Menopause Coach and Certified Nutritionist
You're hitting your protein. You're doing what every podcast, reel, and coach has told you to do. But here's the bit no one really talks about - not all protein is the same.
And as we move through perimenopause and menopause, the type of protein on your plate starts to matter as much as the amount.
Some sources are high in saturated fat. Others bring fibre, which most of us aren't getting enough of in midlife. Both make a real difference to your muscles, heart health, digestion, and how you feel day to day.
This guide lays it all out, side by side. So you can stop second-guessing your meals and start choosing protein that actually works best for your body now.

Why Choose Me as Your Guide?
Hello, I'm Vivienne, and I'm right here with you in the throes of perimenopause.
I am a former specialist public health nurse, now a certified nutritionist & menopause coach, so I've seen this from both sides: the clinical side and my own.
I'm offering this Menopause Clarity Call because...
I'm Living It Too: I don't just sympathise – I truly empathise because I understand firsthand how challenging these experiences can be.
Time to Be Heard: Bring everything that's been on your mind - the things that feel too small to mention and the questions that are keeping you up at night.
Holistic View: We'll look at the big picture – nutrition, sleep, stress, supplements, and movement. Everything's connected, and small changes can make a big difference.
Evidence-Informed Insights: I combine up-to-date research with real-world understanding. I have certifications and ongoing education in this area, but I'm not just working from a book – I'm sharing what actually works in everyday life.
Practical, Micro-Steps: I won't overwhelm you with a complete lifestyle overhaul. I recommend small, manageable changes that can add up to significant improvements.
What Women Are Telling Me
"I'm fed up with hearing that menopause is natural, and there's nothing you can do about the symptoms."
"I feel like my body has betrayed me. I just don't feel like myself anymore."
"Night sweats are disrupting my sleep, mood swings make me not even recognise myself anymore, and the brain fog is awful."
