how we can help you
Kat is a nutritional therapist and Val is a personal trainer. Together they set up The Health Boost to share their love of healthy food, exercise and their knowledge of our bodies as we go through the menopause. You will find over 250 healthy recipes to support your midlife health.
Kat specialises in female hormone health and weight loss. She helps busy women lose weight, balance their hormones and feel great again through bespoke nutrition programmes. She will coach you to make long lasting changes to your diet and lifestyle to live the happiest, healthiest life you can.
Val is a personal trainer who focuses on a personalised and balanced approach to physical activity with a specific interest in strength training for women. She strongly believes that 40+ women should include weight training in their exercise routine in order to feel stronger, more energised, capable and confident.
We love a soup - but too many of them are low in protein to keep us satisfied. This one is not only full of protein - but also rich in fibre which helps to keep our blood sugars stable. We use the jarred beans from Bold Bean Company which are so good. Sprinkle with as much feta as you need to hit your protein target. If you divide this soup into 3 this will give you around 18g of protein. If you use chicken stock slightly more. Then adding 50g of feta and 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds will increase this to 30g protein.
A warm salad for those colder months made with roasted Brussel sprouts to keep it seasonal. This salad comes in at 50g of protein and 14g of fibre so will leave you full until the next meal and your blood sugars balanced well.
With December's festivities approaching, we're all starting to think about changing things up a bit and bringing the best seasonal ingredients together with warming spices and flavours. As we do truly love our rainbow food, red cabbage and apples are just perfect and will accompany game meat, real butcher's sausages, gammon or a Sunday roast perfectly.
A warming winter bowl perfect for lunch on those days when you just can’t get warm. Full of robust flavour and textures. A high protein and high fibre salad with 50g of protein and a whopping 30g of fibre (your recommended daily amount).
