You've landed here for a reason
Perimenopause is so much more than hot flushes
Since you hit your 40s and 50s, the things you'd normally do when a few extra kilos crept on just aren't working anymore. Sound familiar? It often looks like this.
Mood swings
Anxiety and low mood
Brain fog
Weight gain (especially belly fat)
Fatigue
Insomnia
Irregular periods
Heavy periods
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The story behind it
I'm here to help, and I know exactly what to do
A number of years ago, I had a busy practice full of women over 40 wanting help to balance their hormones, lose weight, manage stress and lift their energy.
I'd invested in additional training in a European nutrition program, Metabolic Balance®, and added mindset skills, movement and gut health support. My clients were achieving incredible weight loss results, but they were also raving about how well they were sleeping, how their skin was glowing, how their thoughts were clearer, and how their energy was going through the roof.
So I used everything I'd gathered across a 30+ year career in healthcare, added some components in line with the science, and The Glow Protocol® was born.
What if I could tell you the exact foods that are ideal for you to truly thrive, based on your individual body chemistry, so you can say goodbye to overwhelm and feel vibrant and confident again?
The method
The Glow Protocol® is based on 6 pillars
The program is delivered through 1:1 TeleHealth consultations, optional weekly 1:1 coaching calls, blood testing, and video lessons with workbooks and action plans to support you.

“Susie has been my coach as part of The Glow Protocol and I am so happy! I was feeling old, tired and stressed, and no matter what I did I could not lose the weight around my tummy area. I knew I had to make changes but there was so much conflicting advice. The decision to start The Glow Protocol has changed my life: the way I look at food and the way I shop and cook. I can honestly recommend Susie with all my heart.”
I worked with Susie as I was struggling with menopause symptoms. I was overweight, tired and my blood results were in a bad place. I made the commitment to allow Susie to guide me to good health. After 3 months of guidance I am 15kg down, the inflammation in my body is gone, my bloods are improved and my energy levels are outstanding. Susie is a gentle, kind and very knowledgeable guide. I would happily recommend her to anyone ready to make a change.
I worked with Susie through the Metabolic Balance program and, with her guidance and knowledge, I lost 10kg. Susie was clear, practical and supportive, which made the program manageable and easy to follow. Understanding that my body really had changed, but that I did not have to give in to menopause, was enlightening. Now I have a new set of habits and I am back in control. What Susie did was take the weight off of worrying about the weight. It is absolute freedom. Thanks Susie for being in my corner.
The transformation is unreal. It was not just physical, but mental and hormonal too. The personalised program plus Susie's support, the evidence based approach and the variety of the program is what kept me going. I went with Susie as she is the most knowledgeable and has so much to give you back. It fixed so much in my body. I had irregular periods, and within the first weeks that changed. I have been regular every cycle since!
Susie was incredibly kind and professional. She has a genuine interest in seeing your health improve and offers hope and suggestions whenever you face obstacles on your health journey. Having tried every diet possible with very little success, the Metabolic Balance plan works, and there is no crazy amount of exercise. I am doing less than ever and have still achieved my goal of losing weight and improving my health. Thank you.
Susie Garden is a caring, intuitive and enthusiastic coach. I enjoyed discussing my journey with her and learning from her expertise, tips and wisdom. I highly recommend her as a cheerleader, mentor and very relatable woman.
I worked with Susie through a Metabolic Balance program with the goal of reducing weight and easing liver pain. Susie was a wonderful guide and encouraging coach. I now feel far more confident about my body's nutritional needs and I am finding it easy to keep my body in a healthy weight range.
Results vary from person to person.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Yes. I've designed 3 package options so you receive the ideal amount of support for your goals. If you have a chronic condition that has led to significant weight gain, you may prefer a higher level of support and coaching to reach your goal in a reasonable timeframe. I'm all about sustainability, not quick fixes. We discuss the right option for you in your Peri Weight Loss Assessment.
Not at all. Weight gain is a common concern when women hit their 40s, and while I often tailor The Glow Protocol® for weight loss, it can assist with so much more. This is a truly individualised program. If your main concern is gut health, skin, hormones, PCOS, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia or energy, I can tailor it for that. Weight loss is often a welcome bonus.
I hear you. To make life easier, I recommend setting aside a little time each week for food prep. The feedback I get is that it's far easier than clients expect, and they feel so much more energetic that the prep time is well worth it.
Absolutely. I have women of all ages doing their own unique Glow Protocol®, and the earlier you start improving your health, the better the outcome. Who doesn't want more energy, better stress resilience and skin that glows?
Absolutely not. Calorie counting is soooo last century. Your Metabolic Balance® nutrition plan has your ideal portions already worked out for you, so there's no calorie counting.
The Glow Protocol® is a highly customised program generated specifically for each client. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, so I need to chat with you to make sure it's the right fit. There's no enrolment on the call, and I only send the enrolment link afterwards if you're a suitable candidate.
