SimpleBiohacks

No time for a walk after meals? Try this instead. 👇

10 squats while brushing your teeth, between meetings, or waiting for the kettle to boil. Or calf raises at your desk.

When your muscles move, they soak up glucose from your bloodstream, helping to reduce blood sugar spikes after eating. As effective as going for a 30 minute walk.

It’s not about doing more exercise. It’s about sneaking movement into your day.

A tiny busy-girl biohack that makes a big impact. 💪✨

It’s simple. That’s why it works!

Shall we start a 10-squat challenge together? Who’s in? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Anyone else can relate? 🤷🏼‍♀️

My kids think I’m making it up. 😂

I think so many women in perimenopause will hear that and think: “Yep. That’s me.”

First things first: you’re not broken, failing, or turning into a horrible person.

Fluctuating hormones can affect neurotransmitters in the brain, making us feel more irritable, reactive, overwhelmed, and quick to snap. It’s incredibly common.

A few simple hacks that can help:

✨ Pause before reacting. Take 3 slow breaths before responding. It sounds too simple, but it helps calm your nervous system.

✨ Strength train. Rage often feels like trapped energy. Moving your body gives it somewhere to go.

✨ Prioritise protein. Blood sugar crashes can make irritability much worse.

✨ Get outside. A 10-minute walk can do wonders for perspective (and save your family from your mood 😆).

✨ Protect your sleep. Everything feels harder when you’re exhausted.

✨ Give yourself some grace. You’re navigating a huge biological transition while still trying to be a partner, parent, friend, employee, and everything else.

And perhaps most importantly...
Talk about it.

The number of women quietly walking around feeling exactly the same is far higher than you think. So let’s be real with each other and normalise this.

Have you experienced perimenopause rage? 👇

Here’s my morning routine that supports a good night sleep, all day energy, digestion and metabolism.

☀️ Morning light to tell my body it’s daytime (which helps me sleep better at night).

🍋 Hot water with lemon and ginger, sipped on the sofa while cuddling the cat. The lemon and ginger support digestion, the cat boosts serotonin, and the whole ritual reminds my nervous system that we’re safe.

💧 Electrolytes and collagen to rehydrate after sleep.

☕ Coffee with MCT oil and keto powder for sustained energy and a brain that feels switched on.

🦷 And yes... I brush my teeth while squatting. Not because I’m trying to become an Olympic athlete, but because little bits of movement add up.

I’ve learned that feeling good rarely comes from one big thing. It’s usually the result of lots of tiny choices that gently nudge your body in the right direction.

None of these habits are life-changing on their own.
Together, though, they help me feel a little more energised, a little more grounded, and a little more like myself.
And honestly, that’s enough. 💛

What’s one small morning ritual you couldn’t live without?


It’s simple. That’s why it works.

This body has carried me through every version of my life 🤍

Through pregnancies.
Stress.
Hormone changes.
Exhaustion.
Healing.
Growth.
Joy.
Heartbreak.
Starting over.
Keeping going.

I found this video from a few years ago and it made me emotional in the best way.

Not because I looked “better”.
But because I remember how full life felt in that moment.

And life still feels full now. Different seasons, different versions of me… but all equally worthy.

Yes, my body has changed over the years. Softer in places. More wobbly. More human.

But honestly? I quite love that too.

Because it means I’m living.

And I hope when I look back at videos of myself now, I remember the life I was living… not the tiny things I criticised about myself at the time ✨

I caught myself doing it again the other day.

Looking in the mirror and picking myself apart in a way I would NEVER do to another woman.

Too tired.
Too bloated.
Too soft.
Too old.
Not disciplined enough.
Not doing enough.

And I thought… would I ever speak to my daughter, my friend, or another woman like this?

Never!

So why do we do it to ourselves so easily?

Midlife has changed my body. Hormones changed my body. Stress changed my body. Life changes our body.
That doesn’t mean my body is failing.
It means my body is human.

Simple Biohacks was never created to help women become “perfect”.

It was created because I want women to feel GOOD again.

More energy. Better moods. Less overwhelm. More confidence in their own skin.

And honestly?
Sometimes the most powerful biohack is reducing the stress we create with our own thoughts.

Your body hears everything your mind says.

So maybe today:
✨ nourish yourself
✨ move your body
✨ take the walk
✨ eat the protein
✨ support your hormones

…but also speak to yourself with more kindness.
You deserve that too 🤍

It’s simple. That’s why it works.
