Menopause, Hormones, Sleep & Sustainable Fat Loss - Without Extreme Diets

Hi, I’m Izzy. I’m 59 (60 this year… eeeek).

Here you’ll learn how to:

• Lose weight after 40 naturally

Menopause Weight Gain, Insomnia & Hormone Chaos - Explained Simply

Midlife changes everything - your metabolism, your sleep, your stress response, your hormones.

If you’re dealing with:

• Weight gain after 40
• Belly fat that won’t budge
• 3 a.m. wake-ups
• Night sweats
• Brain fog
• Cortisol spikes
• Burnout

You’re not broken. Your hormones have shifted.

This space is dedicated to helping women over 40 navigate perimenopause and menopause using natural strategies that actually work - without crash dieting, extreme restriction, or side-effect chaos.

We focus on:

• Hormone balance (progesterone, estrogen, cortisol)
• Nervous system regulation
• Sustainable fat loss
• Histamine and inflammation support
• Deep, restorative sleep

Because midlife isn’t decline.
It’s a metabolic reset.

In my wellness JOURNAL I share weekly notes on the supplements, routines, and gadgets I’m testing. It’s real, it’s personal, and sometimes a little messy.

 

“I spent years taking “calming” supplements at night - and they were quietly sabotaging my sleep. Midlife, hormones, and hidden histamine sensitivity changed how my nervous system responded!

What I thought was menopause related sleep issues was in fact rebound nervous system response. My “calming” supplements were having the opposite effect !!!!
