As a clinical nutritionist I support and educate women on how to quit the dieting and self sabotage, and to balance their hormones to get their energy back, lose unwanted weight, sleep better, achieve glowing skin, increase their libido and achieve a regular menstrual cycle without premenstrual symptoms such as headaches, pain and cravings.

I’m 41 and I wish I learned these fitness truths much earlier than I did…

1️⃣ Doing hundreds of sit-ups won’t give you visible abs.

Building muscle, stabilising blood sugar, and improving your nutrition and eating enough protein will.

2️⃣ Your workouts don’t need to leave you exhausted and sweaty to be effective.

More sweat doesn’t automatically mean better results.

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is turning every strength session into cardio.

Building strength, progressing your lifts, and recovering well will take you further than constantly trying to burn more calories.

3️⃣ If you’ve been using the same 5kg weights for the last year, it’s probably why you’re not seeing changes with your physique…it’s time to go heavier.

Your body adapts.

If you want to change your body composition, build muscle, and support your metabolism, your body needs a reason to change.

4️⃣ Running alone won’t create the body most women are chasing.

Cardio is great for your heart and cardiovascular health.

But strength training is what changes your shape.

If you want to look “toned”, and feel strong as you age, strength training is non-negotiable.

5️⃣ Recovery is important.

If you’re working out 5+ days a week, and not seeing changes with your body, it’s time to reevaluate your routine.

Enough good sleep, rest days, and recovery are essential.

If you’re constantly tired, pushing through, and wondering why your body isn’t responding, doing more may not be the answer.

Supporting your recovery might be.

After over a decade helping women get leaner, stronger, and feel better in their body, I can tell you this:

Women over 40 are being given outdated advice for a body that has very different hormonal and metabolic needs now.

Here are 5 things I do that most women think will make them GAIN weight after 40…

but actually make fat loss easier:

1. I stopped fasting through the morning.

Skipping breakfast and pushing through on coffee made my cravings, cortisol, and energy worse - especially now after 40.

Now I fast after dinner and eat 30-50g of protein with breakfast and my energy, mood, and body composition is better for it.

3. I eat carbs with dinner every night, and after training.

Carbs support thyroid function, recovery, sleep, and cortisol regulation.

Eating them strategically improved my energy and cravings massively.

4. I intentionally eat MORE food before and during my period.

My body is using more energy at this time, so naturally I’m hungrier.

So instead of trying to “be good,” I support it with more food and nourishment - instead of battling with constant cravings.

4. I prioritise steps, walking and strength training over smashing cardio.

Building muscle improves insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and healthy ageing.

And walking helps keep me lean without adding more stress to my body.

5. I stopped counting calories and deleted MyFitnessPal

The more I counted calories, the worse my relationship with food - and myself - became. And the harder it was for me to get lean & stay lean.

Sure, track if you want to do a fitness comp.

But for the majority of women over 40 who want to feel leaner, stronger, and feel GREAT in your body again…you don’t need to count every calorie to get in shape and stay in shape.

Your hormones and metabolism after 40 need support.
Not more restriction.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing what your body needs, and finally feel leaner, stronger, more energised - and more like YOU again…

You’re eating MORE protein than ever.

Eggs for breakfast.
Chicken on your salad.
Protein yoghurt.
A shake after training…

And somehow instead of feeling leaner, you’re:

Bloated.
Puffy.
And still hungry.

Here’s what nobody tells you about protein and fat loss after 35:

1. You’re drinking your protein, instead of eating it.

A shake is fine for a protein boost.
But a liquid protein powder on its own doesn’t keep you as full as whole food protein sources…so you can end up looking for more food not long after 👀

2. You’re only hitting protein at dinner.

Coffee with collagen for breakfast.
Maybe 2 eggs.
A salad with a shrivel of chicken for lunch.
Then finally a proper protein-heavy dinner.

Cue the….
low afternoon energy
3PM cravings
overeating after dinner

3. You’re “adding protein” but not building meals around it.

Most women have 2 eggs for breakfast = 12g protein…

Not enough protein if you want to manage hunger and keep cravings down (and stop the snacking).

You want to aim for 30–50g of protein per meal.

4. Digestion is the bottleneck.

If protein leaves you:

• bloated
• overly full
• sluggish
• dealing with reflux

Protein digestion starts in the stomach.

If digestion is off?
You may not be breaking food down or absorbing nutrients well.

5. You’re focusing on protein and missing other important factors.

If:
• sleep is poor
• stress is high
• cravings are chaotic
• blood sugar is unstable
• training isn’t aligned

…more chicken isn’t the fix.

Protein helps.
It’s not magic.
The whole body has to be supported.

This is exactly what I’m unpacking inside my FREE RECLAIM Masterclass for women 35+ who feel like they’re doing all the “right things”… but their body isn’t responding the way it used to.

We’re covering:

✔ why fat loss feels different after 35
✔ what’s driving cravings, low energy + stubborn body fat
✔ why old-school “eat less, do more” advice backfires
✔ what works for women over 35 who want to get leaner, stronger, and more energised

Because apparently all his body needed was fewer beers…🙃

Jokes aside…

So many women over 35 assume that when their body stops responding, the answer is to:

➡️ train more
➡️ eat less
➡️ be stricter
➡️ cut carbs
➡️ do another extreme challenge

But fat loss after 35 isn’t about trying harder.

Because what changes now is things like:

➡️ blood sugar swings that make cravings louder
➡️ stress that keeps your body feeling wired and exhausted
➡️ natural muscle loss that changes how your body responds
➡️ poor sleep that makes hunger harder to manage
➡️ hormonal shifts that make old strategies feel less effective

Which means doing MORE can make things worse.

This is exactly where so many smart, capable women get stuck.

Because when the scale doesn’t move - or your body composition isn’t changing the way it used to - the instinct is almost always:

push harder.

And for a while?
That can feel productive.

Until:

your energy tanks
cravings get louder
consistency gets harder
your relationship with food becomes more controlling

…and your body STILL isn’t responding

That’s usually a sign your strategy needs to change.

If your effort isn’t matching your results anymore, this is exactly what I’m covering inside my FREE live masterclass.

Inside we’ll unpack:

✔ why fat loss after 35 feels different
✔ why old school advice often backfires
✔ what’s driving cravings, food noise + fat loss resistance
✔ what works now to create results without getting stricter, more obsessive, or jumping into another extreme plan

The advice to “eat every 2–3 hours” might be one of the worst fat loss tips still being given to women over 40.

I’ve seen women:
training hard
counting calories
eating every 2–3 hours…
and still not seeing body composition changes.

Here’s why:

👉 Constantly eating isn’t the metabolism hack you’ve been told it is

One of the biggest myths in fitness?
That eating every 2–3 hours “keeps your metabolism firing.”

It doesn’t.

If you’re eating 6 times a day, especially low-protein, snacky meals that don’t satisfy you…

You can end up: hungrier, more food-focused, craving more, and riding unstable energy all day.

👉You’re basically training yourself to think about food all day

Planning the next meal.
Needing a snack.
Watching the clock because it’s “time to eat” again.

Never properly hungry.
Never properly satisfied.
For busy women juggling career, kids, life?

That’s not realistic…it’s exhausting.

👉 The meals themselves are often the problem

Because “eat every 2–3 hours” usually turns into:

protein bars
rice cakes
processed snack foods
meals with barely enough protein, fibre, or fats to satisfy you.

So instead you feel hungry, crave sugar, and think about food all day.

👉 Hormones change the game after 40

Declining oestrogen.
Higher stress loads.
Poorer sleep.
Natural muscle loss.

So following old-school bodybuilding advice… or taking fat loss cues from a 20 something living on protein “healthy” treats that ramp up your cravings later?

Hard pass.

For many women, fewer, bigger and meals with adequate protein, fibre, healthy fats, works far better.

You’re not broken.
But following outdated fat loss advice for this stage of life?
That’ll make you feel like you are.

And this is EXACTLY what I’m teaching inside my FREE RECLAIM METHOD MASTERCLASS 🔥

For women 35+ who are:

✔ training but not seeing results
✔ battling cravings
✔ low on energy
✔ wondering why their body isn’t responding anymore

My client was going to the gym weekly, and yet her body hadn’t changed in months.

She’d built a successful career through taking action and a solid work ethic.
She was used to putting in the effort to get results.

And yet - her body wasn’t reflecting the level of effort she was putting in.

The issue was:

• Her workouts kept her fit, but they weren’t structured to change body composition

• Her nutrition was “healthy,” but didn’t support her shifting hormones, metabolism, or the all day energy and fat loss she wanted

• She was consuming a lot of information online, but missing the foundations that actually create sustainable results

This is the step most women who’ve built successful careers and businesses miss…
they wonder why they can execute everywhere else, yet feel stuck with their body.

You’re not missing results because you’re not trying hard enough.

The strategy you’re using simply isn’t matched for your life now.

You have to work with your hormones - not against them.

This is my specialty.

Driven women who say they’ve “tried everything.”
Women who are used to getting results - except when it comes to fat loss.

I know exactly how to help.

You’re doing all the “right things.”

Training hard.
Eating clean.
Trying to be disciplined.

And yet…
the weight won’t move.
The cravings are constant.
Wine or snacks start feeling like a need — not a choice.

And everything in you thinks:
“I just need to try harder.”
“Be stricter.”
“Why haven’t I got this together?”

Everyone wants the shortcut to fat loss.
But what works after 35 is different.

That’s why, in this 5-part series, I’m breaking down how my 36-year-old banking executive client lost 15kg —
so you can build a lean, strong, healthy body this year.

She didn’t get there by pushing harder.
She got there by doing something she’d never done before:

Working with her hormones.

Here’s what I know after years working with driven women over 35:

You’ve achieved everything you’ve set your mind to.
But somewhere after 35, when it comes to weight loss, your body stopped responding.

And for the first time in your life,
MORE effort has stopped producing better results.

Because a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight
doesn’t release fat.
It holds on.
It slows the system down.

A body in survival will never prioritise
fat loss or muscle building.

You’ve been doing what you were taught, and what you thought were the “right” things.
But those protocols weren’t designed for metabolic health for women over 35.

Metabolic Elite teaches a hormone-supportive framework - not restriction.

31-year-old me (no kids) in 2016 could get away with it.

Six days a week training.
Counting calories.
Pushing through fatigue.
Chasing leanness at all costs.

41-year-old me?
Different body.
Different life.
Different demands.

What was “working” then
isn’t going to work now.

Recovery matters more.
Hormone support matters more.
Stress management matters more.

Back then, continuing to train and eat the same way
was costing me sleep, energy, and my cycle.

That’s when I learned this truth:

👉 You don’t need to work harder in your 40s.
👉 You need a smarter strategy.

One that works with your hormones -
not against them.

Because when there’s:

• insulin resistance
• elevated or dysregulated cortisol
• thyroid imbalance
• a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight
• chronic inflammation
• broken sleep night after night

Your body will not prioritise fat loss or muscle building.

This is why I created Metabolic Elite.

Because nutrition training don’t matter are the foundation - but real transformation happens when the framework is built for your life in your 40s and also supports blood sugar regulation, cortisol load, thyroid function, and your nervous system.

DM or comment ELITE - if you’re doing everything “right” but your body isn’t responding the way it used to and you’re ready for a hormone supportive approach.
