If you’re a woman navigating perimenopause or beyond, you’ve likely been told to eat less, try harder, or get back on track — especially as summer approaches.
But what if May wasn’t about restriction or pressure…
What if it was about nourishment, kindness, and choosing what supports you right now?
Here’s what we’re focusing on inside the Thrive Through Menopause Membership this May and you can too.
1. IN: Nourishing Your Brain
When you’re under-fuelled so just not eating enough, your body doesn’t just slow down — your brain does too.
Low energy =
- Brain fog
- Irritability
- Cravings (hello, snack cupboard)
By simply eating enough — especially protein and fibre rich meals — you’ll give your mind the fuel it needs to feel calm, clear, and capable.
Try this:
- Don’t skip breakfast.
- Add protein to every meal (eggs, Greek yogurt, chicken, lentils).
- Keep snacks balanced (think protein + fibre).
2. IN: Kind Self-Talk
Your body hears everything your mind says.
So when that inner voice says:
- “I’ve ruined it again.”
- “I can’t stick to anything.”
- “I should have more willpower.”
This will just make you feel less confident
Let’s change the script:
New thoughts to practise:
- “I paused, now I have reset.”
- “I’m learning what supports me.”
- “Every small step matters.”
Self-kindness isn’t fluffy or selfish— it’s essential.
3. IN: Mindset Moments
Menopause often makes your nervous system more sensitive. You might feel more anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in “all or nothing” thinking.
Taking just 30 seconds to check in with yourself can change the whole course of your day.
Try this:
- Pause and ask, What do I need right now?
- Take 3 deep breaths before reacting.
- Reframe one negative thought per day.
Small mindset shifts build emotional resilience over time.
4. IN: Gentle Consistency
You don’t need to overhaul your life.
You don’t need a perfect Monday or a “clean” start.
You just need to show up, gently and consistently, in ways that feel doable.
Examples of gentle consistency:
- Having a nourishing breakfast 5 days this week
- Walking for 10 minutes, even if that’s all you can manage
- Logging off screens 30 minutes earlier
These are the real habits that work — not extremes.
5. IN: Celebrating Small Wins
If you did something today that supported your energy, mindset, or nourishment — that’s a win.
- Said no when you meant it? Win.
- Made lunch instead of skipping it? Win.
- Let go of guilt after enjoying a treat? Huge win.
You’re doing better than you think. And when you notice those wins, you build confidence — and momentum.
