Ep #83 - Macros, Mindset, Menopause — Your Midlife Reset (with Amy Oldfield)

If you’re a busy working women in your 40s who’s eating “well”, training hard and still feeling knackered, snappy, or stuck with sleep, energy and weight—this one’s for you. I’m joined by Amy Oldfield, online health & fitness coach and founder of Body Theory by Amy, to unpack the Four M’s that help women feel strong, calm and in control: Macros, Metabolism, Mindset, and Menopause/Menstrual cycles. 

We talk about why cookie-cutter plans don’t work, what “supporting your metabolism” actually means (beyond “fast” or “slow”), how to use strength training and real food (not restriction) to get your body responding again, and how your daily thoughts + your current phase of life influence everything from energy to patience to progress. Expect straight-talk, practical takeaways and zero guilt. 

In this episode:

• The Four M’s framework and how to personalise it
• Why prioritising protein and eating enough matters
• Strength training for women 40+ (and why it’s non-negotiable)
• Mindset shifts that stop the all-or-nothing spiral
• Working with hormones, cycles & perimenopause—not against them 

Guest: Amy Oldfield, Body Theory by Amy – creator of The Female Formula and a coach specialising in helping women 40+ restore metabolic health so life feels easier again.
