I love this quote by Richard Schulze☝ It is a great reminder that we have to be responsible for everything that we are consuming in order to be our own best health advocate.

Whether in peri-menopause, menopause or post-menopause… ⁣
⁣
You must exercise! ⁣
⁣
It is essential to having a positive menopausal experience as well as your long-term health. ⁣
⁣
I recommend a combination of: ⁣
⁣
🏋️‍♂️ Strength training – ideally heavy weights, but also body weight and resistance bands⁣
🏃‍♀️ HIIT – high intensity to get your heart rate up⁣
🧘‍♀️ Restorative exercise - slow gentle walking/yoga/Pilates ⁣
⁣
For me, the restorative exercise is the hardest 🙈 ⁣

How about you?

Should I cut out gluten/dairy/sugar/fill in the bl

Should I cut out gluten/dairy/sugar/fill in the blank? This is something I get asked daily. ⁣
⁣
Every time you eat your body sends signs and symptoms as to whether or not it is happy with your choice. ⁣
⁣
Most of us are so busy and so disconnected from our bodies that we aren’t even aware of these signs and symptoms.⁣
⁣
When was the last time you sat and checked in with yourself directly after a meal? Or an hour or two after a meal? ⁣
⁣
If you are thinking about cutting out gluten etc I would recommend keeping a diary of what you ate and how you felt afterwards, noting physical symptoms, energy, mood and hunger/satisfaction. ⁣
⁣
Removed food for 3 weeks. Then re-introduce for 3 days again keeping a diary. If no reactions, you can assume this food is ok. Repeat the process with e.g. dairy. ⁣
⁣
Elimination diets are not a quick fix, but they are still the gold standard for food sensitivity testing. It takes time and commitment and requires you to slow down and really tune into your body. But it is worth it. ⁣
⁣
If you need help, feel free to DM me.⁣
