I think many are experiencing a heatwave at the moment and it’s no different here in Italy! We’re really enjoying our hiking holiday in the dolomites. Here's a few photos so far🙂

UPDATE - if you’d like a spot in my next cohort, please comment ‘waiting list’ and you’ll be the first to know in the next round. First — thank you to everyone who showed up for last week's Core Four Challenge. Life got in the way for some of us (bank holiday + the hottest week of the year anyone?! 🥵) but Day 6 and 7 are ready to view & do!! Now. Today I want to talk about something that's been on my mind all week. I've spent 18 years working one-to-one with women — through my own private nutrition practice, as a Metabolic Balance coach, and through the Lose & Shape Up programme at David Lloyd — where I helped tons of women transform their body composition, their gut health and their relationship with food. Here's what one of them said: Lose and Shape up - "I lost a stone in about 4 weeks and then a further stone in the next 8 weeks. I felt fantastic, more confident, much more energetic and felt in control of food rather than feeling food was controlling me." — Kay H And another: "Despite a considerable shift in rethinking my food intake — I have lost 19lbs in 12 weeks. I have dropped two dress sizes. I am more energised and fitter than I have been for many years." — Victoria C These results weren't magic. They came from understanding exactly what each woman's body needed — and giving her a simple, personalised roadmap to follow. That's exactly what I'm offering 5 women in this community today. For free. 🔍 Introducing: The Holistic Nutrition Audit This isn't a generic meal plan. This isn't a calorie counter. This is a deep, personalised look at what's actually driving your hunger, your cravings, your energy crashes and your stubborn belly fat — specifically through the lens of menopause. Here's how it works: Call 1 — Before the 30-minute discovery conversation, you fill in an intake form. I listen, you talk. We look at where you are right now and what you most want to change. 5-Day Tracking Period — You complete a simple food diary and a hunger, craving and energy tracker. Real life — not perfection.

Your Core Four 7-Day Challenge has officially begun! Head to the classroom now to find: ✅ Your measurement guide + video ✅ Your traffic light Google Sheet tracker ✅ Your Bristol Stool Chart ✅ My 8-min Pilates for Bloating video (also dropping on YouTube tonight!)

Drop a🙋‍♀️emoji below when you've checked in for Day 1 — let's see who's with us! 👇

I've been working behind the scenes on something I'm really proud of — and I can't wait to share it with you. Starting this Monday, I'm launching our very first **Core Four 7-Day Challenge** — and it's going to help you get clear and back on track. 🎉 Over 7 days, we're going to work through the four pillars that I believe are at the heart of everything when it comes to start losing the menopause belly, feeling stronger, leaner and more energised in midlife: 🌿 Gut health 🩸 Blood sugar stability 🧘‍♀️ Stress management 🏃‍♀️ Low-impact movement Each day I'll be posting education, practical tasks and real conversations, plus a I'm giving you a Task Sheet that I've created in Google and when you've completed the main tasks of the day, it changes from a red light to amber, then green (isn't that amazing, right?) — all designed to fit into your actual life, not some perfect version of it. **And there's more…** From next **Tuesday 20th at 5pm**, I'm launching **Thrive Live** — our brand new fortnightly live Q&A where you can bring your questions, your wins, your frustrations, and get real answers from me directly. No scripts, no slides — just honest, expert conversation. ☕ This community exists because you deserve proper support — not just another programme to follow alone. So — are you ready? 👇 Drop a 'YES' in the comments if you're up for the challenge, and a 'LIVE' if you'll be joining us for Thrive Live on Tuesday! Don't worry if you can't make it, you can pop any questions you have in the comments below or message me and I'll answer them in the live. See you Monday. Let's do this. Jackie x

For those of you that remember the 80s music! Last night I saw a band I've been longing to see for years - ABC (Martin Fry). The great thing was I didn't have to go to a 3 day festival to see them, I could just turn up in Cheltenham and go. Really enjoyed it and thankfully they played a good few from the Lexicon of Love! I've still got that album on vinyl.
