What Your Body Needs Differently in Perimenopause & Menopause
A practical 90-minute morning with Menopause Nutrition & Strength Coach Samantha Hardingham and Thermomix expert Miranda Quantrill, combining the science of midlife nutrition with simple, delicious food you can actually make at home.
You eat pretty healthily. So why doesn't your body seem to be responding like it used to?
Perhaps your waistline is changing despite doing all the things that have always worked.
Your energy isn't what it was. You're waking in the night. Brain fog has appeared from nowhere. You don't recover from exercise quite as quickly and suddenly there seems to be an awful lot of conflicting advice about what women shouldand shouldn't be eating in menopause.
Nourish & Thrive is about cutting through that noise.
Join Samantha Hardingham, Menopause Nutrition & Strength Coach, and Miranda Quantrill, Thermomix expert, for a relaxed, practical morning exploring what actually changes in a woman's body through perimenopause and menopause and how food, muscle, sleep and lifestyle can make a meaningful difference to how you feel.
And importantly, we'll show you how to put that knowledge into practice without spending your life meal prepping or cooking separate "healthy" meals.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
Why your old healthy habits might not be giving you the same results
Samantha will explain some of the changes that happen through midlife and why nutrition, protein, muscle, recovery and blood-sugar management become increasingly important.
We'll look at practical strategies that can support:
• Energy and afternoon crashes • Sleep and recovery • Brain fog and concentration • Maintaining muscle and strength • Changing body composition and the midlife waistline • Hunger, cravings and appetite • Long-term health beyond menopause
No extreme diets. No calorie-counting obsession. No enormous list of supplements.
Just practical, evidence-informed advice you can actually use.
THEN WE'RE HEADING INTO THE KITCHEN...
Because knowing what to eat is one thing.
Miranda will demonstrate how simple it can be to create delicious, nutrient-dense meals using a Thermomix, with ideas designed to make eating well in midlife easier rather than another job on your to-do list.
You'll see the recipes being made, discover shortcuts you can use at home and, of course, taste the food too.
YOU'LL ALSO TAKE HOME
A digital recipe collection so you can recreate the dishes at home, plus practical nutrition ideas you can start implementing straight away.
We'll finish with an informal live Q&A with Samantha and Miranda, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions about midlife nutrition, lifestyle and making healthier cooking work in real life.
THIS EVENING IS FOR YOU IF...
You're somewhere in your 40s, 50s or beyond and you've caught yourself thinking:
"I'm already eating healthily — what am I supposed to change?"
"Why am I suddenly putting weight around my middle?"
"Why am I so tired when I'm doing all the right things?"
"Do I actually need more protein?"
"What should I be eating now?"
Or perhaps you simply want to understand how to look after your body better for the next 20, 30 and 40 years.
Come and spend 90 minutes with us.
Bring your questions.
Bring your appetite.
And bring a friend — because navigating midlife is considerably better when you've got someone to laugh about it with.
