Ange is an Advanced Sports Dietitian with over 15 years of experience working extensively with elite female fitness and figure athletes as well as fitness centres and celebrities for transformation campaigns. She helps active women over 35 understand their physiology, use it to their advantage and uncomplicate nutrition for sustainable results to nourish a high performing lifestyle.

She runs her own bespoke N=1:1 Nutrition to Soar consulting business from Brisbane, Australia, and has recently launched a successful active women (35-65 years only) online group course, educating women on the foundations of female nutrition and how to understand and work with their unique physiology for maximal results as they age.

In this episode, we discuss:

- How Ange's Franco heritage and coming from a family of elite athletes had Ange grow up in an atmosphere where food is simply fuel and a delicious vehicle for connection and celebration

- the deep discomfort of being forced to subscribe the "common weight loss advice" to eat far less whilst working as a new graduate in the weight loss industry, and how this ultimately served as the driver behind Ange's decision to do nutrition "her way" and breaking all the rules

- so mush status-quo challenging gold that has her defy all the 1200 calories, starve yourself to stay as lean as you possibly can be diet culture BS out there, and the true cost of this deprivation has on our bodies as they age and transition through the perimenopause years and beyond

- the key "health ingredients" - think of it like a health cake - a batter of nutrition foundations, the icing of consciously fuelling your exercise and the final sprinkles of specific supplementation where nutrition alone is not enough - NEWSFLASH starting with the sprinkles without the two steps before is NOT going to help you lose weight or be healthier, because there's so much more to the puzzle.

- why an essential thread of what she teaches is how women can harness their menstrual cycle for the spectacular superpower that it is, how most nutrition and even exercise advice is based on studies of men, and how the fact that we are not just little men and are very different physiologically means we need F E M A L E specific support.

- the damage we can even unwittingly create when congratulating people on weights loss, and how we have to stop this obsession with the [weight or appearance = worth] equation, starting with how we speak to our daughters and grand-daughters about how they "look pretty"

and finally Ange and my common bond of the magic which comes from combining evidence-based science with side salad of "woo-woo" to help women create real, long-lasting, feel-freaking-good changes in their life!

We could have spoken for hours!
