Menopause Coaching That Actually Makes Sense of What You’re Experiencing
Feel like your body has changed - but no one has properly explained why?
Most women don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do.
They struggle because there’s a gap between knowing - and being able to apply it consistently.
That’s the Menopause Action Gap™
By the time most women get here, it’s not just one symptom.
It’s:
low or unpredictable energy
a growing sense that what used to work… no longer does
And whilst you may have tried to piece things together - diet, supplements, exercise - it often still feels inconsistent.
This is where coaching closes the Menopause Action Gap™
Not because you need more information.
But because you need:
clarity on what’s actually happening in your body
a way to connect your symptoms
a structured approach that works in your life
Most of the women I work with didn’t need more willpower - they needed a clearer way to understand and respond to what their body was doing.
Coaching built around your body - not generic advice
I’m Phillipa Jacobs-Smith, an evidence-based menopause health coach based in London, supporting women across the UK and worldwide through personalised online coaching.
My programs are designed to help you:
Reduce hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog and anxiety
Protect bone density and maintain muscle strength
Stabilise weight without restrictive dieting
Navigate transitions off GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro with structured support
This is where my work is different.
It’s built around two core ideas:
The Menopause Action Gap™
The gap between knowing what to do - and being able to apply it consistently in real life.
The MHC Method™ (The Menopause Health Coach Method)
A structured, realistic way of closing that gap - without relying on willpower or starting over every week.
The MHC Method™
The MHC Method™ is my structured, five-pillar approach to closing the Menopause Action Gap™ - helping you understand what’s happening and apply what actually works in your real life
1. Nourishing Whole Foods – Supporting blood sugar, energy and muscle through practical nutrition - not restriction..
2. Gut and Hormonal Support – Understanding and addressing the underlying drivers behind symptoms
3. Strength and Resistance Training – Structured movement plans to protect bone density, maintain lean muscle and support metabolic health.
4. Sustainable Habits for Lasting Change – Building routines that fit your life - and actually stick..
5. Stress and Sleep Regulation – Tools to calm the nervous system, improve restorative sleep and reduce cortisol-driven wake-ups.
Each pillar works together - because focusing on one area in isolation is often why things feel inconsistent.
This is menopause support built around your physiology - not generic advice pulled from the internet.

Fuel and Live Well
Fuel and Live Well
Fuel & Live Well is a 12-week coaching program for women navigating perimenopause and menopause who feel like something has shifted - but can’t quite get a handle on it.
You may have already tried to make changes - eating “better”, moving more, trying to stay on top of things. But instead of feeling clearer, it still feels inconsistent.
Your energy dips.
Your sleep is unpredictable.
Your body responds differently to things that used to work.
This is where a more structured approach makes the difference
We apply the MHC Method™ to stabilise your energy, nutrition and overall health.
This isn’t about giving you another plan to follow.
It’s about helping you understand what’s driving your symptoms - and building a way of eating and living that actually supports your body now.
You might recognise yourself here:
Weight changes that don’t make sense – where what used to work no longer has the same effect, despite your efforts.
Low or inconsistent energy – feeling tired, but not always able to rest properly, and struggling with focus or clarity.
A body that feels unpredictable – whether that’s digestion, appetite, or how you respond to food day to day.
Using or coming off GLP-1 Medications (Mounjaro/Ozempic) – and wanting to support your body properly through that transition.
Feeling unsure what to focus on – trying different approaches, but nothing quite sticking or feeling consistent.
This program focuses on stabilising your energy, nutrition and overall health - so your body starts to feel more predictable again.
What changes
You stop trying to fix everything in isolation.
Instead, you understand what your body needs - and how to support it in a way that brings more consistency to your energy, sleep, and overall health.
Over time, things start to feel more predictable.
You’re no longer constantly second-guessing what to eat, how to manage your symptoms, or what to focus on.
You feel more like yourself again.

Fuel + Move Well
Fuel & Move Well is a 12-week coaching programme for women navigating perimenopause and menopause who want to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their body - but aren’t sure how to adapt their training and nutrition to match where they are now.
You may already be active, or trying to be. But something isn’t quite working.
You’re not seeing the results you expect.
Your body feels different when you train.
And it’s harder to know what actually makes a difference.
This is where things start to feel more consistent
We apply the MHC Method™ to build strength, structure and confidence in how you move.
This isn’t about doing more exercise or pushing harder.
It’s about understanding how to train and fuel your body in a way that supports strength, energy and long-term health.
You might recognise yourself here:
You want to feel stronger, but aren’t sure what kind of training actually works in midlife.
You’ve relied on cardio, but your body composition or strength isn’t improving in the way you expected.
You feel less strong, more stiff, or less confident in your body than you used to.
You know movement matters - but you’re not sure how to structure it or stay consistent.
You want to protect muscle, metabolism and bone health - but don’t know where to start.
This program focuses on building strength, structure and confidence in how you move - alongside stablising energy & nutrition to support it.
What changes
You stop second-guessing your training.
Instead, you understand how to move and fuel your body in a way that builds strength, supports your metabolism and improves how your body feels and performs.
Over time, you feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in how you move - with a structure you can actually maintain.
You feel more in control of your body again.
