Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. It’s James and Juli once again from Fabulous Beyond 40, and in this episode we’re diving into a surprisingly powerful and transformative topic: hydration.

No, not just “drink more water”—but how hydration actually affects your menopause symptoms, mood, metabolism, and mental clarity… and how a few small tweaks can lead to massive changes.

We know hydration doesn’t sound like the most thrilling topic, but stick with us, because most of what you think you know about water… probably isn’t helping. That fatigue, brain fog, or afternoon headache? Might not be hormones alone.

And if your idea of hydration is a cold glass of wine or a third coffee by 11am, we definitely need to talk.

So let’s bust some myths, break down the science, and give you real-life, doable strategies to feel more energised, focused, and far less cactus-like by 4pm.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. It’s James and Juli once again from Fabulous Beyond 40 and this week’s topic is one that can be challenging for many women because it touches on some of the deeper beliefs and emotions that go along with the ageing process.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered when you disappeared—or felt like you’re constantly fighting a battle your younger self never had to think about—this one’s for you.

In this episode we’re going to talk about how the stories we’ve internalised about aging can hold us back more than physical changes ever will. We’ll also talk about where these stories come from, how to spot them, and how to start rewriting them.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. It’s James and Juli once again from Fabulous Beyond 40—and in this episode we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood health habits out there: rest.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, this episode is for you.
Too many midlife women still believe that “rest” equals laziness, weakness, or falling behind.
But the truth? Rest is a biological necessity, a nervous system reset, and—dare we say—a rebellious act of self-preservation. In this episode, we’ll challenge toxic productivity, explore the science behind rest and recovery, and help you reclaim downtime as a powerful tool for health and growth.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. It’s James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40—and in this episode we’re diving into something that’s rarely talked about, but makes a huge difference in how you feel: meal timing.

This isn’t about food rules or rigid eating schedules—it’s about understanding how your body responds to when you eat, especially during perimenopause and beyond. So, let’s dive straight into it.....

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause—the podcast that helps you take back control of your health, your hormones, and your happiness—one honest conversation at a time. We’re James Ellis and Juli Madacey from Fabulous Beyond 40.

Since it’s Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, we wanted to spotlight a part of mental and emotional wellbeing that often flies under the radar—especially for midlife women– and that is the issue of food guilt.

Now we do want to make it clear that we’re not therapists—but as coaches, we work with women every day who are exhausted from fighting with food, judging themselves constantly, and trying to “be good” around eating.

This episode isn’t intended to be a replacement for professional mental health support, but through our coaching process, we do help women build healthier relationships with food and themselves

So let’s dive into this topic, because it’s such a big one for so many of our clients.

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause — the podcast where we ditch outdated advice and give you real tools to help you thrive in midlife and beyond.

It's coaches James and Juli, and we’re really excited about this episode. If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wondering if sleep is just another thing you’re losing in menopause… this one’s definitely for you.

We know that sleep struggles are one of the biggest complaints women have during perimenopause and beyond. And we also know that most advice out there is either too generic, unrealistic, or flat-out wrong.

So we brought in a heavy-hitter for this episode. Meet Dr. Catherine Darley. Dr. Catherine is the leader in natural sleep medicine. She combines her knowledge of sleep and circadian disorders with her training as a naturopathic physician to bridge these two fields. She has treated patients for over 20 years, along with training healthcare providers in sleep medicine.

So, if you’re tired of being tired... grab a cuppa (maybe make that a decaf), and let’s get into it.

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause—the podcast where we ditch outdated advice and give you real tools to help you thrive in midlife and beyond.

It's coaches James and Juli here and in this episode we’re tackling one of the most confusing (and misunderstood) nutrition topics for women over 40: can you guess what it is yet? It’s carbohydrates.

If you’ve been told to cut carbs to lose weight or feel better in midlife—hold that thought. Because your body deserves more than questionable diet advice and a side of guilt.

We’re going to break down what carbs actually are, which ones help vs. hurt, and why eating the right ones might just change everything—energy, mood, cravings, even sleep.

The good news is that yes, you CAN eat carbs. So let’s talk about how to do that in a way that empowers your menopause—one smart bite at a time.

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause—the podcast where we ditch outdated advice and give you real tools to help you thrive in midlife and beyond.

On this episode, coaches Juli and James are talking about one of the most powerful, misunderstood tools for women in perimenopause and post-menopause: strength.

We’re not just talking about gym selfies or deadlifts. We’re talking about the kind of strength that helps you carry your suitcase, move furniture, pick up your grandkids, or walk into a meeting feeling grounded and confident.

This episode is for you if:

– You’ve never really liked exercise
– You’re worried it’s too late to start
– Or you feel like your body just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to

We’re going to break down what functional fitness really is, how to get started, and why it’s the key to keeping your independence, energy, and mojo for years to come.”
