Seed Cycling & Paleo Chocolate Granola

Uncategorised

3 Aug

I love me some granola but the classic “oaty” kind is a disaster for my digestion (and for most people). And they’re also so full of sugar. I don’t quite get that when breakfast is supposed to be our most important meal, why dowse it with sugar?  But I digress. When it comes to weight loss or maintaining healthy weight,…

The Ultimate Detox Green Juice

Uncategorised

1 Jul

This is the ultimate detox green juice and it only has a few simple ingredients but it is damn tasty! Now, I don’t juice as often as I used to but I still love me some green juice. I really only promote juicing in two ways: First, if you’re struggling over the decision to drink a soda versus something healthier…

One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently? Swa One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently?
Swapping some of my long, steady-state cardio sessions for Norwegian 4x4 intervals.

The workout is simple:
➡️ 4 minutes hard effort
➡️ 3 minutes recovery
➡️ Repeat 4 times

Why I love it:
✔️ Improves VO₂ max (one of the strongest predictors of longevity and cardiovascular health)
✔️ Improves aerobic fitness and endurance
✔️ Time efficient — done in about 40 minutes
✔️ Helps support heart health and healthy aging
✔️ Leaves more time for strength training and recovery

A 2024 study found that the Norwegian 4x4 protocol significantly improved VO₂ max compared to moderate-intensity training.

At 47, I’m less interested in burning calories & more interested in building a stronger body, better fitness & long-term health.

Have you tried Norwegian 4x4s?

This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨ And hone This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨

And honestly? Most of them start with getting enough protein.

One of the biggest game changers for my energy, body composition, cravings, and strength has been prioritizing a solid protein hit first thing in the morning — and making sure my snacks support my goals too.

And the 5th favourite? A good exfoliator 👏

Because glowing skin in midlife is both internal and external.

Protein + skincare + consistency = the real glow-up.

Comment “glow” if you want my fav exfoliators 💛

Fine hair + thinning hair + perimenopause means my Fine hair + thinning hair + perimenopause means my hair routine has had to evolve a bit.

These days my focus is less about styling tricks and more about supporting scalp health and giving my hair the best chance to look full, healthy, and hydrated.

A few things that have made the biggest difference in my routine:

• A cleansing or detox shampoo to remove buildup and reset the scalp. When you have fine hair, even a little buildup can make everything fall flat.

• A hair thickening product to create the illusion of fuller hair and give some lift at the roots.

• A hydrating serum for the ends to keep hair soft and shiny without weighing it down.

• A really good dry shampoo that refreshes hair between washes without leaving that chalky residue or drying everything out.

For fine or thinning hair (especially during perimenopause), I’ve learned that lighter products and a healthy scalp make all the difference.
