I have to admit that I’m not much of a breakfast person, but this homemade granola I actually look forward to and is so easy to make and is a great when you’re in a hurry (or feeling a bit lazy) to stop you reaching for the standard toast or cereal which lacks the essential nutrients our body needs.
The perimenopause can cause major changes to the shape of our body and how it distributes excess weight. Often we gain weight more easily and in places we never have before and it affects our confidence and how we feel about ourselves.
In this video I explore the reasons imbalanced hormones affect our weight and what we can do to lose that weight without going on ‘a diet’.
You’ve managed to eat well all day and are feeling quite proud of yourself, then the evening comes the cravings hit and you eat an entire family sized bar of galaxy. Or you really meant to just stop at one glass of red wine (after all it is good for you!) but one glass turns into a bottle. The next day, you’re probably beating yourself up for your lack of willpower or blaming your husband/partner/best friend for offering it to you in the first place and not helping you. Sound familiar?
The perimenopause can make you feel really angry, irritable and just plain raging for no reason at all.
You can feel so frustrated and even embarrassed by your outbursts and this video looks at the reasons why you feel so angry and what you can do to help take back control of your emotions.
The perimenopause is a natural process that happens to every woman. It can start as early as your late thirties as your hormone levels decline and you head away from those fertile years. Fluctuating oestrogen levels can mean that you experience a few nasty symptoms during this time as oestrogen is beneficial for lots of different processes in the body.
The perimenopause can be a difficult time emotionally. Your body is changing, your moods are all over the place and you don’t know whether you are coming and going.
Your confidence can feel really knocked by the perimenopause, and you feel like your mojo as well and truly left the building. This video looks at the reasons why you feel like this and what you can do to help increase your confidence.
