In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I speak from the heart about something I believe with absolute conviction: we are standing on the edge of a complete rewrite of what midlife and menopause look like for women.
This isn’t just another menopause conversation.
This is about a movement.
A shift that’s already happening under our noses – and one that will explode into the mainstream over the next few years.
I share why the old narrative around menopause is broken.
The idea that women should slow down, accept decline, suffer quietly, or “just get on with it” no longer fits the lives we’re living today.
Our mothers and grandmothers lived in a very different world, with different expectations, responsibilities, careers and pressures.
We are not them – and we cannot be supported in the same way.
I open up about my own journey, including decisions I made in perimenopause before I truly understood what was happening in my body, and how different my life might have looked if I’d had the right information sooner.
This is deeply personal, honest, and raw – because these decisions affect marriages, mental health, confidence, careers and families.
We talk openly about HRT, testosterone, libido, energy, motivation and why so many women are still being dismissed by doctors despite clear guidelines and evidence.
I share real client stories, including women being told “no” when they are clearly struggling – and exactly how I help them advocate for themselves with confidence and clarity.
This episode is also about body literacy – understanding what oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone actually do in your body, why symptoms feel so wide-ranging and random, and why menopause is not a phase you pass through, but a lifelong hormonal state you deserve to be supported in.
I explain why strength training is no longer optional in midlife, why muscle is your currency for life, and how lifting weights doesn’t just change your body – it changes your identity, your confidence and how you show up in the world.
We dive into the rise of science-led menopause support, the power of community and sisterhood, and why women are finally done with vague advice, outdated thinking and being made to feel ashamed of their symptoms.
Most importantly, this episode is about reclaiming power.
About refusing to disappear.
About stepping into a new identity as an informed, self-respecting, unapologetic midlife woman who demands better – and gets it.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, frustrated, exhausted, stuck in a body you no longer recognise, or quietly wondered “is this really it now?” – this episode is for you.
This isn’t about surviving menopause.
It’s about leading your life through it.
Press play and join the revolution.

In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I challenge the usual end-of-year frenzy of goal-setting.
Instead of rushing into new plans, new programmes, and new promises, I invite you to pause.
Before you set a single new goal, there is one step that will change everything: genuine, compassionate reflection.
Most women in perimenopause and menopause set goals from a place of frustration – frustration with weight gain, stubborn belly fat, low energy, poor sleep, stress, or feeling uncomfortable in their bodies.
But goals built on frustration rarely last.
They create short bursts of urgency that burn out quickly.
In this episode, I show you why slowing down, looking back, and acknowledging everything you’ve survived, created, and improved this year is the true starting point for meaningful change.
I guide you through the same Yearly Reflection process I use with my Meno-Fit clients.
You’ll discover how often you dismiss your progress, overlook your resilience, and underestimate the battles you’ve quietly fought.
You’ll learn why gratitude is not fluffy or optional – especially during menopause, when your brain is wired to scan for threats and negativity.
Gratitude grounds you, softens your nervous system, and reminds you of the stability, support, and strength you already have.
We also explore why many women struggle with consistency: not because they lack willpower, but because they set goals without understanding their deeper “why.”
When you reconnect with why strength, energy, calmer hormones, or feeling good in your skin actually matters to you, your goals stop feeling like chores.
They become commitments to your future self.
I share my own reflections — the realities of navigating sleep with a toddler, managing hydration and nutrition, adjusting my training, caring for my health with HRT, and shaping a lifestyle that genuinely supports my well-being.
You’ll hear practical examples of how small, realistic adjustments create huge momentum, rather than perfectionism or deprivation.
This episode will help you walk into 2026 with clarity, not urgency.
If you want the coming year to feel different – calmer, more empowered, more intentional – then this conversation is the pause you need before taking another step.

Warm wishes,

In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I’m challenging the idea that menopausal women should “start again in January.”
I dive deep into why this mindset keeps so many women stuck, stressed, and spiralling further away from the health, confidence, and hormonal balance they desperately want.
I reveal the Menopause Momentum Plan – the exact approach I teach inside my programmes – designed to help you finish the year strong and step into 2026 feeling steady, empowered, and in control.
No drastic diets.
No gym marathons.
No waiting for motivation that never arrives.
Just small, practical actions that stabilise your hormones, calm your system, and build the kind of momentum that changes everything.
I talk openly about the reality of being menopausal for the rest of your life, why traditional New Year “reset” culture fails women in midlife, and the serious risks of yo-yo dieting when your hormones are already vulnerable.
I share personal stories, including my own years of binge eating, sugar dependence, and the emotional chaos that came with it – and how small, steady changes were the turning point.
Inside the episode, I break down the four pillars that transform a menopausal body:
Nutrition that stabilises blood sugar (simple anchors you can start today)
Strength training that takes 10–15 minutes but changes your metabolism
Recovery habits that soothe cortisol and reduce cravings, anxiety, and exhaustion
Stress-management rituals that calm your nervous system and restore your sense of self
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, frazzled, inconsistent, or ashamed for “falling off,” this episode will feel like a reset button for your mind as much as your habits.
I want you to see how possible it is to take back control without waiting for a perfect moment or a perfect plan.
If you’re ready to walk into 2026 stronger, calmer, and already ahead of the game – rather than dragging yourself out of another January slump – this is the episode you need to hear.

In this episode, I dive into what I’m calling your Confidence Comeback—the year you stop shrinking, stop apologising, and finally reclaim the woman you know you are.
If you’re stepping into 2026 feeling exhausted, stretched thin, or disconnected from your body, this conversation is your reminder: confidence isn’t something you wait to feel.
It’s something you build.
I break down exactly where that rebuild starts: with your plate.
What you eat during menopause affects far more than your waistline.
It shapes your energy, your mood, your self-belief.
When you start fuelling rather than starving yourself—prioritising protein, fibre, and colour—you instantly shift into a more grounded version of yourself.
Your body trusts you again.
And that trust?
That is confidence.
From there, I take you into the training piece—lifting weights not just to build muscle, but to rebuild your identity.
Every rep, every session, every personal best becomes evidence that you are showing up for yourself.
Confidence doesn’t come after you reach your goal weight; it grows daily through the habits that prove you’re stronger than you think.
I also talk about the boundaries that become non-negotiable in menopause.
The people who drain you.
The habits that chip away at your self-respect.
The invitations you say yes to out of guilt or people-pleasing.
This is the year you stop doing that.
Your peace, your recovery, your rest—these are not luxuries, they’re part of your transformation.
You’ll hear stories from inside my Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution community—women who once avoided mirrors and now walk with pride because they finally chose to put themselves first.
I explain why having expert support matters, why action creates motivation (not the other way around), and how evidence builds unshakeable confidence.
Most importantly, I challenge you to stop waiting to feel ready and start behaving like the woman you want to become.
Because your body, your boundaries, and your boldness are ready to return.
And 2026 is the year you take up space again.
If you’re tired of going it alone, or you’ve been telling yourself you “should” be able to figure this out by now, press play.
This episode might be the turning point you’ve been waiting for.

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted – and this episode is your loving kick up the backside to stop living for the next “January reset” and finally build a menopause lifestyle that actually lasts.
I’m diving into the truth behind the “This is my year” mentality – the new planners, the shiny diets, the gym memberships, the strict rules that quietly disappear by mid-January (or earlier).
I’ve been in the fitness industry for over a decade and I’ve watched this cycle repeat year after year.
In this episode, I show you why it keeps failing you in perimenopause and menopause – and what to do instead if you actually want to feel better in your body for the rest of your life, not just for six frantic weeks.
I pull the curtain back on my own life too: moving to Dubai, leaving my older boys in the UK, navigating menopause with a surprise third baby, getting injured trying to master handstands at 50, questioning my decisions, and still choosing to show up and lift heavy.
I want you to hear, very clearly, that I am not superhuman – I am a menopausal woman with doubts, guilt, overwhelm, shoulder pain and brain fog… who has simply built systems that keep me moving forward anyway.
Inside this episode I walk you through the three pillars I use with my clients:
Food: nourishing, not punishing – enough protein, fibre, colour and real food most days, instead of another round of deprivation and “cut all the carbs and wine forever”.
Training: three focused full-body strength sessions a week, lifting weights that actually challenge you, and protecting that time like a non-negotiable meeting.
Invigoration: the missing piece for most women – recovery, walks with intention, breath work, better sleep, stress management and simple daily rituals that calm your nervous system and tame cortisol.
I talk honestly about sex and intimacy in menopause, the impact of hormones, what can be fixed practically, and what requires effort, communication and a new kind of connection.
I also introduce my “ordinary women” series – real stories from women like Emma in Kenya navigating doctors, HRT, early menopause and everything in between – so you don’t feel like you’re the only one going through this in silence.
If you’re tired of promising yourself that “next January will be different” and secretly knowing it won’t be, this episode is for you.
Listen in, and I’ll help you stop chasing the next reset and start building a menopause lifestyle that works in real life – messy, busy, emotional, imperfect life – so you can protect your muscle, your mood and your future self, starting today.

Hey ladies, and welcome back to Menopause Unscripted.
As we approach the end of 2025, I want to invite you to pause—not to criticise or pick apart what didn't go to plan—but to reflect honestly and compassionately on what this year has taught you about your body and your mind in menopause.
Often, the end of a year highlights the gap rather than the gain: the weight we didn’t lose, the routines that didn’t stick, the stress we couldn’t tame.
But what if we flip the script?
What if, instead of measuring failure, we measure growth—no scales, no numbers, no shame—just awareness, progress, and personal power?
In this episode, I break down what I’m calling your Menopause Report Card.
Not graded by perfection—but by presence.
By your willingness to listen to your body, to support your mind, and to nurture your spirit.
If you've been tuning into this podcast, you're already ahead—because knowledge sparks awareness, and awareness is the catalyst for change.
I talk about why pushing harder in workouts often backfires, why more cardio is never the answer, and why rest days are not a luxury—they’re hormone-friendly recovery.
You’ll discover how small changes—prioritising protein, reducing alcohol, managing screens at night—can transform sleep, energy, and anxiety.
We move into mindset too, because menopause isn’t just a physical transition—it’s deeply emotional.
Maybe this was the year you stopped comparing yourself to your thirty-year-old self.
Perhaps you caught your own negative self-talk and changed the tone.
You might have felt—for the first time ever—that your worth isn’t tied to the number on the scale.
These are the true breakthroughs.
I share stories from real clients who found their voice, their boundaries, and their peace—all without chasing perfection or punishing their bodies.
One woman learned her cycle tracking was about awareness, not control.
Another realised her body wasn’t broken—it just needed kinder boundaries.
One of my favourites said: “For the first time, I like who I am becoming.”
That right there is transformation.
Progress during menopause is measured in peace: how you bounce back after a wobble, how gently you speak to yourself, how reliably you return to your habits when life throws you off course.
And as we approach 2026, I challenge you to swap resolutions for rituals.
Resolutions fade.
Rituals evolve with you.
Tune in as I guide you through a powerful year-end exercise and help you decide what to leave behind... and what to carry forward.
If you're curious about tracking your own ‘report card’ or ready to start the next chapter with the support of women who get it, then you'll want to hear this whole episode.
Click play.
Join me inside this powerful reflection.
And let’s step into 2026 not with regret, but with confidence, courage, and compassion.

Here’s the episode at a glance—so you can hit play with zero hesitation.
I’m talking straight about “holiday hormones”: how to enjoy the festive season without the crash, the guilt, or the month-long spiral.
The big truth I want you to hear?
One or two days of celebration will not undo your hard work.
What derails progress is letting one big meal turn into three weeks (or three months!) of “festival mode”.
In this episode I share:
Why midlife bodies are more sensitive to alcohol, sugar, stress and poor sleep—and how that shows up in your mood, bloat, cravings and motivation (yes, even with HRT and a great routine).
The simple rule that protects your hormones and headspace: enjoy the day fully, then return to normal nourishing foods the very next day—protein, veg, hydration, repeat.
Party-proof tactics that actually work: eat a protein-rich meal before you go out, alternate alcohol with water (or make it a spritzer), choose low-sugar mixers, and prioritise sleep and a walk over “punishment workouts”.
How to set boundaries that keep cortisol in check—share the hosting, ask others to bring a dish, stop stockpiling sweets “for later”, and get leftovers out of the house.
What to do if you overdo it (no name-calling, no crash diets, no compulsive weigh-ins). Regulate, walk, and slip straight back into your habits.
Why consistency on the other 363 days is what shapes your results—and how to protect new habits so they hold up anywhere, from office parties to family feasts.
If you’re ready to celebrate without self-sabotage—and start January feeling steady instead of “restarting” again—press play.
I’ll walk you through the mindset, the science, and the exact moves to enjoy the season guilt-free while keeping your energy, mood and confidence intact.

Hello and welcome to our client interview.
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Carolyn — a mum of three and a busy self-employed professional — who shares her incredible transformation through the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method.
When we first met, Carolyn was struggling with stubborn belly fat that wouldn’t shift, low mood, and a sense of ageing she couldn’t quite explain.
Despite being on HRT, she didn’t realise her weight gain and emotional changes were menopause-related.
After joining my 21-Day Metabolic Reset, she quickly discovered that her body – and her mindset – were capable of so much more.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Carolyn lost two stone, regained her energy, and rediscovered a version of herself she hadn’t felt in over 15 years.
But more importantly, she talks about the deeper transformation — learning to eat with freedom using the HAND Method, finding calm and contentment, rebuilding confidence, and finally setting healthy boundaries in her life.
She opens up about how she balanced the plan with real life: holidays, dating, wine, and even chocolate — all without guilt or restriction.
Carolyn now sleeps better, feels stronger, and has taken full control of how she ages, saying she no longer “feels old” but empowered, healthy, and happy in her own skin.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you could truly thrive during menopause — to feel lighter, calmer, and confident again — this conversation will show you what’s possible.
Press play to hear how Carolyn transformed her life, her health, and her confidence — and why she says joining this programme was one of the best decisions she’s ever made.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.
In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that could change everything for you: connecting with the right experts to take back control of your menopause journey.
For years, so many women — myself included — have tried to “figure it out alone.”
I used to believe I knew exactly what to do until perimenopause hit me like a freight train.
I was exhausted, confused, and drowning in symptoms, trying every supplement and quick fix I could find.
But everything changed the moment I decided to seek expert help.
Now, after ten years of being coached myself and helping thousands of women, I’ve learned one crucial truth: you don’t have to suffer or guess your way through menopause.
Whether it’s a menopause specialist for HRT, a nutrition coach who understands midlife metabolism, or a holistic coach who can guide your training, mindset, and recovery — the right expert can completely transform your life.
In this episode, I share raw, real examples from my own journey and the women I coach — from dealing with anxiety, sleepless nights, and body aches when HRT runs out, to discovering how a structured, expert-supported plan brings relief, clarity, and renewed confidence.
I explain why doing it all on your own isn’t a sign of strength — it’s ego.
True empowerment comes from knowing when to ask for help and investing in your well-being now, not someday.
Because menopause is complex, individual, and demands a personalised approach — not generic advice or random internet tips.
If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or simply tired of spinning your wheels, this episode will help you see how connecting with experts can help you move from reactive and frustrated to proactive and thriving.
You’ll learn how expert guidance shortens your learning curve, brings you accountability, and builds the version of you that’s strong, confident, and finally in control again.
Listen now to discover why trying to do menopause alone might be holding you back — and how the right support can help you live your most powerful chapter yet.

In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I explore one of the most overlooked factors in menopause fitness — peer support.
So many women focus on nutrition and workouts but miss the vital ingredient that keeps motivation and consistency alive: connection.
I share how trying to do this journey alone can hold you back — from feeling isolated to losing momentum and accountability.
You’ll hear real examples from my own life, including how joining a CrossFit community in Dubai reignited my drive, helped me form friendships, and reminded me why support is essential for both mental and physical health during menopause.
Inside the episode, I uncover five powerful reasons why peer support transforms your menopause journey — from shared experiences that make you feel seen, to the accountability that keeps you showing up, the learning that happens through community conversations, and the confidence that grows when you’re surrounded by women cheering you on.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling with strange symptoms or losing motivation to work out, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to do menopause alone.
Connection fuels consistency — and consistency drives results.

In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I open up about one of the biggest challenges I see women face in midlife — the belief that we can “do it alone.”
So many women tell me, “Farah, I know what to do… I just don’t do it.”
The truth is, menopause changes everything — from hormones to metabolism to mindset — and what worked in your 30s or even early 40s no longer delivers the same results.
I share my own story of struggling through perimenopause — from mood swings, binge eating, and hot flashes to realising that the doctors didn’t have all the answers.
It wasn’t until I hired a coach and received the right guidance that everything began to make sense.
I finally learned how to nourish my body, balance my hormones, and build sustainable habits that made me stronger — mentally and physically.
In this conversation, I break down the five main reasons women stay stuck when trying to navigate menopause fitness alone:
Lack of Guidance – You can’t solve new problems with old tools. Menopause demands a new approach.
No Accountability – When no one’s checking in, it’s too easy to slip back into old habits.
Overwhelm and Confusion – There’s so much conflicting advice online that it leaves most women paralysed.
Isolation – Doing it alone means missing the encouragement, reassurance, and inspiration that comes from being part of a supportive community.
Slow Results – Without proven systems, it takes much longer to make progress and even harder to sustain it.
I also share powerful stories of clients who rediscovered their confidence and resilience — from the woman who celebrated her first “thigh gap” at 60 to another who realised she no longer needed sugar to feel good.
These women found strength not just through workouts and nutrition, but by surrounding themselves with support, compassion, and community.
This episode is an invitation to stop walking this road alone.
You don’t need to keep guessing, starting over, or waiting for the “perfect time.”
There’s a better way — one built on science, structure, and sisterhood.
Listen now to discover how working with the right guidance and community can transform your menopause journey — body, mind, and spirit.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.
In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into something that could be the single biggest factor holding you back from feeling energised, confident, and in control during menopause – your daily habits.
I want you to pause as you listen and really look at the patterns shaping your life right now.
Because here’s the truth: the real danger in menopause isn’t your hormones, your age, or even your metabolism.
It’s ignoring your habits.
I share openly from my own journey of feeling lost, exhausted, and angry during perimenopause – when I had no routine, no plan, and no help – and how everything changed when I got the right support, built simple, repeatable habits, and regained control of my health.
I also reveal what I’ve seen time and time again with hundreds of women I’ve coached: when you stabilise your food, training, hydration, and recovery habits, your body starts to respond, your energy rises, your hot flashes ease, and your confidence soars.
You’ll learn:
The hidden dangers of ignoring your habits in menopause – and why they’re more damaging than you think.
Why inconsistency with food, movement, and recovery magnifies your symptoms and accelerates muscle loss.
How small, consistent changes (not fad diets or punishing workouts) protect your metabolism, shrink belly fat, and future-proof your health.
Why “motivation” isn’t the answer – and what really works instead to create lasting change.
The emotional toll of letting your habits slide – from low confidence and disconnection to feeling like a shadow of your former self – and how to reverse it.
This episode isn’t about perfection.
It’s about real life, realistic steps, and how to stop breaking promises to yourself.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck, frustrated, and invisible, and start thriving again, this is the conversation you need to hear.
Click play now to discover the simple but powerful shifts that can bring your energy, confidence, and joy back – and why now is the time to start.

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted.
In this episode I call out the “magic pill” myth and share the unsexy truth that actually works: simple habits, practised consistently, change everything in perimenopause and menopause.
Whether you arrive with decent routines or you’ve been forced to act because symptoms and confidence have crashed, I show you how to build results you can keep—wine and chocolate included—without waiting for motivation to magically appear.
I walk you through the five cornerstone habits that drive at least 80% of results for my clients:
(1) strength training three times a week to protect muscle, bones and metabolism;
(2) prioritising protein at every meal so you stay fuller, balance blood sugar and actually build lean tissue;
(3) purposeful hydration (hello, electrolytes) to reduce bloating, support digestion and steady energy;
(4) stress recovery and high-quality sleep so your hormones and hunger signals stop fighting you; and
(5) planning and preparation to remove decision fatigue and make the right choice the easy choice.
I’m honest about where HRT, supplements and blood work fit in—powerful tools for many, but never a substitute for the habits that carry you through menopause and beyond.
You’ll hear real stories from my coaching—like the vice-principal who protects her 5:30 a.m. workouts despite a new role, and the doctor who felt “on top of the world” within days of locking in these basics.
I share exactly how I structure my own training, meals, recovery, and even family life to keep overwhelm low while progress stays high, plus the practical tweaks that turn good intentions into lived routines.
If you’re done with quick fixes and want a clear, compassionate blueprint that works in real life (and still lets you enjoy a glass of wine), press play.
You’ll leave with a plan you can start today—and the belief that practice, not perfection, is what transforms your body and confidence in the next 90 days.

Welcome back to Menopause Unscripted.
I’m Farah, founder of the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method, where I help career-driven women navigate perimenopause and menopause with a system that makes fat loss, energy, and confidence truly sustainable.
In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest reasons women struggle during menopause: failing to adapt.
For too long, many of us stay stuck in the habits that worked in our twenties and thirties—hours of cardio, skipping meals, cutting carbs—yet now, those methods are backfiring and leaving us frustrated.
I break down the five critical areas you must adapt if you want to stop spinning your wheels and finally see results:
Training – why endless cardio is sabotaging your progress and how strength training preserves muscle and metabolism.
Nutrition – the shift from restriction to balance that keeps your energy stable and cravings at bay.
Recovery – how poor sleep and stress wreck your results, and the recovery practices that turn everything around.
Mindset – letting go of perfectionism and embracing consistency so you stop sabotaging yourself.
Systems – why winging it doesn’t work in menopause, and how structure creates freedom and lasting results.
If you’re tired of clothes not fitting, your energy dipping, or feeling like nothing works anymore, this episode will show you exactly what needs to change.
When you adapt in these five areas, you unlock the shape, strength, and confidence you’ve been chasing.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast.
In this episode, I’m diving into three key reasons why inconsistent habits are keeping so many women stuck when it comes to getting in shape during menopause.
Over the years, I’ve spoken to countless women who feel frustrated, heavier, and less motivated than ever.
They’re trying to recycle the same strategies they used in their 20s and 30s, only to find that nothing is working.
The truth is, your body has changed – and so has the way your hormones respond.
That’s why habits matter now more than ever.
Here’s what I unpack in today’s conversation:
Why your hormones demand consistency – and how erratic routines throw your body into chaos, fuelling cravings, weight gain, and exhaustion.
Why muscle and metabolism don’t thrive on stop–start efforts – and how skipping workouts or relying on bursts of motivation is preventing you from seeing results.
Why inconsistent eating patterns confuse your body – from skipping meals to overeating on weekends, I reveal how this sabotages your progress and what to do instead.
I also share personal stories, real client examples, and practical strategies you can start using today.
From sleep and recovery, to food freedom without deprivation, to building confidence through daily wins – I show you exactly what it takes to break free from inconsistency and finally make progress.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels, or if you’ve said “I’ll start again on Monday” one too many times, this episode will be eye-opening.
It’s not about perfection – it’s about consistency, stacking wins, and building a rhythm that allows you to feel strong, energised, and in control of your menopause journey.

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted.
In this episode, I dive deep into the single most powerful habit that will transform your menopause journey: strength training.
For over a decade I’ve been talking about lifting weights – and I’ll never stop – because so many women still don’t realise just how vital it is.
Cardio alone won’t shift your stubborn midsection fat, protect your bones, or boost your metabolism.
Only progressive, consistent strength training can do that.
I share stories from my clients across the globe who have embraced lifting and seen incredible changes in their health, confidence, and energy.
I also open up about my own journey – from running through postnatal depression, to discovering the hard way in my 40s that cardio couldn’t solve belly fat, to how strength training has carried me through perimenopause, IVF, C-section recovery, and the ups and downs of HRT.
This is not about becoming “skinny” or chasing quick fixes.
It’s about preserving muscle, building strength, and protecting yourself from the health risks of menopause – from brittle bones to visceral fat and metabolic disease.
And let’s be honest, it’s also about mental health, resilience, and feeling in control of your body again.
If you’ve been putting off lifting weights, or if you’ve ever thought yoga or cardio was enough, I challenge you to listen to this episode.
I’ll show you why strength training is non-negotiable if you want to thrive through menopause and beyond.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.
Today I’m diving into a topic that might feel nostalgic—those step aerobics, hours on the treadmill, or endless jogs from the nineties.
Back then, it was all about burning calories at any cost, chasing a smaller number on the scale, and striving for “skinny.”
But here’s the truth: if you’re still relying on that old-school cardio routine, it’s not serving your menopausal body anymore.
In fact, it’s working against you.
Chronic cardio spikes cortisol, drains your energy, stalls recovery, and leads to the very thing we can’t afford—losing precious muscle mass.
In this episode, I share why it’s time to retire from the treadmill obsession and shift your focus to what really works now: strength training, smart walking, and mobility work.
I’ll explain how building muscle, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation are the keys to feeling strong, energised, and confident in menopause and beyond.
You’ll hear real stories from women I coach, including how breaking free from the “cardio trap” completely transformed their results.
This isn’t about chasing your 30-year-old body or living in the past—it’s about creating the strongest, fittest version of yourself today.
If you want to know how to train for muscle, not misery, and finally see lasting results, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

Why Your Vigorous Exercise Routine is Failing You in Menopause
Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.
In today’s conversation, I dive into a powerful truth that many women in perimenopause and menopause are yet to realise: pushing harder in the gym may actually be holding you back.
If you’ve been sweating buckets in HIIT classes, spin sessions, or long runs and still not seeing results, this episode will explain why.
I break down the cortisol trap—how excessive, high-intensity training spikes stress hormones, stalls fat loss, worsens sleep, and fuels cravings.
More isn’t better anymore.
Your body has changed, and your exercise needs to change too.
I share the story of a client who swapped endless running for just three 30-minute weightlifting sessions a week and finally saw her body transform.
We’ll explore why strength training is the smarter, hormone-friendly solution, helping you build lean muscle, protect your bones, and boost confidence for the long haul.
This episode isn’t about chasing skinny.
It’s about creating a strong, resilient body that will carry you powerfully through menopause and beyond.
I’ll also reveal the Five to Thrive habits—from nutrition and sleep to recovery and supplements—that work alongside smart training to rebalance your hormones and reshape your life.
If you’re tired of punishing workouts that leave you exhausted and frustrated, it’s time to listen.
This conversation may just change how you train—and how you feel—for good.

Hello and welcome to another menopause podcast.
Today I’m tackling one of the most overlooked – yet game-changing – habits for fat loss and symptom relief in menopause: hydration.
If you think you’re drinking “enough” water, or that your fatigue, bloating, cravings, and brain fog are just “part of menopause,” you need to hear this.
In this episode, I reveal how even mild dehydration can mimic hunger, worsen hot flushes, increase irritability, and slow your metabolism.
I share why menopausal bodies absorb water less effectively, why coffee and wine aren’t helping your hydration (even if they’re liquid), and how simple changes – from adding squash or herbal teas, to using electrolytes – can transform the way you feel.
I also talk about my own journey from hating water to making it a non-negotiable habit, how I changed my children’s hydration habits for life, and why you should never “panic chug” litres at the end of the day.
If you’re ready to reduce brain fog, feel lighter, regulate your temperature, and make fat loss easier – without giving up your morning coffee – this episode will show you exactly how.
