The Peppermint Tree
"Midlife Nourish and Detox" a unique program for women in their midlife transition.
This program is crafted specifically for women in their midlife transition phase because, as you may have already noticed, what may have worked in your 20's and 30's definitely doesn't serve you in your 40's or beyond!
​
Why, you ask?
​
Well, by the time we hit our 40's, our gut, liver, and adrenal glands need some serious TLC. They've been keeping up with our crazy busy lives, dealing with all the sneaky toxins in our environment, putting up with the not-so-nourishing meals on the run, suffering through long days and short sleeps and then, to top it all off, the hormonal roller coaster of perimenopause and the hormonal slump of menopause!
Whilst the midlife transition may bring greater wisdom, it also brings with it changes in the way we digest our food, compromised detoxification processes, less sensitivity to insulin and most commonly, estrogen dominance.
​
Midlife Nourish and Detox prioritises three essential pillars for midlife wellness and weight loss: hormone balance, liver health, and gut health.
Week 1: Introduction; Pantry, fridge and shopping lists
Week 2: Fat burning reset
Week 3: Banish the bloat: gut health
Week 4: Love on your liver
Week 5: Hormone harmony
Week 6: Maintenance, how to effortlessly continue from here.
Why is Midlife Nourish and Detox is designed to target belly fat?
After all, are we not all meant to love our bodies as they are?
Yes we are, and there is absolutely no body shaming here.
However belly fat, particularly visceral fat, can be especially dangerous and is often a symptom of estrogem dominance, again something especially dangerous.
​
Let me explain why visceral in our midsection is so dangerous:
Excess belly fat, particularly visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease, for example, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer, including breast cancer.
Visceral fat is metabolically active, it releases harmful substances that lead to conditions including inflammation, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, estrogen dominance, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. It saddens me that women are often at a loss when it comes to understanding why it may have appeared, ​often seemingly out of nowhere and how they can easily release it. I believe that every woman has a right to this understanding and a right to live a vibrant, energetic and long life feeling amazing every single day.
​
So why does this excess padding appear and why is it so hard to shift?​
Hormonal changes, particularly decreases in estrogen, can shift where the body stores fat. Additionally, metabolism tends to slow down with age, while stress levels may rise, promoting fat accumulation, especially around the abdomen. Dietary choices, changes in physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns during menopause can also contribute to this phenomenon.

FAQs
​
Q. Does this program consist of drinking green juices and lemon water all day long?
A.Heck no - I wouldn't make you do anything I wouldn't do! Additionally, in terms of your hormonal health, this is not the best thing to do
​
Q. Will I starve?
A. I sincerely doubt it - like I said above, I wouldn't make you do anything I wouldn't do!
We will be nourishing our body with beautiful fresh veggies, clean protein and even the occasional sweet treat!
​
Q. Is this just a weight loss program?
A. No, definitely not. The focus is gut, liver and hormonal health.
​
Q. Will I lose weight?
A. Most probably - an optimally functioning body leads to you finding your optimal weight
Q. Do I have to give up coffee?
A. It is highly recommended, although not imperative, to forgo caffeine so you can recognise your dependance.
I will guide you through the process of at least reducing, if not eliminating your daily caffeine fix
Not having caffeine will also show you how your body functions under the influence of caffeine. Wouldn’t it be incredible to experience how your body would feel without the influence of an addictive substance? This is your chance to find out. My clients frequently say they thought this would be the hardest part, but it doesn’t end up being as hard as they imagined
​
Q. What if this is not he right time for me?
A. When is the right time?
​
Q. What if I fail?
A. You only fail if you don't start
​
Q. How will the program be delivered?
A. It will be delivered into a private Facebook group (so yes,you will need to be on Facebook!). There will be live sessions to join if you can and recordings if you’re unable to make any of the live sessions. This is also the place where you’ll be able to access additional resources, like handouts to support you every step of the way. This group is also the place to ask questions and seek additional support. Confidentiality is expected of all group members at all times because you feeling safe and respected by others is key.
Q. If I want to chat to you about something personal that I’m not comfortable discussing in the group, can I do that?
A. The primary place for support will always be the Facebook group. If you have something you want to discuss with me and you’re not comfortable sharing that in a group setting then you’ll be able to book a 15 minute chat with me. I’ll share how you can do this and the investment for this 1:1 support. Alternatively, the program is also offered as a private, 1:1 experience so that could be something you can consider instead of joining the group program
Q.What are some signs that I may need to do this program?
A. There are so many possibilities and these are some of the things that are signs pointing you towards knowing and trusting that a program like this is exactly what you need
🌱 elevated levels of fats (triglycerides) and cholesterol (primarily LDL) in the blood
🌱 build-up of fat in organs (e.g.fatty liver)
🌱 lumps of fat under the skin ie cellulite
🌱 unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight

Q. Will this program include juices?
A.Yes, a juicer or a high speed blender will be required.
​
Q. What if I am taking prescription medications?
A. Great question! Please include the details of your medications in the pre-program questionnaire. It should not make too much of a difference but it is good to be aware if you decide to introduce new supplements to support your wellness.
Q. What if I’m too busy?
A. If you don't feel great now and you fail to address your warning signs unfortunately they simmer away until they become something more serious When you honour yourself and recognise that your body is sending you a distress signal you are then doing for yourself what I'm sure you do for all those around you. You are showing love and respect, this time, for yourself.
​
Q. What if I'm away for part of the program?
A. No problem at all, unless you are off the grid you will still be able to access all of the "lives" and current handouts.
