For a high protein breakfast idea…
.
Have you tried QUARK?
.
A soft yoghurt like cheese, made from skimmed milk that is not unlike fromage frais
.
It is popular in Germany and has recently become available in larger supermarkets in the UK
.
Quark is high in protein, around 12g per 100g and is therefore a good option for breakfast- that’s higher than Greek yoghurt
.
So it can make a great breakfast option
.
It may also be good for your gut health
Here is how I have been enjoying quark…
.
125g of quark (unflavoured)
100g of berries
30g of kefir
1 tsp of tahini
1/2 portion of vanilla protein powder (I use @vivolife Perform)
.
Blend all ingredients together and serve with Optional toppings such as low sugar granola, sprinkles of nut or seeds
.
This recipe has over 35g of protein and keeps me going until lunch
.

SOUP SEASON - Spiced lentils, mushroom & greens
.
In debated whether to post this as it is FAR from Insta perfect… 😅 but such a quick and nourishing soup, I just had to share
.
I was home alone so I made this just for one but you could easily increase the amounts done more people
.
160g Chicken broth - I used @boroughbrothcompany
Handful of shitake mushrooms
125g of ready cooked puy or beluga lentils - I used @merchantgourmet
A handful of roughly chopped broccoli
A grated carrot. I sometimes use spinach too
1 tsp garam masala
A splash of apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
.
All thrown into a saucepan and cooked for about 10 minutes… and that’s it!
.
Around 27g of protein, nutrients to support gut and immune health, a super quick lunch or supper 😋
.
Save this post and enjoy

If you are using yogurt as a source of protein (protein is SO important especially for midlife women and beyond)
.
Here’s what you need to know…
.
There are a huge range of yoghurts available in supermarkets, so having this info could be useful for choosing the right one... especially if you are trying to increase the protein content of your diet
.
Approximate protein content per 200g serving (depending on the brand)
.
Skyr - 20g
Greek Yoghurt - 20g
Sheep’s yoghurt - 11 g
Greek style yoghurt - 10g
Soya yoghurt - 8g
Coconut yoghurt - 4g
.
The most common misunderstanding can be around Greek yoghurt and Greek style yoghurt... there is a BIG difference in the protein content
.
For those that can tolerate dairy, I regularly recommend Greek yoghurt as a breakfast. Adding a scoop of protein powder can further increase the protein content. Plus few nuts/seeds and a portion of low sugar fruit for extra fibre and sweetness and you have a good breakfast
.

Today is World Menopause Day
.
We have come a long way in the last few years with bringing this much needed conversation out in the open, right where it should be…
.
Thank you to all the medical professionals who educated us around HRT (aka MHT)
.
AND to all those who use evidence based practice to help those that experience menopause to make informed decisions around their care 🙏
.
Here are just a few I follow and admire:
.
@dr_naomipotter
@drmaryclaire
@drshahzadiharper
@drvondawright
@berkshiremenopauseclinic
.
I know many of my clients feel that they have benefited from HRT and some that for whatever reason, have not… it may not be the right decision for everyone
.
My POV, everyone could benefit from how nutrition and lifestyle could support them in managing menopause
.
Whether they use HRT or not
.
It’s not an either or…

ANXIETY IN PERI/MENOPAUSE
.
Peri-menopause symptoms can be both physical and psychological.
.
The physical symptoms tend to be the ones that we hear about the most, the hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain, skin changes etc
.
But it can often be it is the psychological symptoms that take us by surprise.
.
Increased anxiety can be one of those unexpected symptoms... and is a symptom that many women find difficult to manage in peri-menopause.
.
Anxiety can show up in lots of ways; feeling unable to cope, worrying excessively, feeling overwhelmed, fearing the worst...
.
It can also show up as physical symptoms such as a racing heart or shortness of breath and even panic attacks
.
Research has also associated increased anxiety with the increased incidence of hot flushes.
.
One of the reasons anxiety can increase in perimenopause is due to fluctuating levels of hormones.
.
Oestrogen plays a role in regulating moods. It also has an effect on the levels of feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain) such as serotonin
.
Diet and lifestyle could help. Here are my top 5 tips
1. Keep your blood sugar balanced
2. Minimise caffeine and alcohol
3. Support you gut health
4. Prioritise sleep
5. Moderate exercise daily
There’s not enough room here… but more information on all of these topics can be found my website, link on my bio
.
And of course PLEASE speak to your GP or healthcare provider if you are finding your anxiety difficult to manage or cope with
.
What had been your experience of anxiety in perimenopause? Has or taken you by surprise?

A lot goes on behind the scenes before your first nutrition consultation
.
An analysis of a comprehensive health questionnaire - this provides me with essential information to make recommendations and for helping you to manage your health.
.
A health timeline - this helps me to understand your health story… symptoms and health issues may have been triggered by previous health issues, medications or significant events in your life.
.
A health matrix connecting the biological systems with in the body. This helps identify potential root causes of your symptoms and health issues
.
Analysis of a recent food diary - so that I can see what may be missing from your diet or what may be triggering your symptoms
.
I may also need to complete additional research around a specific symptom, condition or medication referring to the latest scientific literature.
.
All of this typically happens before you have an initial consultation
.
And is how I get the best results for my clients 😍
.
This is personalised nutrition and is as unique as you

Rural Mallorca Break - September
.
Everyone needs a break from time to time, whether it’s a trip overseas, a staycation or visiting family and friends
.
The benefits can be amazing and supportive to health and wellbeing 🤩
.
A change of scenery can help to manage stress, relax and reset
.
Many of the lifestyle factors we seek to address with nutritional therapy and functional medicine
.
I took a few days off recently to visit rural Mallorca.
.
If you haven’t been, it is very beautiful, we were surrounded by nature and amazing views
.
Just what was needed after a busy summer… and the results showed on my wearable fitness/health device (I use a @whoop wrist band)
.
Every health marker improved whilst I was away 😀
.
I highly recommend a few days of away if this is an option for you
.
And if not, taking some time out to explore some places in your local area or spend some extra time with friends could be helpful too
.
I’m all for bringing more joy into our lives 😍
.
Do holidays and breaks create feelings of wellness for you too?
