Eat to Live, not Live to Eat, and protect your health.
Protect your health. Reclaim your energy. Feel like yourself again.
Food should fuel your life—not run it. Yet for many women over 40, eating has become a daily battle with bloating, stubborn weight, inflammation, hormonal chaos, and that persistent “why am I so tired?” feeling. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
At My Bloated Belly Club, we take a refreshingly sensible approach to health. No extremes. No guilt. No nutritional gymnastics that require a spreadsheet and a prayer. Just evidence-based nutrition, practical lifestyle strategies, and real-world support designed for busy women navigating peri-menopause, menopause, and everything that comes with it.
This is not about eating less.
It’s about eating better, smarter, and with purpose.
When you eat to live, food becomes a powerful tool:
-
To calm inflammation rather than feed it
-
To support hormones instead of fighting them
-
To improve digestion so your gut stops shouting for attention
-
To help your body release weight naturally—without punishment
And yes, you can still enjoy your food. We are pro-pleasure, anti-punishment, and firmly against diets that make you miserable by Tuesday.
What you’ll find here
-
Clear, science-led guidance on gut health, hormones, and inflammation
-
Simple meal plans and recipes that work in real kitchens
-
Practical programmes and challenges that create lasting habits
-
Coaching support that meets you where you are—not where Instagram thinks you should be
A gentle reality check (with love)
You don’t need another diet.
You don’t need more willpower.
And you definitely don’t need to live on lettuce to be healthy.
You need a body that feels supported, nourished, and understood.
If you’re ready to stop living to eat—and start eating to live—you’re exactly where you need to be. Welcome to a calmer gut, clearer head, and a healthier you.
The Anti-Inflammatory Plate: A Longevity Blueprint from the Blue Zones
The anti-inflammatory plate isn’t a trend — it’s how the world’s longest-living populations have eaten for generations. In the Blue Zones (regions with the highest rates of healthy ageing), meals are built around vegetables, plant proteins, healthy fats, and modest portions of animal foods, with very little ultra-processed food.
This simple plate pattern naturally lowers inflammation, stabilises blood sugar, supports gut health, and reduces the risk of lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline. Longevity, it turns out, is a side effect of eating in a way that supports the body — consistently, calmly, and without extremes.
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Sometimes the simplest plate really is the most powerful.
