not broken down or used by the body. Instead, these non-digestible parts make their way through the gut contributing to our health in different ways.
✅ Fibre nourishes our oestroblome ( the oestrogen metabolising department of your gut microbiome) which means we are in better hormone balance
✅ It keeps your appetite in check as it keeps you fuller for longer
✅ It helps regulate your blood sugar control
Most of us don’t get the recommended 30 grams of fibre each day. Start implementing these 8 tips, make fibre your friend.

Hoping all my friends in New Zealand see this written by Linia ( ex Chengelo student ) - Catherine Falcone , Hannah Louise Couchman, Anne Van Gend, Delwyn Houghton
Awesome Lin! 👍🏻♥️
😘
There are more than 30 different menopause symptoms commonly reported which range from stiff joints, anxiety, brain fog, vaginal dryness and of course hot flushes and night sweats.
In the UK and USA, hot flushes will effect up to 75% of people who go through the menopause. They can have a huge impact on quality of life.
But diet and lifestyle are essential tools in hot flush management.
Hot flushes? This toolkit is for you.
For more evidence based, easy to implement tool kits - grab your copy of my new book Food for Memopause ✨⬆️ link in the bio.

Oh hello! I am delighted to have several new followers, so I wanted to reach out and say hello share a little bit more about me!
Ingredients
Couple buckets of energy and passion
1 kg of empathy
1 cup of determination
2 tbsp curiosity
A good pinch of a perfectionist in a constant working progress
Topped with a good dollop of crunchy peanut butter
Method
1) Start off with a solid multi-cultural base. The combo must be half Zambian, half Indian. Add in English boarding school from age the age of 5 for good measure.
2) Love science. Be on the route to do medicine at uni.
3) ‘Fall’ into your dharma. Train in South Africa as a dietitian.
4) Be constantly curious to learn, nerd out and collect 4 x other science degrees along the way.
5) Develop a passion for making science easy-to-digest
6) Look after your first cluster of high performing women in the menopause transition.
7) Reflect on your own clinical practice and realise you need to upskill yourself in women-specific nutrition.
8) In your pursuit, realise there is a massive gap for menopause specific nutrition that is science-based, practical and accessible.
9) When offered to write a book on fat loss in 2015, pivot the opportunity and pitch the Midlife Diet book concept instead.
10) Get rejected left, right and centre on that idea. Keep trying. Get more rejections. Pick yourself up. Best foot forward. Get your lipstick back on.
11) Embark on a PhD and let life happen. Eight years later be asked to write a book a recipe book on food for menopause.
12) Make the dream a reality and pour your heart, soul,15+ years of clinical expertise and 8 years or writing the book in your head into words that will empower women.
13) Birth what feels like two baby elephants in Sept 2024.
14) Today, be insanely proud of my entire village that helped bring my vision of ‘Food for Menopause’ to life.
Thrilled that you are following me!
Empowering people to live healthy lives and keep performing along the way (no matter their walk of life) is my purpose.
