Explore every episode of the podcast Perimenopause Weight Loss and Wellness

Today I’m joined by my client, Fiona Bowler.

Fiona is a mum of two, an animal lover with far too many pets, and the co-owner of Kāpiti Coast Towing alongside her husband.

After turning 40, Fiona began gaining weight and struggling with irregular periods, hot flushes and poor sleep. She didn’t feel like herself, and the usual advice wasn’t helping.

Today, we’re talking about her perimenopause experience, what changed when she got the right support, and how she’s feeling now.

Today I’m joined by Lucy Edwards, a nutritionist, natural health practitioner and founder of Lucy Nutrition on the Kāpiti Coast.

Lucy has more than 20 years of experience supporting people with gut health, weight management, energy, hormones and overall wellbeing. She’s also a mum of two, the author of the children’s book The Grumbles, and recently earned her black belt in Taekwondo.

Today we’re talking about practical nutrition for the whole family, healthy lunches, fussy eating and that sentence so many parents use: “My kids won’t eat that.”

Today I’m joined by Louise Kerwin, a Naturopath, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Alignment Coach from Australia who works with high-achieving women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Louise believes menopause is about far more than hormones. Her work explores the connection between the nervous system, stress, nutrition, identity and the beliefs we’ve carried for decades. She helps women understand why they no longer feel like themselves and guides them towards feeling strong, confident and connected to the woman they’re becoming. Today we’re diving into the emotional, physical and mental side of perimenopause that often gets overlooked.

Today I’m joined by Yin, a product development technologist with more than 20 years of experience in food, nutrition, and dietary supplements. Originally from China, Yin moved to New Zealand at 19 and has spent her career developing consumer health products backed by science. Like many women, her interest in menopause became personal when she entered perimenopause herself. That experience inspired her to create MenoMora, a brand focused on supporting women through every stage of menopause using evidence-informed nutrition and a holistic approach. Today we’re diving into what the science says, where supplements fit in, and how women can make informed choices without getting lost in all the marketing.

Today’s episode is one every woman over 35 needs to hear.We spend so much time talking about calories, protein and supplements, but how often do we stop and look at what’s actually in the food we’re buying? Food labels can be incredibly confusing. From “natural” and “low fat” to “high protein” and “no added sugar”, there are so many marketing claims that it’s hard to know what’s genuinely healthy, especially during perimenopause and menopause.Today’s guest is Minal Patel, a qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Food Scientist. Before helping women rebalance their hormones naturally, Minal spent years working in the food industry, giving her a unique understanding of food labels, ingredients, allergens and what really goes into many of the products on our supermarket shelves.Today we’re cutting through the marketing, learning how to read food labels with confidence, understanding which ingredients matter most during perimenopause and menopause, and sharing simple shopping tips that can support your hormones, energy, gut health and weight loss. If you’ve ever stood in the supermarket wondering what to buy, this episode is for you.

Today we’re talking about something that almost every woman notices during perimenopause and menopause, but very few people prepare us for how dramatically our skin can change.

Many women suddenly notice dry skin, increased wrinkles, sensitivity, redness, itching, flushing, loss of elasticity, or products they’ve used for years no longer working.

Today’s guest is Françoise Krings-Servais, co-owner of Vivéa Skincare, a New Zealand skincare brand created specifically for women in perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

What I love about Vivéa is that it was created by women who went through this stage themselves and realised there was a huge gap in the market. The range has already won two Gold Awards from the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Chemists for innovation, and today we’re going to talk about what really happens to our skin during hormonal change and what women can do to support it.

Today’s guest is Heidi Richardson from Bone & Body Blueprint. Heidi specialises in DEXA bone density and body composition scanning, helping people understand what’s happening inside their bodies long before problems show up. Weight loss medications like Wegovy are changing lives, but there’s an important conversation that isn’t happening enough. Yes, the scales go down but what else are we losing? Today Heidi joins me to talk about muscle loss, body composition and how to lose weight without damaging your long-term health.

One of the biggest mistakes women make during perimenopause is focusing only on losing weight.The scales might go down, but if you’re losing muscle instead of fat, your metabolism slows, you’re more likely to regain the weight, your bones become weaker, your balance declines, and everyday tasks become harder as you age.Today’s guest is Eske Dost from Inspire Change NZ. Eske is a wellbeing professional with expertise in strength and conditioning, nutrition and weightlifting, helping people build stronger, healthier bodies.Today we’re going to unpack why muscle becomes so important after 35, what actually happens during perimenopause, and how building muscle can completely change not only your body composition, but your health, confidence and quality of life for decades to come.

Today’s guest is Heidi Richardson from Bone & Body Blueprint. Heidi specialises in DEXA bone density and body composition scanning, helping people understand what’s happening inside their bodies long before problems show up. If you’ve been chasing a number on the scales and wondering why you still don’t feel healthier, this episode is for you. Today Heidi is explaining why body composition tells us far more than body weight ever can.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "What’s happening to my body?"

A few years back, I was in your shoes. I was a fitness coach, guiding others on weight loss, eating right, and exercising. I thought I had it all figured out. But suddenly, my own body started to change. Weight crept on, no matter how hard I tried. I was eating healthy, working out, and yet, nothing worked.

Sound familiar? Many women find themselves in this same frustrating situation.

If you’re in your late 30s, 40s, or even early 50s, those changes might be due to perimenopause. It's a transition often overlooked. We learn about puberty and pregnancy but not about this crucial phase that can last for years.

Your hormones are fluctuating, causing your body to respond differently. Instead of blaming yourself, it’s time to understand what’s happening. Many women think they’ve failed because they’re not losing weight as before, but the reality is, their bodies have changed.

Join me as we explore the hormonal shifts during perimenopause and how they affect everything from weight to mood. You don’t need another crash diet or to punish yourself at the gym. You need a strategy that fits where you are in life right now.

Welcome back to the Perimenopause Weight Loss & Wellness Podcast.

Today is a special episode because we’re celebrating one of my incredible clients, Sally.

Over the past 12 months, Sally has completely changed her relationship with food, her body, and her health. Yes, she lost weight, although what I’m most proud of is everything she gained along the way.

She learned how her body responds to different foods, what helps her feel energised, and what doesn’t work for her anymore. Rather than following another restrictive diet, she built habits that fit her real life.

Sally didn’t give up dinners out, celebrations, or time with friends. She made small, sustainable changes that added up over time because having a social life and enjoying life mattered to her. That’s exactly what long-term success looks like.

Today’s conversation is about celebrating progress, consistency, and discovering that you don’t need to live on chicken and broccoli or hide away from social events to improve your health.

I can’t wait for you to hear Sally’s story because I know so many women will see themselves in it.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today we’re talking about something a little different, but I know it’s a conversation so many women need to hear.When we think about health, we often focus on food, exercise and hormones. They’re all important, but confidence goes much deeper than that. It’s also about how you feel when you walk into a room, how you present yourself, and whether your home and your style reflect the woman you’ve become.Joining me today is Sam McArthur, founder and lead interior designer at Wild Bird Interior Design. Sam specialises in creating beautiful, functional homes across the Wellington region, helping families navigate renovations with confidence and clarity.Before launching her business, Sam spent a decade in advertising and marketing, was a dance teacher, and even choreographed a group that performed at Disneyland. Today she’s also passionate about helping women over 40 build confidence through personal style, colour and showing up authentically in life and business.This conversation isn’t about chasing trends or spending a fortune on your wardrobe. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin, dressing for the body you have today, and understanding how confidence can influence every area of your life.

Today we’re talking about something that many women have never even heard of, yet it could make a real difference to how they feel during perimenopause.

We spend so much time talking about hormones, nutrition, exercise and sleep, but what about pelvic health? What about scar tissue from C-sections or hysterectomies, chronic tension in the abdomen, lymphatic flow, or how stress gets stored in the body?

Joining me today is Pip from Bloom Massage. Pip is a fertility and women’s wellness massage therapist with more than 10 years of clinical experience supporting women through fertility challenges, endometriosis, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause.

After her own experience with stage 4 endometriosis, she became passionate about helping women find practical, holistic ways to reduce pain, improve wellbeing and feel more connected to their bodies.

Today we’re exploring how specialised abdominal and pelvic massage may support women during perimenopause, what the research says, who it’s suitable for, and whether it could be one more piece of the puzzle for women who feel like they’re doing everything right but still don’t feel like themselves.

Today’s guest is Heidi Richardson from Bone & Body Blueprint. Heidi specialises in DEXA bone density and body composition scanning, helping people understand what’s happening inside their bodies long before problems show up. Today we’re talking about something most women never think about until it’s too late, bone health.

Today I'm joined by Kate Twigg, co-owner of O-Studio Wellington.

Kate's journey is one of resilience. After facing two cancer diagnoses and undergoing a stem cell transplant, her perspective on health changed completely. That experience inspired her and her husband Sam to create O-Studio Wellington—a space focused on recovery, movement and helping people feel their best, both physically and mentally.

Today we're talking about how Kate's experience shaped O-Studio, why recovery deserves as much attention as exercise, and the science behind therapies like infrared sauna, cold plunge, float therapy and recovery lounges. We'll also discuss why recovery becomes even more important during perimenopause and menopause, and how women can use these tools to support their health.

Rachel’s journey has been an incredible example of what happens when you stop chasing quick fixes and start working with your body.When we started, Rachel had to make some big changes around her relationship with food. She worked hard on eating enough, increasing her protein intake, improving her nutrition, and creating habits that supported her long-term health.She also added regular movement into her lifestyle, including reformer Pilates and walking her dog more consistently.Like many women, the weight loss didn’t happen immediately. There were moments where progress felt slow and frustrating, despite doing all the right things. That led Rachel to investigate further with private testing, where we identified that her reverse T3 was not functioning optimally. It reinforced how important it was for her body to have enough energy, enough protein, and the right support rather than continuing to restrict.Rachel stayed consistent, trusted the process, and made huge progress.

Ever felt like your body is changing and you don't know why? You're not alone. Today, Kasey shares her journey through unexpected health challenges, including anxiety and high blood pressure, while navigating the complexities of perimenopause. We discuss how lifestyle changes, nutrition, and support can transform your experience. Remember, it’s okay to reach out for help and explore holistic solutions before jumping to medication. Your health journey is unique, and understanding it is empowering.

Today I’ve got Brigitte with me. Brigitte has just finished 16 weeks of coaching. And what I love about her journey is that it wasn’t about chasing quick results. It was about actually understanding her body, building habits that stick, and getting out of that constant cycle of “start again Monday.”She showed up, stayed consistent, asked the right questions, and did the work even when life got busy. And now she’s in a completely different place not only physically, but mentally around food, routines, and how she takes care of herself.

Today I’ve got Karen with me, and I’m really excited about this conversation.What makes Karen’s story powerful is that this didn’t come from some crazy diet or doing something extreme. Karen had struggled with her weight for a long time. Like many women, she tried different approaches, got frustrated, and felt stuck in her body.Over the last few months we focused on the foundations — nutrition, habits, consistency, and understanding what her body actually needed.

Today I’ve got Leah with me. She’s lost 13kg so far and we’re not even done. Before this, she was stuck. Doing all the things, getting nowhere. Weight wouldn’t move, energy was low, hormones all over the place. So we stripped it back. Focused on food, habits, consistency, and actually understanding what her body needed instead of guessing. That’s where things changed.

In this episode, she shares what finally clicked, what she found hard, and the few things that made the biggest difference. If you feel like nothing is working anymore, listen to this.

Melissa walked into my world a year ago exhausted, carrying more than 30 kilos on her body and a whole lot more on her shoulders. She was done with the quick fixes, done with feeling stuck, and ready for something real.

Fast forward twelve months… she’s over 30kg down, stronger, calmer, clearer, and finally living in a body that actually supports her life instead of fighting against it. She did the work. She showed up. And she kept showing up even on the days where motivation was nowhere to be found.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the real journey : the wins, the low points, the identity shifts, the messy middle, and the moment it all clicked. If you’re listening to this and thinking “Why can’t I do that?”  … well … you can. Melissa is proof that change at 35, 45, 55… whatever age you are… is absolutely possible when you commit and get the right support.

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia, a client whose story will hit home for so many women. When we first started, she was dealing with weight gain, constant joint pain, low energy, and frustration from feeling stuck. Over the past few months, Alicia has completely turned things around. By understanding how food choices, especially gluten and processed foods, were affecting her body, she reduced her pain, started losing weight, and unlocked a new level of energy and confidence. This conversation is raw, relatable, and full of takeaways for any woman navigating similar struggles.

Today I’ve got Katie with me. She’s put in the work and the results speak for themselves, 10kg down in just 16 weeks! But the number on the scale is only part of it. Katie’s also gained confidence learned what actually works for her body and built habits that are here to stay. I’m excited for you to hear her story.

In this episode, I sit down with Margot, one of my 1-year coaching clients who’s achieved incredible results. Margot has lost nearly 20kg and, more importantly, built habits that will last her a lifetime. We talk about what made her finally choose coaching, the lessons she’s learned along the way, including why eating more was a huge shift and how consistency has been the key to her success.

In this episode, I chat with Julia, one of my long-term clients, who has achieved amazing weight loss and lifestyle results while navigating the ups and downs of real life.

Julia shares what life was like before she started coaching, what pushed her to reach out for help, and how she kept coming back over the years when she needed structure and accountability.

We dive into the biggest challenges she faced, the “aha” moments that changed everything, and the results she’s most proud of — both on and off the scale.

If you’ve ever struggled with setbacks, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in the cycle of starting over, Julia’s story will give you the encouragement and proof that lasting change is possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Leonie, a women’s strength and movement coach In Wellington, NZ, who helps women in their 40s rebuild trust in their bodies when perimenopause, kids, work, and life make everything feel like it’s falling apart.Leonie isn’t about six-packs or punishing workouts. She’s about showing women how to feel strong, confident, and in control , teaching them to listen to their bodies, train smarter, and support their hormones, energy, and everyday life.If you’ve ever felt like your body is a stranger, this convo will help you see that you’re not broken , you just need the right tools to feel powerful again.

This one’s powerful. Today I’m joined by Karin Horen — breast cancer survivor (twice), solo mum of 3, mindset and growth coach, speaker, author, and founder of Paddle for Hope and One Of Us (a mastectomy-friendly swimwear brand). Her mantra? “She believed she could, so she did.”
And trust me, once you hear her story, you’ll know exactly why. We talk:

• How to lead yourself through chaos

• Mindset tools that actually help in perimenopause

• Getting unstuck when life’s a mess

• And why self-leadership matters now more than ever

This episode is for every woman who’s ready to step up, lead herself, and stop waiting for permission.

Today I’m chatting with Karin , Managing Director at Revl, mum of three, ex-ski instructor, and BodyPump coach who leads from the front. She’s smart, strong, and straight-up , someone who doesn’t just talk about showing up, but actually does it.

From graduating law school with distinction to running a gym and raising a family, Karin brings real-life experience to the table. We’re talking about what it takes to keep moving when life is full, how to lead without burning out, and why strength training matters especially for women juggling kids, careers, and hormones.

Today’s guest is one of my absolute rockstars , Kate. She came into coaching feeling stuck, frustrated, and honestly just tired of doing “all the right things” and still not seeing results.

But fast forward 16 weeks and she’s down over 10kg. And no, she didn’t starve herself. She didn’t train like a lunatic. She ate more, moved smarter, and finally understood what her body actually needed.

This is one of those stories that reminds you why real change doesn’t come from cutting carbs or smashing HIIT seven days a week. It comes from learning, unlearning, and backing yourself. And Kate did exactly that.

Let’s unpack how she did it, what changed, and what life feels like now on the other side.

In this episode, I chat with Jennifer Broxterman, Registered Dietitian, founder of PROSPER Nutrition Coaching, and a stage 3 ovarian cancer survivor who healed without chemo or radiation.

We dive into how nutrition can support women in perimenopause, boost energy, and improve hormone balance without restriction or fad diets. Jen shares lessons from working with elite athletes, the biggest food myths women still believe, and how to cut through the confusion and take control of your health.

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, and unsure where to start, this is the episode you need.

In this episode, Tammy shares what happened when perimenopause hit hard, unpredictable cycles, exhaustion, hair loss, joint pain—and no real help from doctors.

After years of frustration, she finally found a menopause specialist who changed everything. We talk about diet changes, cutting out gluten and dairy, competing in figure comps, and how extreme training wrecked her metabolism.

If you’ve been dismissed or told “it’s just stress,” this one’s for you. Tammy’s story is a powerful reminder: you’re not alone, and there are answers.

Plus, she’s launching her own podcast to help more women.

In this episode, Laurie Drummond, founder of the Sisterhood Collective, business mentor, and podcast host, joins us to talk about navigating life’s transitions with boldness and purpose. From running multiple businesses to embracing the subtle shifts of perimenopause, Laurie shares how her approach to life and work has evolved. We dive into how she stays connected to her body, her purpose, and her values, even when everything feels different than it did in her 30s. Laurie offers powerful advice for women feeling stuck, especially those facing hormonal changes, and shares how to take bold action during perimenopause and beyond.

Tune in for a dose of inspiration on staying present, embracing change, and creating a life you truly love.

In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Nurse and skin expert Smitee to talk all about how perimenopause affects our skin — and what we can actually do about it. We cover why your skin gets drier, more sensitive, or dull during this phase, what ingredients and treatments can help, and how to keep results natural if you're curious about injectables. Smitee also shares top tips for sun protection (especially important in NZ) and simple lifestyle shifts to support glowing skin. A must-listen for any woman navigating perimenopause and wanting to feel confident in her skin again.

In this episode, I sit down with Jacqui, a brave, no-BS woman deep in the trenches of perimenopause with a toddler on her hip and a whole lot of frustration around weight loss. Jacqui opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of gaining weight despite doing everything “right,” the shock of perimenopause symptoms hitting earlier than expected, and the mental load of juggling motherhood while feeling completely disconnected from her body. She shares the real turning points in her journey , the small, powerful shifts that finally moved the needle and helped her feel like herself again. This chat isn’t about quick fixes or magic pills. It’s about raw honesty, resilience, and reclaiming your health when your hormones are all over the place and life feels like chaos. If you’re a woman in your late 30s or 40s trying to figure out why nothing is working anymore, this episode will hit home. Tune in and hear Jacqui’s story. You’ll feel seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m talking to Eden Watson, Client Success Manager at Two-Brain Business. I’ve known Eden for 8 years, and last year her life changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We’re discussing the impact of cancer, perimenopause, and the chaos that comes with both.

Eden’s also a published author. Her book Nice to Meet You, Dad reflects her life as a mum, wife, and nature lover. She lives in Northern Ontario with her husband, son, and a couple of cats. You can check her book out here: https://edenwatson.com/

We’re getting into the real stuff… cancer, perimenopause, parenting, and how to manage it all when life hits hard. Tune in for an honest conversation about the challenges no one talks about.

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Allanah Casey, a clinical psychologist based in Tauranga, to dive deep into the challenges women face during perimenopause and the impact on mental health. Allanah, who specialises in supporting women through various life transitions, shares her insights on how perimenopause affects emotional well-being, from anxiety and low mood to concentration problems and fatigue. We discuss the importance of recognising these mental health struggles as part of the perimenopausal journey and how women can manage them with self-compassion and professional support. Allanah also shares her experience working with clients dealing with perinatal and menopausal mental health challenges, and how crucial it is to seek help during these turbulent times. Tune in for a heart-to-heart conversation on navigating these changes and taking care of your mental health during perimenopause.

In this episode, I sit down with my incredible client Catherine to talk about her real and raw weight loss journey. She originally came to me for a consultation, loved the sound of the program… but thought it was too expensive and couldn’t quite see the value at the time.

So, like many women, she decided to try doing it on her own.
Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.

She came back to me, ready to fully commit and the transformation has been amazing. Not just in weight loss, but in how she feels in her body, her confidence, her energy, and finally feeling in control again.

If you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just need to do it” or “I’ll try one more time on my own” you need to hear this one. Catherine’s story is everything.

In this episode, I chat with my amazing client Kath about all the things no one warned us about: perimenopause, weight gain, and how menopause used to be this massive taboo (like seriously, perimenopause didn’t even exist back then… haha!). Kath also shares her honest weight loss journey, what changed when she started working with me, and how having support and a solid plan made all the difference. It’s a real, raw, and empowering convo for any woman feeling a bit lost in the chaos of midlife hormones. You’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken.

In this episode, I sit down with my amazing client, Del, who came to me with a clear goal: to lose 6kg and finally feel like herself again while navigating the rollercoaster of perimenopause symptoms. From mood swings and fatigue to struggling with weight gain, Del felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to start.

What’s unique about Madhura’s approach is how she shifted her mindset and lifestyle—focusing on doing less exercise while actually eating more food. This wasn’t about deprivation or overworking her body; instead, we tailored her plan to align with her health needs, ensuring she supported her energy levels and balanced her hormones.
