🎧 Hormones, Foggy Brains & the Lure of the Biscuit Tin

What’s Really Going On in Midlife

Have you hit menopause and find yourself constantly craving sugar even though you’re full? Do you lose your train of thought mid-sentence? Are you feeling like your motivation packed up and left with your last period? You’re not broken — you’re in the middle of a major hormonal and neurological reboot - about which nobody told you and which you are required to navigate without a map.

In this refreshingly honest audio, we unpack what’s really happening in your midlife brain (spoiler: it’s not just you), why cravings crank up like they did in puberty, and how to gently support yourself through the fog, frustration, and fridge raids.

Key takeaways:

  • Why oestrogen and dopamine are a double act worth knowing about

  • The link between hormone shifts, brain fog, and the return of sugar cravings

  • How to stabilise blood sugar, calm cravings, and get your brain back online — without shame or restriction

A science-backed pep talk with a small aside of humour, clarity, and deep relief. Press play and start to feel human once again!
