Having a positive mindset is key to any successful behaviour change - believing you have some control over your health and wellbeing and that things can get better. A big part of mindset is understanding your ‘why’. Your ‘why’ is a powerful motivator for change.
We spend time digging deep during the onboarding consultation into why you want to take charge of your health and what the benefits will be for you. We also tackle any mind blocks that are preventing you from building healthy habits that support your health and wellbeing.
Prioritising sleep is your foundational nourishment. Getting a good night’s sleep provides you with the willpower to make healthier food choices as well as the energy to engage in regular exercise to support weight loss and well-being goals.
Sleep is also known to regulate mood and help our brain function better. Yet, getting a good night’s sleep can often elude us in our post-menopausal life! So we spend time looking at your mindset when it comes to sleep (do you believe you are a bad sleeper?) and look at ways to support you to sleep.
Having a nourishing diet is vital in light of the body composition changes that take place during and after the menopause transition - lower oestrogen levels lead to a loss of lean body mass, and an increase in fat mass. Recent research (Zoe Predict Study, published in the Lancet) shows our post menopause metabolism is less flexible than it used to be, in particular being less efficient at clearing sugars and fats from our blood.
Therefore, you do need to think more carefully about what you are eating and drinking to support a healthy metabolism, maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of diabetes, protect your bone health and lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
We take a deep dive into what you tend to eat and drink on a day to day basis. This allows us to see whether you just need a few tweaks or a radical overhaul of how and when you eat. I will guide you through the best way to eat and drink, wherever you are at, supporting you nourish yourself in a way that's enjoyable and sustainable long term.
Our bodies are designed to move. Beyond menopause this makes a massive difference to our short and long term health and wellbeing. Weight bearing exercise is particularly beneficial to counter muscle loss and reduced bone density, boosting your metabolism to support weight loss goals as well as enhancing your overall mood and wellbeing.
I will help you take stock of where you are now with your fitness and guide you how best to weave the right types of exercise into your day to day routine.
Feelings of being overwhelmed, unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure, can quickly derail our health and wellbeing. Stress can cause chronic inflammation, impacting on your immune and digestive health and have a detrimental effect on your short term and long term health.
We will work together to help you identify and tackle the root cause of stressors in your life and also equip you with self care tools that work for you to counterbalance these stressors.
