Tamsinn’s Talking Solutions
This podcast will be describing why, what and how things happen when you head through peri-menopause and menopause and how you can support yourself. Touching on behaviours and mind states that become clouded by your circumstances, limiting you in forward action.
I’m offering framework to attach yourself to like a port through a storm.

‘I feel fat’ what does that actually mean.

Get the big rocks in first.

Perfect calorie targets are a fiction.
There will always be human error in counting so allowing 50/100 calories to throw you off your pursuit of perfection is likely. Work within a range , that way there is no ‘perfect number on a pedestal’ 🙂
Fitness is as worthy as thinness 🤓
Missing the wood for the trees happens to us all, though hindsight is a wonderful thing. When you become committed to the cause and you dig right in, you see strength, ability and composition changes and you realise it’s not all about ‘just bei...

My first guest Andrea, talking about positive life changes .
Andrea has made some huge efforts over these last few months to put exercise high up the list of priorities, it’s truly started to pay her back in many ways. Keep going ❤️
Why women shy away from strength training .
Do not let time be your barrier , work with the time you have and progress regardless of your spare 10/20 or 40 mins.
Why should I invest in health coaching ?
Prioritise order of importance and how that can serve you now and always. Financial investment in knowledge is the most worthy money you can spend .
Healthful foods don’t automate to lighter bodies.
Healthful foods assist the ease of creating a calorie deficit , they don’t guarantee it. It’s still necessary to create an energy deficit even if the only foods you consume and chicken, rice and broccoli.

Food neutrality part 2
Look outside of food for fulfilment , satisfaction and gratification and recognise how the reliance on food for happiness diminishes .
Food Neutrality has the answers.
It may seem some way off right now but increasing your behavioural skills is built the same way as muscle in the gym. Ongoing and consistent. 👌
Starvation mode fallacies.
If starvation mode was a thing ozmepoc would have had the opposite effect. Don’t listen to the horse manure derailing your understanding. There is no ways around energy balance.
Fluctuating scale weight …
Scale weight going up and down is not the same thing as body fat going up and down. If you have embarked on a change in dietary habits and you have put yourself in to a calorie deficit , you will be losing body fat but that doesn’t show immedia...
