Beyond The Scales Part 7: Your Body Is Not The Enemy There’s a phrase I’ve found myself coming back to again and again over the last couple of years. Your body is not the enemy. And yet for so many women, especially in midlife, that’s exactly how we end up treating it. We fight it. We criticise it. We punish it. We restrict it. We compare it. We blame it. We get frustrated that it doesn’t look the way it used to. We get annoyed that it doesn’t respond the way it did in our 20

Beyond The Scales Part 10: The Power of Saying Yes in Midlife If there is one lesson that has changed my life more than any other over the last couple.of years... it's this..... Sometimes you have to say yes before you feel ready. 🙈🙈 As a women's health coach, fitness instructor and woman navigating life after 50, I've spent a lot of time talking to other women about confidence, health, menopause and personal growth. And I've noticed something. So many of us are waiting....

Beyond The Scales Part 9 Trusting The Process One of the hardest things I've had to learn over the last 18 months is to trust the process. Not the quick fixes. Not the promises. Not the "lose a stone in four weeks" headlines. The process. The boring stuff. The stuff nobody really talks about. The daily walk. The strength training. The protein. The hydration. The early nights. The consistency. The showing up even when you don't feel like it. Because if I'm honest, there have b

Hello lovely, When I first started the Sunday Supplement Series, the idea was simple. Each Sunday I would talk about a different supplement, explain what it does, who it might help and whether it's something worth considering. But over the last few months something interesting has happened. The conversations have become much bigger than supplements. The messages you've sent me haven't just been about magnesium, creatine or vitamin D. They've been questions like: 💭 Why am I s

Why Protein Is Essential for Women Over 40: Healthy Nutrition Tips for Menopause, Fat Loss and Strength If you're a woman over 40 struggling with weight gain, low energy, loss of muscle or menopausal symptoms, you're not alone. One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is under-eating protein and over-restricting calories. Healthy nutrition for women over 40 isn't about eating less. It's about eating smarter. As we move through perimenopause and menopause, our hormones cha

BEYOND THE SCALES PART 8 Menopause Nutrition: Why You Need to Fuel Your Body, Not Starve It If you're a woman over 40 struggling with low energy, poor recovery, cravings and frustrating workouts, the answer might not be eating less. It might be eating more. I know that sounds strange coming from someone who has spent years in the health and fitness industry, but it's a lesson I've had to learn myself. For years I practised intermittent fasting. Or, to put it more simply, I sk

Beyond The Scales Part 6 The Cost of Waiting Until You Feel Good Enough This blog has been sitting in my head for a while... In fact, if I'm completely honest, I've nearly not written it!!!! Not because I don't believe in the message, but because I still struggle with it myself....and i feel exposed!@ You see, lately I've found myself holding back. Holding back from videos. Holding back from photos. Holding back from showing up fully online. Why? Because I'm not entirely happ

Beyond The Scales Part 5: When The Camera Doesn't Tell The Full Story This week I watched a video of myself teaching one of my fitness classes. And if I'm honest... My heart sank a little. It wasn't what I expected to see. I found myself focusing on angles I didn't like, the things I wished were different and the areas I thought I'd made more progress on. I even caught myself thinking: "Is that really what I look like?" Now before anyone says it, I know a camera only captures

Beyond The Scales Part 4 HRT, Strength Training and Learning to Respect My Body Again It's been just over a week since I restarted HRT, and I thought it was time for a little update on my menopause fitness journey. A lot of people have asked me how I'm getting on. The honest answer? So far, I'm feeling good. My mood has been really positive. Whether that's down to the HRT, coming back from a wonderful retreat in France, getting back into my normal routine, or a combination of

Hello Lovely, I hope you've had a wonderful week. It's been a busy one here at AG Fitness, Health & Wellbeing as I've settled back into normal life after our Empower & Elevate Retreat in France. It's hard to believe it's already been a week since we returned. The retreat was everything we'd hoped for and more. Five beautiful days of movement, laughter, connection, relaxation, delicious food, sunshine and creating memories that will stay with us for a very long time. One thing

BEYOND THE SCALES – PART 3 The Hormone Detective: What My Test Results Revealed There comes a point where you have two choices. You can keep guessing... Or you can start gathering information. That's exactly where I found myself recently. After months of training consistently, prioritising protein, walking daily, taking care of myself and doing all the things I would normally recommend to my clients, I still felt like something wasn't quite adding up. I wasn't feeling terribl

# BEYOND THE SCALES “Why The Scales Can Mess With Your Head After 40” The conversation more women need to hear 🩷 There’s something I’ve realised lately… So many women are carrying around frustration, guilt and disappointment because of a number on the scales. And honestly? I think years of dieting culture have conditioned us to believe our worth, success and progress all come down to body weight. Lose weight = doing well Gain weight = failing But what if that’s not the full

Summer Soul Stretch & Sound Bath: An Evening to Reset, Recharge & Reconnect As women, life can feel FULL ON sometimes. The constant rushing. The overthinking. The pressure to keep spinning all the plates while trying to look after everybody else. And somewhere amongst all of that… we forget to slow down ourselves. That’s exactly why we created the Summer Soul Stretch & Sound Bath — a beautiful outdoor evening designed to help you breathe deeper, move gently, relax fully and r

This is probably one of the biggest conversations I’m having with women over 40 right now… “I don’t understand it.” “I’m eating well.” “I’m exercising.” “I’m trying.” “So WHY am I gaining weight?” And honestly? I completely understand the frustration because I’ve been feeling it myself too. You start questioning everything: Am I eating too much? Am I not training hard enough? Is my metabolism broken? Why did things work before but not now? Why does my body suddenly feel so di

I’ve gone backwards and forwards about posting this because, honestly, it feels quite personal. And part of me wondered: “Will anyone even care?” “Will anyone relate?” “Am I just oversharing?” But deep down, I think this conversation is important ❤️ Because over the last year or so, I’ve found myself feeling increasingly frustrated with my body. And that’s hard to admit as someone who works in the fitness industry. I train hard. I move regularly. I eat well. I prioritise prot

I’m going to be honest… this is something I’ve personally struggled with too. As a women’s fitness coach, people probably assume I’ve always found it easy to stay in shape, maintain my weight and feel confident in my body. But when I hit perimenopause and then menopause, things changed. And honestly? It completely threw me at first. I found myself doing all the things that had “worked” before: eating less training harder trying to be stricter cutting back more …but instead of
