Why Your Diet Isn’t Working—Especially in Perimenopause (and What to Do Instead)

You’re doing “everything right”—watching what you eat, trying to cut sugar, squeezing in exercise, even skipping the wine a few nights a week.

But your body doesn’t feel the same anymore.
The belly weight won’t budge.
Your energy tanks by 3pm.
Your sleep is patchy.
And your moods? All. Over. The. Place.
Welcome to perimenopause—where the old rules no longer work, and your body is asking for something completely different.
You’re not lazy. Your hormones are shifting.
In perimenopause and menopause, your metabolism, gut, and nervous system are undergoing massive change. Estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate wildly. Your body’s ability to tolerate stress, digest certain foods, and regulate blood sugar is not what it used to be.
Many women start dieting harder or exercising more… and see even worse results.
That’s not a failure—it’s a signal.
Your body isn’t broken. It’s just not being supported the way it needs.
Common signs your body is out of balance:
- Bloating and digestive discomfort
- Difficulty losing weight (especially around the middle)
- Brain fog and forgetfulness
- Anxiety, low mood, or mood swings
- Sugar cravings and poor sleep
- Fatigue that coffee doesn’t touch
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Here’s what actually works: a personalised, whole-body approach
When I work with women in this stage of life, we don’t count calories.
We listen to the body—then give it exactly what it needs to thrive.
Using Metabolic Balance and naturopathy, I build nutrition and lifestyle plans based on:
- Your blood work and hormonal profile
- Your digestion and gut health
- Your sleep, stress load, and daily rhythms
- Your goals, and what’s realistically manageable
No more second-guessing. No more restrictive rules that backfire. Just clear, tailored steps that help your body feel safe, nourished, and supported again.
This is your permission slip to stop fighting your body.
Your symptoms are messages. Your body wants to heal. It just needs the right support—and that starts with you.
