Have the energy you need to succeed without burning out
Benefits
95% have more energy
Energy and motivation are inextricably linked. Achieving your goals and staying sane relies on your energy being stable and sustainable. As a business owner, you need a lot.
84% have better concentration
Brain fog, forgetfulness and poor concentration that come with perimenopause really get in the way of your progress, hours worked and confidence.
73% experience less stress
Anxiety, overwhelm and stress are often a fact of life for self-employed people. All are often worse in perimenopause, with anxiety one of the first signs of hormonal change.
95% lose weight
You are the face of your business, and you have to put yourself out there. Look great and feel confident when you're representing your brand.
Weight loss isn't just about vanity - it's about your health and success, now and in the future
100% feel healthier
Run your business without worrying when your period is due, about your energy levels, your motivation, or whether you'll have another headache, or a bad night's sleep.
If you're living with a long-term health condition, or whether 'just' undiagnosed health niggles your doctor can't help you with, the changes you'll make in The Nourish Club can reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, reduce aches and pains, PMS, irritability and insomnia and many perimenopausal symptoms.
Guarantee
I've worked with this programme for so long and am so confident in it that I offer you a full money-back guarantee.
If you follow every step of this programme and don't experience any health benefits, I'll give you your money back.
What have you got to lose?
Stop letting your health get in the way of your business
HOW DOES IT WORK?
One simple nutritional principle
Not a diet, a new way of eating for life that energises, reduces stress, is anti-inflammatory, provides mental clarity and motivation as well as stopping sugar cravings in 7 days.
Stress reduction
Stress causes overwhelm and overthinking. It also causes weight gain around the middle and insomnia.
Long-term stress causes your (cavewoman) body to get stuck in fight or flight, aka emergency survival mode - it might be work pressure, but your body thinks there's a tiger coming in to your cave.
In that moment, all your resources are focused on survival, nothing else is important. Not your immune system, digestion, hormone balance, tissue repair.
Getting your body out of flight or flight mode means your body can work the way it's designed to - healthily. You feel much better, and it puts your body in a state where healing can take place.
Lifestyle techniques
Learning to slow down, say no, plan your diary so it works for you, take breaks, breathe, skin brush, move, relax, hydrate, take care of you
Your whole self
We are so much more than a body and a brain. We are our emotions, our beliefs, our personal history, our energy and our inner voice.
Affirmations, visualisations, hypnotherapy, flower remedies, Emotional Freedom Technique and ways of accessing the unconscious mind where memories, habits and behaviours are stored are all part of your nourishing journey.
Food intolerance
Establish if you have any common food intolerances which may be causing you to feel below par.
Your Business Success
Operate from a place of calm
Learn to contain self-doubts and fears that get in your way
Improve motivation and focus
Break old, unhelpful habits and establish new, helpful ones
Imagine, for a moment, operating this way. What would change for you?
Come on a journey to true health and self-confidence
You are a whole person and your mental and physical health is reliant on many things: vitamins, minerals, food intolerance, stress, sleep quality, hormone balance, health history, emotions, limiting beliefs and your inner critic.

You don’t know where to turn
Approaching or in perimenopause
Concerned about your brain function,
memory and mood
Not prepared to let your health affect
your profit any longer
Wanting to lose weight, sustainably
Confused about what to eat and sick of faddy diets
Blaming yourself for lacking the willpower to stick to a healthy eating plan
Living with health niggles your doctor can't help with
Ready to take back control of your health
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
You just want a quick fix
You don’t want to learn how to nourish your body
You’re not willing to change your habits, so they work for you, not against you
You want someone else to take responsibility for your health
You don't see how making your body healthy can impact your business
You just want to keep on pushing through, regardless of how you feel
ABOUT THE NOURISH CLUB
More than 150 women have lived, learnt and loved the principles of this programme.
Born in 2017 as a weight loss programme, it quickly became clear this was SO much more than mere weight loss.
The simple nutritional and lifestyle principles had far-reaching effects on health niggles people had lived with for years - and been told by their GPs that nothing could be done about.
People not only lost weight, gained energy and felt better, but their confidence increased, their inner critic quietened and they started to feel differently about themselves.
They started to achieve more in life, and business too.
This programme has run as Intelligent Weight Loss and The Feel Fantastic Programme. The testimonials and quoted results come from these programmes. The Nourish Club core teachings are the same, with mindset and stress reduction for business.
Since 2003 I’ve helped perimenopausal women feel good without medication by teaching them how to create real energy and vitality using food, lifestyle, natural remedies and the right mindset as medicine.
You can take control of your health and feel amazing every day.
As a business owner and mentor, I can help you take control of your mindset and feel amazing about your business too.
Can you really afford to carry on as you are?
- Sara Southgate

Frequently AskedQuestions
Since 2017, this programme has worked for the vast majority of the 150+ people who have done it.
They came because they were experiencing trouble losing weight, stress and overwhelm, low energy and general hormonal imbalances of perimenopause and had been to their doctor, who was unable to help them.
This programme will ensure your body has everything it needs to function well. However, some aspects of chronic health conditions may require the VIP 1:1 Support option (see FAQs) for full resolution.
While I am happy to promise you that - provided you follow the programme and do the work - you will feel healthier, less stressed and more energetic, there are some circumstances in which additional support may be necessary.
For instance, if you have severe symptoms, a complex health picture, or take multiple medications, you may need to upgrade to bespoke herbal medicine or a 1:1 programme may be needed in addition, or instead of the programme.
You MUST book a call with Sara to determine which is the most appropriate route for you. Options are The Nourish Club Group Programme/ The Nourish Club Group Programme + bespoke herbal medicine upgrade/ The Nourish Club + 1:1 programme.
Sara reserves the right to determine suitability, which she'll do during your call and using your symptom picture questionnaire, filled out prior to that call.
There are many definitions of ‘healthy eating’, most of which are largely based on low calorie, low fat eating and deprive your body of the nutrients it needs to function optimally. Eating right for your life stage, for your hormones and consuming anti-inflammatory foods is completely different. This programme guides you to eat delicious, family friendly food that works WITH your body, not against it.
The list of symptoms of perimenopause is long, and tests are not always reliable. Not all doctors recognise this important, natural life stage.
Hormones start to change from the age of 35 (ish), and can continue until 50 (ish), so if you’re in this age- bracket, and feeling rubbish, this programme is for you.
Anxiety, fatigue and brain fog are some of the more common first signs, along with erratic periods, aches & pains, insomnia, irritability and headaches..
This programme is not about dieting and restriction, it’s about learning to eat really well for the rest of your life.
This is a health programme, where weight loss is a happy side-effect for 95% of members.
It’s incredibly rare for people to follow the programme and not lose weight. It’s also incredibly rare for people not to enjoy this family-friendly way of eating.
This is not for you if you want a quick (temporary) weight loss fix. This is about changing your habits and eating to change your health, forever.
If you have more than 2 stone to lose, you will require additional support.
This programme has been proven to help the vast majority of people.
However, some people - with some conditions - may require additional support for the best results. Some people know they work better with more handholding.
The VIP 1:1 option is for these people.
It includes monthly bespoke herbal medicine prescription, supplement programme and flower remedies as appropriate, a 60 minute initial consultation and five 30 minute follow-up consultations with coaching and accountability.
If you're not sure if you need VIP 1:1 support, please book a call with Sara.
Herbal medicine is as old as the hills. It's safe, effective and comes without side-effects.
Sara thinks of herbal medicine as one of her superpowers.
They are a gentle way to rebalance and restore a perimenopausal body.
Herbs can be used to strengthen and tonify the body, balance hormones, restore adrenals, prevent burnout, support sleep and calm a frazzled nervous system.
In The Nourish Club, a calming, balancing, restorative yet energising blend will be posted out to you each month.
It's Sara's responsibility to ensure there are no interactions with any prescribed medication you may take - and yours to tell Sara about any medication you do take.
Doctors are really great at spotting life-threatening illness. However, they have very little nutritional training, or time in appointments, and so are not able to advise you on what to eat and how to strengthen and nourish your body from the inside out, using food, lifestyle techniques and mindset as medicine.
This is where naturopathic medicine excels.
Having access to Sara’s decades of clinical experience is a real game-changer.
Where you have been examined by your doctor and blood tests are all normal, you are not undergoing any further investigations, no explanation has been found and your doctor is not concerned about your health (unexplained ‘low-grade’ ill-health) this programme works for the vast majority.
In all the years I've run this programme, there has never been an instance where there was no improvement at all in health terms. 100% of participants felt healthier and empowered for doing the programme.
I'm especially proud of this, because i work with the people doctors can't help.
This programme works because it’s looking at the fundamentals of your health - the things your doctor doesn’t look at, like nutrient status, food intolerance, stress, eating right for your life stage, sleep, bowel regularity, self care and boundaries.
Since 2017, this programme has worked for the vast majority of the 150+ people who have done it.
If you have a diagnosis from your doctor for a common condition, or conditions, such as IBS, eczema, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or low thyroid, the blood sugar and hormonal balance, anti-inflammatory aspects and identification (through dietary means) of common food intolerances will most likely resolve many of your symptoms.
If you have mild-moderate IBS, eczema, constipation, or recurrent infections and take prescribed medication only occasionally, you will be able to join this programme without additional support. Please see next question.
If you are pre-diabetic you may join without VIP support.
If you are diabetic you will require VIP support.
Sara reserves the right to decide whether or not you require VIP 1:1 support, or are not suitable for this programme.
* if you take antidepressants, you have been taking them for some time and your mood is stable, you may join the group programme.
If you have a diagnosed mood disorder or eating disorder a group programme is not suitable for you. Please speak to Sara about a 1:1 programme.
Everyone will be required to fill out a health history form before we start. If you haven't had a call with Sara, and she feels you need VIP 1:1 support or if the programme is not appropriate for you, she will contact you before the programme commences.
Commonly prescribed medications
Thyroxine - as long as your levels are stable, this will be no problem
Antidepressants - as long as you’re stable, this will be no problem
Omeprazole - not a problem
Statins - no problem, provided the reason for prescription is high cholesterol only. This programme is not suitable for people with heart disease
Metformin - if you take this or other diabetic medication, you will need VIP support
Asthma - as long as you are stable, this will be no problem
Painkillers - Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, provided you are taking for occasional pain relief, there will be no problem. Stronger painkillers like Naproxen, Codeine and Gabapentin will require VIP support.
HRT/ The Pill/ Mirena coil - these medications all mask (as opposed to cure) hormonal symptoms, but they don't always get rid of all symptoms.
This programme will still work for symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, low mood, brain fog, aches & pains alongside hormonal medications.
Herbal medicine
It's Sara's responsibility to ensure there are no interactions with any prescribed medication you may take - and yours to tell Sara about any medication you do take.
Through a combination of the application form, your call with Sara and Sara's decades of experience in helping women resolve health problems that doctors cannot help with.
If Sara does not feel The Nourish Club programme will resolve your particular health problems, she may recommend the VIP support option (available at checkout) if that's appropriate.
If Sara doesn't feel it will help you, she may recommend a 1:1 programme alongside or instead of The Nourish Club, or she may refer you on to something more appropriate.
Ensuring you have the right levels of the right nutrients for healing is key to your success, so Sara will be recommending you take her ‘holy trinity’ of 3 supplements to make sure you’ve got the baseline your body needs to heal.
These supplements are optional, but recommended. The cost is approx £55 for a month’s supply.
Sara cannot prescribe a personalised supplement plan for individuals in a group programme.
I'm a health coach, NLP+ coach and business mentor to nutritionists, as well as a naturopath, herbalist, kinesilogist and reiki master.
This programme is about improving your health and energy, and decreasing weight and stress levels, and your business thriving as a result.
We won't be talking in detail about sales funnels, engagement tactics or marketing, although having been in business for so long, I do have opinions on all of the above! There will also be a wealth of knowledge with the other business owners in the group.
We'll do regular goal setting, gentle but firm accountability to make sure you implement what you need to achieve, and support to help you stay on track with everything you set out to do - whether it's a health goal, or a business goal.
Much of the value you'll get from The Nourish Club (in addition to the health benefits) comes from knowing yourself, and the relationship with yourself, quiet your inner critic, boost your self-belief and keep those self-doubts at bay while you go about your business.
It's about getting rid of the demons that live in your head and get in your way so you're free to get on with your business.
Where you have been examined by your doctor and blood tests are all normal, you are not undergoing any further investigations, no explanation has been found and your doctor is not concerned about your health (unexplained ‘low-grade’ ill-health) this programme works for the vast majority.
Common health niggles like PMS, constipation, aches & pains, headaches and dry skin should resolve during the course of the group programme.
Frequent infections, migraines, painful periods, heavy periods, erratic menstrual cycles may require the VIP 1:1 support, discuss with Sara in your call.
Investing in your self and your health is investing in your business
