September is the perfect moment for a reset. After the pace of summer, many of us feel the pull to look after ourselves with more intention – to nourish, restore and re-energise! We asked Charlotte Hunter, leading nutritionist and adviser to best-selling MPower supplement range to devise a plan that will help you re-balance hormones, look and feel great!
Easy ways to reset your midlife hormones
Eat Mediterranean style
Research consistently links the Mediterranean diet to better metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive health in midlife. Centre your meals around colourful vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts, olive oil, lean meat, dairy, and oily fish. This way of eating supports stable blood sugar levels, reduces inflammation, and provides the nutrients your hormones need.
Balance your plate
Focus on protein, fibre, and healthy fats at each meal. This combination slows digestion, steadies blood sugar, and supports satiety, all of which are key to managing midlife weight shifts, mood, and energy. Consider options like salmon with lentils and greens, or Greek yogurt with berries and flaxseeds.
Prioritise hydration
Good nutrition isn’t just about food; hydration is also important to support energy, focus, and healthy hormones. Aim for 6–8 glasses of fluid daily, including water, herbal teas, and sparkling water. Also, incorporate hydrating foods, such as cucumbers, melons, citrus fruits, and leafy greens.
Manage stress
Long-term or unresolved stress and lack of sleep can upset cortisol and other hormones, making hot flushes, cravings, and mood swings harder to manage. Simple routines, such as walking outside, practicing yoga, engaging in breathwork, and maintaining a regular bedtime, can help calm your stress response and support hormone balance.
Make the most of herbs and spices
They do far more than add colour and flavour. Herbs and spices are packed with phytonutrients which are plant compounds that help fight inflammation, support circulation, and protect cells from everyday stress. Think turmeric in soups, cinnamon in porridge, mint with fruit, or fresh parsley scattered over salads.
Build on strong foundations
Incorporate MPowder’s Peri-Boost or Meno-Boost into everyday meals to give your nutrition an extra lift. They mix well into smoothies, chia puddings, or energy balls. These blends aren’t just add-ons; they’re designed to work with real food to help support healthy midlife, hormones and wellbeing.
