Hi, I'm Debbie
I'm one of the weird ones that didn't mind getting older
And when you know my story you'll understand why.
Most of my immediate family - and brothers-in-law - passed away in their 30's, 40's, and 50's from cancer or heart-related disease.
That kind of loss changes you.
It's what sparked my deep curiosity about health, ageing, and what's actually possible when we pay attention to what our body needs. And personally, to make it past 60! Getting older is a privilege I don't take for granted.
I haven't always done it "well", even though there are things "I know I need to" do
In my 30's and 40's, I thought I was "eating well" - and yet my body was quietly sending me signals I kept dismissing. The reflux, The headaches. The low energy. The weight creeping up. The body-aches. The feeling "puffy". I was just "too busy" to stop and deal with it - putting myself last.
Sound familiar?
In my late 40's, I started making changes - starting with food, and then going deeper. In my 50's, I graduated as a Functional Nutrition Consultant: learning about Vitalism and using a holistic approach to health. Discovering just how interconnected everything is. My mind was blown. No wonder we are overwhelmed and confused when it comes to making health-related changes! But also, how AMAZING is our body?
I'm positive that the changes I made helped:
- to manage my weight & symptoms through perimenopause and beyond
- to feel energised without relying on caffeine and sugar
- to remove those daily body-aches and headaches
- to just feel good about myself
There's:
- No deprivation
- No counting calories
Now I'm in my 60's, #celebrate, I understand more than ever that it's always a good time to start making changes. My bone health suffered from the years I didn't take action - even when I knew what to do. Because information alone doesn't make the dfference.
These foundations I share aren't just what I recommend. They're what I live - most of the time.
My mission? To help women ditch the dieting mindset, tune into what your body is actually asking for, and start feeling energised, lighter and stronger - without the deprivation.
Because symptoms aren't just "normal ageing". They're your body asking for support.
And you deserve to feel more than okay.
If that resonates, I'd love to help you get there. > Subscribe <
Cheers,
Debbie
