If you haven’t listened to this podcast yet do it now!

Dr Fatima Khan on The Imperfects with Zoë Foster Blake is exactly the conversation women in perimenopause need to hear.

I had the privilege of sharing a stage with Fatima at the Peri2Meno event in Bendigo last year. Her approach to women’s hormonal health is something I deeply respect and align with.

HRT is a powerful tool. So are GLP-1s. But what this conversation reminds us is that understanding your body first changes everything.

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and something feels off ie your sleep, your mood, your energy, your weight then this episode is for you.

There’s a version of you that only shows up for about ten days a month.

She’s sharper with the kids. She wakes at 3am too hot to get back to sleep. She stands at the pantry after dinner wondering why she’s still hungry when she ate well all day.

Most women meet her every cycle and decide she’s just stress, or a busy week, or what turning 40 feels like.

She has a pattern. Progesterone, oestrogen, blood sugar and body temperature all shift in the second half of your cycle, and each symptom points to something specific underneath.

Once you can name what’s showing up, you stop being surprised by her and start planning for her.

Save this for day 15.

You all know by now that protein powder isn’t just for gym girls 💪

But if you’re dealing with energy crashes, afternoon cravings, poor sleep or a stubborn midsection, protein is one of the simplest places to start, and it’s all connected to your hormones.

But you need to know the why:
🩸 Protein steadies your blood sugar. Fewer spikes and crashes means less cortisol pressure and fewer 3pm biscuit raids.
🧬 It provides the building blocks your body uses to make hormones and neurotransmitters, and to support your liver in clearing used hormones.
💪 As oestrogen declines through perimenopause, we lose muscle more easily. Enough protein helps protect it, and muscle is key for metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

But everyone has told me lately that the protein aisle is confusing 🤯 so here’s what you need to know.

Whey: WPC vs WPI 🥛
Whey comes from milk, so it contains lactose, which some women don’t digest well.
WPC (concentrate) is less processed and keeps more of whey’s natural goodness, but it also keeps more lactose. If dairy agrees with you, a clean grass-fed WPC is a lovely option.
WPI (isolate) is filtered further, so it has less than 1g of lactose per serve. If whey leaves you bloated, try 100% WPI before giving up on it.
If WPI still doesn’t suit you, you may be reacting to the dairy proteins themselves, so go plant.

Plant-based 🌱 is a great option if dairy isn’t your friend. Choose a blend, like pea and rice, to get a complete protein.

Collagen ✨ is lovely for skin, hair and joints, but it’s missing some of the building blocks your muscles need, so it doesn’t replace your main protein source.

Read the back, not the front. Artificial sweeteners, gums, fillers and added sugars can upset sensitive guts and blood sugar. A short ingredient list is your friend.

Swipe to see my go-to options 👉

✅ WHAT TO LOOK FOR
• 20–25g protein per scoop
• Grass-fed whey that suits your gut, or a plant blend
• Short ingredient list
• No artificial sweeteners or added sugars
• Third-party tested

💡 Easy win: add a scoop of unflavoured protein to your morning oats or yoghurt. It adds about 20g of protein with zero effort, and you won’t taste it.

Your breakfast looks 👌 on paper.

Poached eggs, smashed avo, a handful of rocket. A green smoothie on the busier mornings. Salad at lunch, eaten at the desk between emails. And by 3pm you’re standing at the pantry eating crackers straight from the box, wondering where your willpower went.

This is not a willpower problem. Your breakfast likely fell short on protein, a lunch with almost no fibre to slow the glucose down, and cortisol stepping in mid-afternoon to cover the gap.

Eating healthy is a direction. Eating for a goal is a plan. If you want steadier energy, fat loss that actually moves, or a calmer week before your period, “healthy” is too vague to get you there. Four things need to be known first.

1. Your protein, in grams. Most women are eating far less than they think, and the shortfall shows up as cravings, poor recovery and a body that holds on.

2. Whether you’re eating enough at all. Chronic under-eating in your 40s keeps cortisol high and signals your body to conserve, which is the opposite of what you’re working so hard for.

3. Your phase. What your body needs in the luteal phase, or in perimenopause, is not what it needed at 32.

4. Your fibre. Almost nobody counts it, and it quietly governs your blood sugar, your gut and how well you clear oestrogen.

Nutrition is the foundation everything else sits on. Your sleep, your mood, your training, even whether your supplements do anything. When the foundation is right, everything built on top of it finally has something to hold onto.

When you are feeling exhausted all the time it’s easy to put it down to perimenopause, and sometimes that is part of the picture..

But fatigue is one of the most common symptoms I see, and it rarely has just one cause.

It can also come from:

- low iron or ferritin (very common in women with heavy periods or poor gut function)
- a sluggish thyroid
- poor or broken sleep
- blood sugar swings and stress keeping cortisol on high alert
- a full plate with no room to recover

These often overlap. If we only treat one, or just put it all down to “hormones”, you can end up trying everything and still feeling flat.

Real answers come from looking at the whole picture: your symptoms, your history and the right testing. Then we know where to focus, instead of guessing.

You don’t have to accept feeling tired as your new normal 💛

If this sounds like you, comment ENERGY or send me a DM and I’ll help you find the real reason.

Life lately - endless boxes, school holidays and finally after months of house prep, packing, unpacking - finding my way back to the kitchen 😍

Truth - moving house only two years after building/landscaping and finishing our home has been huge… But we actually found this house - the exact floorplan and facade we wanted last time but weren’t ready to have stairs.. and it was in the next street so we weren’t too far from our awesome neighbours 🥳

This time round unpacking has felt harder than ever… not sure if it’s because kids are older and life doesn’t stop for you to catch up… or school hols coincide with settlement 🫠 Having no family close by sucks 🥲

Beach escapes, close friend catch ups and play dates kept us sane. After 9 quiet months of prepping, selling and moving, I’m ready to socialise again... in small doses, with my favourite people. Introvert life.

Having the time and space to be able to cook lots again has warmed my heart. OJ from scratch, pizza dough, trialling new recipes for school lunches - the BEST. Currently planning the veg/herb garden next 🌿

Letting my nervous system adjust has been huge.Three months of prep, one month on the market, weekly opens... and it sold in 4 weeks. We were only in it for one house. Still feels surreal. Thank you, universe.

Welcomed a new member to the family - he will be very loved for his 90sec pizzas (hence the new pizza dough path)..

Finished the holidays at a local animal farm. The owner bought something from us on Marketplace and insisted we bring the girls out. Best day ever.

Trialled high protein waffles and safe to say everyone is obsessed 😍 Freezing these for breakfast/lunchbox options (oats and cottage cheese + protein powder = so much goodness and so filling)

This was definitely something that fell off the last few months. Batch prepping stayed but it was lots of quick meals, leftovers, cooked chicken rolls etc.

It’s not one BIG thing. It’s a quiet unease about what’s next that you’ve never said out loud.

It’s becoming the one who manages your parents’ appointments while you’re still raising your own kids.

It’s answering a message “real quick” long after you clocked off.

It’s navigating life with no family support and carrying it all quietly.

It’s being the friend who initiates, listens, holds space, and never gets asked how she’s actually doing.

None of that feels like stress while it’s happening. It just feels like your average Tuesday.

Your nervous system doesn’t care that it felt manageable in the moment. It doesn’t sort load into categories. It just adds it up, silently, and eventually your body sends you the bill.

That’s why the protocol stopped working. You were treating what was easy to see while the real thing kept building underneath it.

Save this if you just realised why nothing’s been working.

Different decade. Different rules, apparently the rules now include waking up at 3am to review decisions I made in 2009 🙃

At 22 you could run on four hours of sleep and a 4 coffees. Now you skip one dinner and your body sends you an invoice at 3:17am, itemised, with interest 🫠

Nobody warned us about this part. The w**e tolerance goes first. Then the recovery time. Then your ability to skip a meal without your nervous system treating it like a threat to national security.

This is not you falling apart. This is just what happens when your body has spent two more decades keeping score.

Tell me your 3:17am topic of choice. 👇

Your gut and your hormones are in constant conversation. Like ALWAYS!

BUT chronic stress keeps your nervous system on high alert, which slows digestion and throws off what’s known as your gut motility.

Blood sugar swings spike your cortisol, which pulls resources away from progesterone production.

So a gut lining that’s been inflamed for months struggles to clear used estrogen properly, and as a result it recirculates instead of leaving the body.

None of these show up as “your hormones are broken.” They show up as bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and a body that feels like it’s working against you.

This is why so many women fix the “gut issue,” feel better for a few weeks, then watch the fatigue and mood swings creep back in. They treated the symptom that shouted the loudest. Not the system underneath it.

The women who actually get their energy and mood back aren’t the ones chasing the loudest symptom. They’re the ones who stopped and asked what’s actually driving all of it.

Your ferritin appears low🫣. The infusion is booked 😬Ten minute appointment, done.

Before you say yes, here are seven things worth asking your Practitioner first.

Most of them take one extra blood test or one extra question. None of them are unreasonable to ask for.
