Beyond The Workout: Fasting for Energy, Weight & Hormones at 40+

If you're 40+ and noticing your energy's not what it was, the weight around your middle won't budge, your head feels foggy more often than not, or you're waking up at 3am for no reason: you're not doing anything wrong. Your hormones have shifted, and nobody handed you the new rulebook.

Wick Nixon, certified Fasting & Lifestyle Coach and founder of Wicked Wellbeing, is bringing her fasting talk to Sweaty Betty for an early morning session built specifically for women in perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

In this session, you'll learn:

• Why blood sugar and insulin resistance are behind most midlife energy, weight and mood symptoms, and what to look out for
• Why the old "eat less, move more" advice stops working the way it used to
• What's actually happening with your hormones at each stage (cycling, perimenopause and post-menopause) and why they each need a different approach
• How fasting works with your body, not against it, to support energy, focus and fat burning, without deprivation or extreme rules
• A simple, realistic place to start, no matter how you're feeling right now

This isn't about pushing harder in the gym or restricting what you're eating. It's about understanding what your body needs, which is exactly why we're doing this one in partnership with Sweaty Betty.
Great kit and a well-fuelled body go hand in hand, and this talk is the part of the equation a lot women often don't learn about.

Come with your questions. Leave with clear, doable next steps.
