Ready to find out what's really going on in your body?

Honestly, you could probably give a lecture on perimenopause at this point.

You've already tried the things that are supposed to work.

The clean eating. The fasting. The supplements. Maybe two or three practitioners. And you're still here, still not right, still wondering why your own body won't respond the way it used to.

You've cut the sugar. Cut the wine. Stopped the carbs after 6pm. You're walking most mornings and in bed by ten. And the weight around your middle hasn't moved a smidge.

You wake at 3am for no reason your GP can name. You read the same paragraph three times before it goes in. By mid-afternoon you'd give anything for a nap.

Your last blood test came back "all normal."

You sat in the car afterwards wondering if it really is just you.

If maybe you're being dramatic.

If it's "all in your mind."

If this is simply what your 40s are now.

And underneath all of it, a quieter thought you don't say out loud: you suspect there's something more going on.

You're probably right.

Here's the pattern I see in clinic every week.

A capable, intelligent woman who has spent two or three years (and often thousands of dollars) trying to fix this on her own. Keto. Fasting. The gym program. The supplement drawer that could stock a small pharmacy. Sometimes HRT, which helped a bit. Or didn't.

Each of those worked for someone she knows. None of them were built for her body.

Because a generic plan can't account for your thyroid pattern, your iron status, your blood sugar regulation, your stress load, your health history, or the fact that you're cooking for a family and working full days.

So every attempt costs money, effort, and hope. And each time one fails, it gets a little easier to believe the problem is you.

The truth is: you didn't fail.

The plans failed you.

Perimenopause isn't a discipline, supplement or medication problem. It's a physiology that has changed, and a body asking to be worked with differently.

The cultural script says this is just your lot now. That you're meant to white-knuckle through a decade of feeling unwell, and the best your doctor gives you is a shrug and "it's your age," or a bucket of supplements or medications to take. That script is wrong. And it's costing you.

Because every month you stay in the guessing game, your blood markers keep worsening. Your relationship with food gets a little more strained. The fog and the fatigue keep quietly taking hours from your work, your family, and you.

Feeling like this is common, but it was never meant to be your normal.

Common doesn't equal normal.

If perimenopause alone were the problem, every woman would feel this way.

But we don't.

The difference is how well your body is adapting to the hormone changes. And that depends on things we can actually see and change: nutrient levels, blood sugar regulation, thyroid function, inflammation, stress load, sleep.

We don't guess. We gather data.

The missing piece was never more effort. It was the information about your body, and a plan built from that.

When you can see what's actually happening in your blood and understand your physiology, the guessing stops. You're not following someone else's rules anymore. You're following yours, creating a plan that works for your body.

INTRODUCING

Your symptom scorecard

A short, validated symptom score at the start, the middle and the end of your program, so you can see what's shifted, not just hope it has.

Your precision health profile in the Shae app

Built from 18 measurements and 65 questions about your body and your life. This is the data set Your Eat, Drink, Do Plan is built from, with recipes, movement and daily timing matched to you.

Eat, Drink and Do Plan Session (45 minutes) + Your Eat, Drink, Do Plan

I walk you through what your profile is telling me (and your bloods, if you've included them), in plain language. Then you meet Your Eat, Drink and Do Plan: personalised nutrition, movement, and lifestyle guidance that lives in the Shae app on your phone, with recipes, workouts and support built in. Designed around your body, your food preferences, and your family's dinner table.

Weekly lessons, one short lesson at a time

A short lesson each week on what to eat, drink and do for your body in this phase, in the order we work through it together. Each one is only a few minutes long, so you can take what you need, when you need it, and understand the why behind everything you're feeling and doing.

Flavour First

My flavour and seasoning guide, so eating for your body never means eating boring. Because meals you enjoy make for a plan you stick with. Strategy beats restriction.

Add your functional blood panel

A 40+ marker functional pathology panel, privately arranged (no GP referral needed), read against optimal-for-perimenopause ranges, with your own functional report and a letter for your GP. Walked through together in your Eat, Drink and Do Plan Session. Included in The Chaos to Calm Method with bloods ($1,597).

How is this different from what you've already tried?

A standard panel often misses what matters most in perimenopause, because it's read against ranges built to catch disease and medicate, not to keep you in your best health.

An off-the-shelf program gives every woman, regardless of age, background, or how close they are to menopause, the same plan.

A supplement protocol throws products at symptoms without reading the body and what's really happening underneath.

The Chaos to Calm Method reads your actual body, and your actual biochemistry when you include bloods, then builds the plan from it. That's the whole difference. Every plan you've followed until now was borrowed. This one is built for you.

Honestly, this isn't for everyone.

- You want a quick fix or a single magic supplement. This is a plan you work, not a pill you take.

- You're not willing to change what you eat, drink, and do. The plan only works if you do.

- You want someone to manage your health for you indefinitely. This builds your capability, then sets you free with it.

HELLO, I'M

Sarah McLachlan, The Perimenopause Naturopath (BHSc Nat, BSc Psyc)

In my early 40s, my body changed almost overnight. I gained 20 kilos in under a year, eating and moving the same as always. My immune system turned on me and I developed coeliac disease, new allergies. I had heavy periods, no energy, and a level of irritability that didn't feel like me at all. I was sweaty, anxious, exhausted, snapping at people, and stuck in elastic-waist pants. My doctor said I was too young for perimenopause. My bloods said otherwise.

So I went looking for real answers, in functional pathology and personalised nutrition. When I finally applied truly personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies to my own body, I released 19 kilos in 14 weeks. My energy came back. My mood settled. I was the fun mum again. And I understood, for the first time, how to eat and live in a way that supported my changing physiology instead of fighting it.

That's what I've spent 9+ years in clinical practice doing for hundreds of women across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Because perimenopause doesn't have to be a sh!t show.

How is this different from a meal plan?

A meal plan gives everyone the same thing. This reads your bloods and your individual profile, then builds what's right for your body across food, drink, and lifestyle - and adjusts it as you respond.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Pay in full, or split it into four: $357 a month (no bloods), or $427 a month (with bloods). The details are below.

Do I need a referral for the bloods?

No. If you choose the program with bloods, the panel is arranged privately, with no GP referral needed.

I've already had blood tests through my GP. Why test again?

Bring them to your Clarity Call. Sometimes they tell us enough that the program without the panel is the right fit, and I'll read them with you in session. Sometimes they're missing the markers that matter for perimenopause, and the full functional panel is worth doing. We decide together on the call.

I'm on HRT (MHT) or other medications. Can I still do this?

Yes. The plan works alongside hormone therapies (MHT, HRT) and most medications. In The Chaos to Calm Method we focus on the cellular foundations that make any plan, including MHT, work better.

I'm coeliac, vegetarian, react to certain foods, or have cultural preferences. Will this still work?

Yes. Your plan is built around your body, including intolerances, conditions, and cultural or religious preferences. I'm coeliac myself, so working with a sensitive gut and real food limits is something I do every day.

What if I lose steam halfway through?

That's exactly what the check-ins and your WhatsApp support are for. This isn't a PDF meal plan and "good luck". We adjust as life happens. Progress over perfection, always.

I don't live in Adelaide. Can I join?

Yes. Everything runs via video conferencing (Zoom). I work with women across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, and blood collection is arranged near you.

Is there a refund policy?

Because of the personalised and digital nature of the program, there are no refunds for change of mind. I ask you to commit to the 12 weeks, and I commit to you for all of them. If something isn't working, tell me and we fix it together.

Why a Clarity Call first?

Because this program isn't right for everyone, and I'd rather tell you that before you invest. It's a free, unhurried conversation about what's going on for you and which level of support fits. Not proceeding is always a valid outcome.

What happens after the twelve weeks?

You keep your plan and your understanding. If you'd like to keep your plan live in the Shae app, ongoing access is available as a membership, with a session with me included each year. No lock-in contracts.
