This recipe may seem quirky, but its quick to put together and adaptable.
The star ingredient here is the pomegranate seeds. Visually, I think they take any dish up a level. Taste-wise, they add a nice refreshing touch.
Nutritionally, pomegranates are also a powerful addition. They contain a substance called urolithin A. New research suggests that this boosts the mitochondria - our cells’ ‘energy power stations’.
…More energy, anyone? 💥

From midlife onwards inflammation in the body increases. This is even more apparent in women after the menopause.
This is largely due to the drop in oestrogen and the important role oestrogen plays within the immune system.
There are many factors which can help reduce inflammation in the body – all of which I discuss in my book Food for Menopause.
But the easiest place to start is looking at what foods you can ADD into your diet.
Remember, there is no single anti-inflammatory eating pattern or one single hero food. Generally it is an eating pattern that focuses on whole-foods, lots of vegetables and fruit, and a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat at each meal.
For more on my top antiinflammatory foods and further advice on inflammation in midlife order your copy of Food for Menopause today.

Breakfast is the perfect time to go big on fibre.
Whilst there are no miracle foods or ingredients when it comes to nutrition, a key nutrient that you need to focus on particularly during the menopause transition is fibre.
Fibre is a type of carbohydrate and refers to the parts of plant-based foods (vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes including beans and pulses) that are not broken down or used by the body. Instead, these non-digestible parts make their way through the gut contributing to our health in different ways.
🍏 Fibre nourishes our oestroblome ( the oestrogen metabolising department of your gut microbiome) which means we are in better hormone balance
🥦 It keeps your appetite in check as it keeps you fuller for longer
🫘 It helps regulate your blood sugar control
Make fibre your friend!

Sleep is a biggie – within my clinical practice and for me personally. It is the foundation of wellbeing and especially important to focus on during menopause.
For some, sleeping can be harder during the menopause. But also poor sleep can exacerbate symptoms such as brain fog, lethargy and cravings.

When it comes to hormonal health, it’s all about the small things done consistently. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many movers, shakers, and high performers, and what they all have in common is their commitment to simple daily habits.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all diet or magic solution – it’s about showing up every day for yourself in ways that feel good.
Start by focusing on one habit that resonates with you. Make it easy, fun, and something you can do every day. Once you’ve got it, you’ll be amazed at the power of consistency.
