Does any this sound familiar?
-
Your weight keeps creeping on, even though you’ve done all the things – cut the calories, upped the workouts, sworn off carbs. Still nothing’s shifting.
-
That uncomfortable bloating? Gone.

Your weight keeps creeping on, even though you’ve done all the things – cut the calories, upped the workouts, sworn off carbs. Still nothing’s shifting.
-
Your bloating makes you dread getting dressed. You’ve no idea what to eat to feel comfortable, and half your wardrobe’s now on the “maybe one day” rail.
-
You’re knackered – body, brain, the lot – even when you do get a full night’s sleep. Everything just feels like such a colossal effort.
-
You keep waking at 3am, staring at the ceiling while your brain runs through to-do lists, worst-case scenarios and random childhood memories.
-
You’re forgetting words, names, whole conversations. The brain fog is real – and it’s messing with your confidence.
-
Some days you’re freezing, other days you could fry an egg on your face. Your temperature seems to have a mind of its own.
-
You’re snappy, teary, overwhelmed and permanently one eye-roll away from losing it. Then comes the guilt, because you know it’s not really their fault.
-
You look in the mirror and barely recognise yourself. The spark’s dimmed, the confidence’s gone missing and photos? Hard pass.
-
So you start saying no – to plans, to people, to anything that takes more energy than scrolling on the sofa.
This was me too. I've been exactly where you are right now 😩

Menopause hit me like a wrecking ball at 47. A perfect storm of long work hours, stress, divorce and flat-out denial. I wasn’t doing many of the things I knew I should.
I felt fat, frumpy and overwhelmed. I looked middle-aged and moved like an old lady. I had about two outfits I felt OK in and avoided cameras like the plague.
My kids found my hot flushes hilarious – it was cardigans on, cardigans off, all day long. Like the hokey cokey, but far less fun. Wine o’clock became my coping strategy, followed by too many coffees the next morning just to function.
Eventually, I hit rock bottom. I decided to get my mindset, food and movement back on track – properly this time.
I ran a few tests to see what was happening under the bonnet and made small, consistent changes every day. Nothing extreme. No kale. No running club. Just real food and a plan that worked around family life.
Within a couple of months, the weight shifted. My blood sugar and blood pressure normalised. The aches eased. The energy came back. I felt like me again – sharper, lighter and in control.
And the best part? My friends started asking what my secret was. That’s how The Midlife Method was born.

“I cannot have more energy than I have. This is more than I ever had.I am never too tired to do something. I like the shape of my body better. I look in the mirror and think, that's how I want to be. I feel my body can cope with anything - physically and mentally. I feel like I am strong."

"I’ve lost 15lbs and gone from 16 to a comfortable 14, sometimes a 12. I've been wearing things I haven't worn in years. I still need to lose but this is a lot more than I've lost for many years. The people I saw at Christmas were staggered by how much I'd lost."

FAQ
How is The Midlife Method different from other menopause programmes?
It’s completely personalised. No cookie-cutter meal plans, no generic advice. Everything – from your food plan and supplements to your sleep and stress strategies – is built around you: your stage of menopause, lifestyle, goals and preferences.
Do I need to have hot flushes or be in full menopause to join?
Not at all. The Midlife Method is for any stage – perimenopause, menopause or post. Whether your main issues are bloating, weight gain, fatigue, mood swings or brain fog, we’ll tailor your plan to exactly what’s going on for you.
I’ve tried everything. How do I know this will work for me?
That’s exactly why this programme exists. We start by looking under the bonnet – your diet, stress levels, sleep, movement and lab results if relevant – so we know what’s really happening. Then we build your personalised plan from there. It’s science-based, practical and designed for real life.
What kind of time commitment do I need?
You’ll have seven fortnightly sessions with me and small, realistic actions to take in between. This isn’t about perfection or spending hours in the kitchen. It’s about simple, strategic tweaks that add up fast.
Do you provide meal plans?
Yes – you’ll get recipes and meal ideas tailored to your preferences and goals. But you’ll also learn how to create your own balanced meals without relying on a plan forever.
Is this suitable if I’m on HRT or other medication?
Absolutely. The Midlife Method works alongside your existing treatment. We’ll make sure everything we do complements your medical care.
What if I’m not ready to commit yet
No problem. Book a free call and we’ll talk through what’s been happening, what you’ve tried and what’s possible next. It’s a friendly, no-pressure chat to see if The Midlife Method is the right fit for you.
