The 3pm energy crash doesn’t have to be part of your day, we can put a few simple things in place to keep the energy, mind and mood more consistent. We might be feeling the 3pm slump more during peri/menopause because of the impact fluctuating hormones have on cortisol and blood sugar balance. My top tips for keeping the 3pm crash at bay - protein for breakfast - don’t skip meals - reduce the caffeine especially after lunch - no coffee (or tea) before food - have a small protein snack at 3pm - get moving at 3pm, go for a walk or have a dance around If you would like a free hormone check in call to talk about your nutrition during menopause head over to my website you can also sign up to my newsletter there.

Do you hit a wall around 3pm every day? One minute you’re fine… The next—you’re exhausted, craving sugar or caffeine just to get through the afternoon. This is SO common in menopause—but it’s not random. Your body is responding to your hormones fluctuating, blood sugar, and stress levels throughout the day. Maybe you're accidentally setting yourself up for the crash. Tonight I’m going LIVE to talk about: -Why the 3pm energy crash happens -What your body is trying to tell you -3 simple ways to stop it happening If you’re tired of dragging yourself through the afternoon, this is for you Join me LIVE every Tuesday 8pm Instagram #sevencoloursofnutrition #yourhormonestellastory #menopauseenergycrash #menopausesupport #perimenopausesupport #hormonehealthclub

The biggest mistakes keeping you exhausted. Don’t skip meals or under-eat This can be tricky if you trying to manage your weight, but when the hormones are fluctuating in perimenopause our body responds to skipping meals with stress hormones, making us feel more exhausted. Relying on caffeine to get through the day It may feel like what you need in the moment but the energy crash will follow. Then sleep is affected and the cycle continues. Pushing through with cardio exercise Swapping out a couple of cardio sessions for weights or a walk will help to keep the stress hormones balanced, this helps to keep energy levels more stable. Protein Yep, the building blocks needed for energy and repair, especially at times when our body is working hard i.e dealing with the changes happening to our body during menopause. Ignoring stress Rest is not lazy or failing it is supporting our body when it needs it.

In menopause it is not just about how you sleep, it is about the quality of your sleep and how well your body recovers overnight. If you are sleeping for 8 hours and still waking up exhausted, here are a few tips for you: - balance your blood sugar with protein and don’t skip meals - reduce the stimulants- caffeine and sugar, they may not stop you getting to sleep but they may be reducing the quality of your sleep - reduce the high impact exercise and swap for gentle strength training and walking - hydrate your body in the morning with water and a pinch of sea salt Let me know if you would like to feel more energised in the morning, book in for a free 20 min call over at my website or sign up to my newsletter. #sevencoloursofnutrition #yourhormonestellastory #menopausenutrition #perimenopausesupport

Why do you feel exhausted… even when you’ve slept? You go to bed at a reasonable time. You think you’ve slept. And yet you wake up feeling just as tired… sometimes more tired. Sound familiar? This is something so many women experience, especially in their 40s and 50s — and it can feel confusing, frustrating, and at times a bit worrying. Tonight I'm talking about: • Why sleep doesn’t always equal rest • What’s happening with your hormones and stress response overnight • The “wired but tired” feeling so many women describe • Gentle ways to support deeper, more restorative sleep Because it’s not just about getting more hours in bed — it’s about how supported your body feels while you’re there. If you’ve been waking at 2–4am, feeling exhausted during the day, or relying on caffeine and sugar just to get through… this conversation is for you. Join me 8pm Instagram live.

Sleep in menopause, commonly becomes tricky. Waking up throughout the night, mind whirring before sleep, feeling shattered the next morning. Here are my three back to basic tips for better sleep: 1. Breakfast Start your day right prepares you for a better nights sleep. No caffeine before breakfast, breakfast within an hour of waking and protein included on your plate (or bowl) 2. Keep a consistent bedtime No matter how sleepy ( or not) you are feeling go to bed at a consistent time (preferably before 11) Also wake up at the same time every morning, no matter how much sleep you have had. Even if you are not asleep stay in bed and rest. 3. Supplement magnesium Take this supplement in the evening, with your evening meal to help relaxation and wind down Remember be consistent to help your body and brain during this time of fluctuating hormones.

Epic fail on the live tonight, didn’t save so here are the points I was talking about. I was talking to women today at an event about perimenopause and the ‘rage’ came up quite a lot. So what’s going on when you can feel the rage rising and you know it is not you. Changes in oestrogen and progesterone cause changes in our brain chemistry, in our emotional regulation, in our stress resilience. Often it is not the thing in front of us that is causing the reaction it is an accumulation of physical symptoms, sleep disturbance, blood sugar dysregulation and low energy. It is about our nervous system being in overwhelm. Ways to support your body and brain - more sleep - create a relaxing bedtime routine - avoid skipping meals - eat at regular intervals - avoid caffeine and sugar when you can feel the stress stacking up If you would like to know more about nutrition and lifestyle to keep things calm sign up to my newsletter at #sevencoloursofnutrition #yourhormonestellastory #menopauserage #menopausesupport #menopausenutrition
