What to do to Stay Healthy After Menopause?
Your Guide to Energy, Strength & Hormone-Smart Living

Once you’ve crossed the menopause threshold, the question becomes: How do I stay well now? While the drama of hormone fluctuation may have settled, your body still needs focused support to thrive in this new phase.
This isn’t about reclaiming your “old self”—it’s about giving your present self the tools to feel strong, steady, and connected from the inside out.

Why Post Menopause Wellness Needs a New Lens
You’re no longer riding the same hormonal tides that defined your reproductive years—or even perimenopause. Post menopause is a time of gentler rhythms, but it also comes with new considerations:
  • Your adrenals and thyroid take on more hormonal responsibility
  • Bone, brain, and heart health rise to the top of the list
  • You’re more sensitive to stress, blood sugar fluctuations, and inflammation
Now is the moment to build your long-term foundation, not coast.

Four Pillars of Post Menopause Health
  1. Hormonal Support Without Overwhelm
Your ovaries may have stepped back, but your adrenals and fat tissue now take the lead in oestrogen and progesterone production. Support them by:
  • Managing your stress bandwidth (not just stress!)
  • Prioritising restorative sleep
  • Considering adaptogens and lifestyle rhythms that honour your body’s pace. When you find the right adaptogen for your body, it can be a game-changer!
2.  Metabolic & Blood Sugar Balance

Hormonal shifts can affect how your body stores fat, uses energy, and handles the starchy carbs.
Focus on:
  • PFC-balanced meals (Protein–Fat–Carbs)
  • Strength-based movement to maintain muscle and metabolism
  • Supporting insulin sensitivity with tailored nutrition
3. Gut and Detox Health

The gut plays a huge role in how oestrogen is metabolised and cleared. Plus, it affects mood, immune function, and inflammation.
  • Include fibre-rich veg, prebiotics, and targeted probiotics
  • Support liver detox pathways with cruciferous veg, herbs, or supplements
  • Assess for food intolerances or sluggish digestion if symptoms persist (we are back to Kinesiology again!)
4. Nervous System Resilience

Think brain, mood, and energy. You need a flexible nervous system—not a burnt-out one.
  • Breathwork, walks in nature, journaling: simple nervous system resets
  • Vagal nerve support to enhance rest–digest mode
  • Time for joy, connection, and quiet—not just productivity

Testing Is Your Friend
Annual blood work is a start, but it rarely shows the full picture. Consider:
  • Adrenal testing
  • Thyroid panel (including T3, not just TSH)
  • Oestrogen metabolism markers
  • Micronutrient and gut testing to support full-body health
Testing gives you numbers. Kinesiology helps you connect the dots—showing how those patterns are playing out in your body, emotions, and energy.

The Key Takeaway
Thriving after menopause isn’t a mystery—it’s a strategy. By tending to your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and emotional bandwidth, you create a foundation that supports not just health, but joy, clarity, and confidence in your body.
This is about growing into the woman you’re becoming, not returning to the woman you were.

Meet Jo

For over 40 years, I’ve been helping people like you take charge of their health with a calm, caring, and supportive approach. Clients (and friends) often say I’m a great listener and highly knowledgeable — qualities I bring to every session to ensure you feel understood, empowered, and on the right path to feeling better.

My passion for wellness started young. When I was 9, my mum was diagnosed with bladder cancer, which shaped my understanding of how deeply health challenges affect not just the individual but their entire family. Watching her recover through a long journey — navigating major surgery, menopause, and a stoma — taught me how important it is to support the whole person: body, mind, and emotions.

This experience has fuelled my lifelong mission to uncover what keeps us feeling our best. 

Working with me means learning how to:
  • Balance your blood sugars with nourishing foods tailored to your needs.
  • Reduce stressors — from food intolerances to emotional triggers.
  • Support your hormones, including those that regulate energy, mood, and digestion.
  • Improve gut health and build a thriving microbiome.
  • Strengthen your immune system for resilience.
  • Prioritize rest and relaxation for better energy and well-being.
Why Work with Me?
I understand how overwhelming health struggles can feel. Whether you’re navigating hormonal changes, dealing with persistent pain, or feeling like nothing is working, I’ll provide natural, practical solutions tailored to you. My approach isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about finding lasting answers and helping you build them into daily life.

My process also complements medical treatments, giving you tools and strategies to feel empowered while supporting your body’s natural healing ability.

What you need to know
I’m not just a therapist, I’m a listener, a teacher, and someone who’s walked alongside many clients on their health journeys. I believe in combining the best of science and holistic practices to help you feel your best.

On a personal note, I’m a wife, a mother to 2 beautiful girls, and a proud pet parent to Kiko the cat and Maisie the dog. Just like you, I know how busy life can get, which is why I’m here to make taking care of your health feel achievable and rewarding.
