Ladybug App helps women eat in a way that supports steadiness, strength, and confidence through hormonal change — without dieting or calorie tracking.
If you’re doing the right things — eating well, moving more — but still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not failing. The advice just isn’t designed for this phase.
I’m Natalie Forrester — yoga teacher, mother, and the voice behind Ladybug. I went through early menopause (POI) in my mid-30s, and I felt tired, foggy, and unlike myself — even while eating well, moving, and using HRT.
The turning point wasn’t eating less. It was eating smarter — with real food that supports this phase.
Ladybug is a mobile app designed to support women through hormonal change using real food — not rules, restriction, or calorie targets.
Inside the app, you’ll find chef-created recipes and gentle nutrient guidance that help you understand what your body needs now — without dieting or tracking calories.
Perimenopause doesn’t arrive overnight. It builds quietly — changing how your body uses nutrients, manages energy, and recovers from everyday stress — often long before periods change or hot flushes appear.
One of the first signs, your hormones are shifting.
Fatigue, anxiety, or mood swings? Sleep often becomes lighter, more broken, and less restorative during this phase — even when you’re doing everything “right.” As hormone levels shift, your body uses up magnesium and omega-3 faster than before, leaving you tired and restless even after a full night's sleep.
Belly fat that wasn't there before? Hormonal changes cause fat to redistribute to the waist, even without changes in diet. Fibre helps manage blood sugar and reduce visceral fat, while protein supports lean muscle to keep metabolism steady.
Brain fog and forgetfulness? As oestrogen fluctuates, it can affect how your brain processes information. Omega-3 helps support focus, while vitamin D — often lower during this phase — plays a role in memory and emotional balance.
Muscle turning to fat? Lean mass naturally decreases during hormonal transition. Without enough protein and vitamin D, muscle repair slows, and strength fades faster.
Bone loss and fracture risk. Globally, 1 in 3 women over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture. Calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium help maintain bone density and resilience.
If you’ve been eating well for years but now feel more tired, foggier, or softer around the middle — it isn’t lack of effort.
Hormonal shifts change how your body uses key nutrients. Ladybug focuses on the six that matter most right now — protein, fibre, omega-3, magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium — and shows you how to support them through real meals, not perfection.
Weekly chef-created recipes designed for this life stage — steady energy, better strength support, and food that feels doable.
Ladybug turns everyday meals into gentle insight: you’ll see what you’re getting enough of, what to top up, and what supports you most right now — without calorie counting.
