Health and nutrition support for woman 40+
Feel better. Get clearer. Know what to do next.
Evidence-based support for women navigating health in midlife — from personalised 1:1 coaching and functional testing to practical articles, podcasts and workplace programmes.
Your health isn’t one-size-fits-all
There’s no shortage of advice telling women over 40 what they should eat, how they should exercise and which latest fix they apparently need.
We take a different approach.
Whether you’re working with us one-to-one, using functional testing, listening to the podcast or simply reading one of our articles, our aim is the same:
to help you make sense of your health and focus on what’s actually useful for you.
Personalised 1:1 coaching
Proper coaching. Built around you.
Our 12-week 1:1 coaching gives you dedicated support from James or Juli to work out what’s getting in your way, identify what matters most and turn that into realistic action.
There’s no fixed diet. No standard exercise plan. No expectation that you completely overhaul your life by Monday morning.
We look at the whole picture, decide together where your attention is best spent and adapt as we learn what works for you. Because you are NOT the same as everyone else.
Not sure whether it’s right for you? You can book a free 20-minute chat with James or Juli from the coaching page.
Take our free quiz
Not sure where to start?
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing that something needs to change.
It’s knowing what to tackle first.
Our free [QUIZ NAME] looks across the key areas of your health and helps you identify where things are going well — and where a little more attention could make the biggest difference.
It takes just a few minutes and gives you a clearer idea of where you might want to focus next.
Functional testing
Sometimes it helps to look a little deeper
We don’t believe everyone needs a battery of expensive tests.
But where testing can genuinely give us useful information, we can access and interpret specialist functional tests in areas such as gut and digestive health.
The important bit isn’t simply getting a report full of numbers.
It’s understanding what those results mean for you and what, if anything, you should do about them.
Why you can trust us
We’re James Ellis and Juli Madacey, the coaches behind Fabulous Beyond 40.
Between us, our professional backgrounds span nutrition therapy, herbal medicine, health coaching, movement and specialist menopause coaching.
But qualifications are only part of it.
We’ve spent years working with women in midlife and understand that health rarely behaves according to a textbook.
Real life contains jobs, families, stress, sleepless nights, health conditions, holidays, ageing parents, meals out, bad weeks and the occasional complete lack of enthusiasm for doing what you know you probably should.
Our job is to help you find an approach that works in the middle of all that.
What people say about working with us
“I’ve lost weight, changed my body shape, and have seen a drop in body fat. My energy levels and strength have increased dramatically.”

“I hired James to help me lose nearly two stone after having children. If he can help motivate a former couch potato like me, he can motivate anyone!”
- Client JC
“I learned to love the person in the mirror, and I like her a lot, even if she’s not the shape I thought she 'should' be. That’s never happened before.”
