Cravings aren’t always about hunger.

Ever opened the chocolate thinking “I’ll just have a couple of squares”… and somehow the whole block disappears?

Often it’s not hunger. It’s habit, stress, boredom, comfort or simply a pattern your brain has learned.

Instead of relying on willpower, interrupt the pattern.

Put the food away. Take out a portion. Sit down and actually taste it. Then wait 10 minutes before deciding whether you genuinely want more.

And most importantly, get curious:

What was I actually looking for when I reached for that food?

You don’t have to ban your favourite foods.
You need to understand the habits that keep pulling you back to them.

That’s the kind of work we do inside my signature program -Thrive Through Menopause-Lose Weight & Live Well, because sustainable weight loss is about more than just knowing what to eat.

Work with your body, not against it.
Break old habits.
Create new behaviours around food.

Teachers… we need to talk about the staff room biscuit tin.

When you’ve been teaching, answering questions, solving problems, managing a classroom and making hundreds of little decisions since 8am, that muffin at morning tea can start looking pretty convincing.

But then comes the 2pm crash.

In keeping with our September Teachers Edition, Megan Farthing from Your Health Your Choice shares some realistic strategies for maintaining energy and concentration throughout a busy school day.

Her suggestions aren’t about being perfect or never touching the cake again. They’re simple things like starting with a protein-rich breakfast, packing a snack before hunger hits, drinking enough water and pausing before automatically reaching for the quickest sugar fix.

Because feeding yourself properly isn't indulgent when your brain is working hard all day.

And yes, Megan says you can still have the cake.

Just perhaps not every day, every bell AND every staff meeting.

You’ve probably tried eating less, cutting things out, being “good” all week and promising yourself you’ll start again Monday.
You don’t need to get better at dieting.
Especially through perimenopause and menopause, when changes in hormones, sleep, stress, muscle mass and metabolism can mean the old “eat less, move more” approach just doesn’t cut it anymore (not that it ever did)

That’s why I do things differently.

For some women, the first step is my 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 a 90-minute appointment where we take a proper look at where you are right now.
We assess your body composition, and talk through what’s been happening with your health, nutrition and lifestyle.
From there, you receive your personalised 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽, identifying your top three priorities, why they matter and where to start.

Think of it as your starting point ,not for another diet, but for making sustainable lifestyle changes that support your health, your body and the way you want to feel long term.
And if you’re ready for more support, my 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 – 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 & 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 program takes that further.
We work on nutrition, movement, habits and mindset, stress and sleep because lasting change is about far more than what you eat.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿.

It’s about understanding your body, working with it, and building something you can actually sustain.
Because this time, you won't be starting another diet!
You will finally get off the dieting merry-go-round for good.

Sometimes progress looks like making time for yourself

One of the things I love most about what I do is watching my clients change in ways that have nothing to do with a number on the scales.

This lovely client completed her 12-week program with some fantastic wins and has now moved into Momentum, where I see her every 4 weeks to keep supporting her progress.

She also decided that self-care needed to become part of the plan.

So when she comes in for her Momentum appointment, she also makes time for herself with a Renewal Ritual Dry Head Spa.

Because health isn’t just food, weight or blood results.

It’s stress. Sleep. Connection.
Looking after yourself and it’s giving yourself permission to stop for an hour and let someone else look after you.

That’s what the whole-person approach at Your Health Your Choice is all about.

My skin rejuvenation journey continues…

The CO₂ treatment was never meant to be the only step.

Now that my skin has healed, the next stage is about supporting that collagen remodelling process and working on firmness, tone and skin quality with RF Collagen Renewal.

Because collagen doesn’t magically clock off once the surface has healed ,it keeps rebuilding and reorganising beneath the skin for months afterwards.

I’m following the recommendations from Loren at The Dermal Clinic, giving my skin the time it needs, and then I’ll be adding my own RF treatments into the mix.

This is exactly why I love skin treatments that work with the body rather than promising an overnight miracle.

I’ll keep sharing the journey.

💛 R U OK?

Sometimes the people who seem to be coping the best are the ones who need someone to ask.

A simple “Are you OK?” can open the door to a conversation someone really needs.

Check in on your friends.
Check in on your family.
Check in on the strong ones too.

And don’t forget to check in with yourself. 💛

You don’t need to have the answers — sometimes you just need to listen.

Ask. Listen. Be there.

𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗠𝗘 𝟲 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡.

This is more than your traditional facial.

𝗥𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹 uses Radio Frequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating your natural collagen and elastin production.

Over a course of treatments, we’re working towards:

💗Firmer, tighter-looking skin
💗 Smoother texture
💗 Softening the appearance of fine lines
💗 Improving crepey or lax skin
💗 Better tone across the face, neck & décolletage

And for women in perimenopause and menopause, this matters.
As oestrogen declines, so does the collagen support that helps keep our skin firm and resilient.

Because apparently hot flushes weren’t enough. 🙄

This isn’t about promising an overnight facelift.

It’s about giving your skin six weeks of consistent collagen stimulation and letting your body do what it does naturally.

Or is it something else?

No judgement — I genuinely want to know.

DAY 7 My Skin Rejuvenation Journey

One week since my fractional CO₂ laser treatment at The Dermal Clinic and we’re definitely getting somewhere!

Most of the rough, dry texture has settled and my skin is feeling much smoother. I’ve still got a little bit of that “grid” pattern visible in areas, particularly around the edges, but that’s all part of the healing process.

And while the surface is looking more normal, the interesting stuff is still happening underneath.

Fractional CO₂ creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a wound-healing response and stimulating new collagen production and remodelling. That process doesn’t finish when the peeling stops ,it continues over the coming weeks and months.

So Day 7 isn’t the result it’s really just the beginning.

Next step in my skin journey will be bringing in my RF Collagen Renewal treatments to support skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

One week down now I’m excited to see what happens next!

DAY 6 -CO₂ LASER HEALING JOURNEY ✨

And the shedding has well and truly begun!

You can see in the video that a lot of that dry, rough outer layer is starting to come away now, revealing the fresher skin underneath.

But the really exciting part is what we can’t see.

The fractional CO₂ laser created controlled micro-injuries in my skin, triggering its natural repair response. While the surface is healing and shedding, deeper down the process of collagen remodelling and new collagen production is underway and that will continue for weeks and even months.

My skin still has a way to go, but Day 6 is definitely starting to feel like we’re coming out the other side.

And yes resisting the urge to help the flaky bits along deserves some sort of medal.

Day 6 done. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
