Nutrition Round-Up
Your February Nutrition New Round Up
Hey {{contact.first_name}},
If your body feels different in midlife it’s not your imagination. Hormonal shifts affect how you store fat, regulate appetite, and use energy. The strategies that worked years ago often stop delivering the same results.
The encouraging news is that new research continues to show how quickly your body can respond to the right nutrition.
Here are three important discoveries from the past few weeks and what they mean for you:
Oats reduced “bad” cholesterol by 10% in just two days
A new clinical trial found that people with metabolic syndrome who followed a short oat-based dietary intervention reduced their LDL cholesterol by around 10% in only two days.
Researchers also saw improvements in blood sugar control, blood pressure, and gut bacteria.
This matters because cholesterol levels often rise in midlife, even without weight gain or diet changes.
Oats contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan, which helps remove cholesterol from the body and supports gut health. This also improves fullness and stabilises energy.
Even something as simple as porridge for breakfast a few times per week can support heart health and appetite regulation.

Blueberries shown to support metabolism, circulation and gut health
A January 2026 scientific review found that blueberries help improve metabolic function, circulation, gut bacteria, and brain health.
These benefits come from natural compounds called polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation and improve how the body processes energy.
Inflammation tends to increase in midlife and is strongly linked with fatigue, weight gain and metabolic slowdown.
Adding foods like blueberries regularly can help support metabolism naturally.
A handful added to yogurt, porridge, or a smoothie is enough to provide benefits.

Your gut health can improve faster than expected
A February 2026 study found that dietary and lifestyle changes rapidly improved gut bacteria and metabolic markers linked to long-term health.
Your gut plays a major role in appetite, fat storage, energy levels, and cravings.
This explains why many women notice improvements in digestion, hunger and energy within weeks of improving their nutrition.
Your body responds quickly when given the right support.

What this means for you?
Midlife weight gain and energy dips are not about willpower.
They’re often the result of your body needing a more strategic nutritional approach.
Small changes, especially increasing fibre and whole foods can have measurable effects on how you feel and function.
