Feel like yourself again

Evidence-based support for women who want to feel energised and more comfortable in their body after 50

Hi, I’m Ruth and I help women like you build lasting healthy habits so they can lose health-impacting midsection weight and wake up feeling rested not worn out.

You’ve spent decades putting others first - family, work, community. You’re thoughtful, smart and proactive but lately, your body feels unfamiliar. You wake up tired. Your energy dips. Your clothes fit differently.

And your old routines aren’t working anymore.

If you’re ready for a change, here’s how I can help

Coaching that works

Reignite with Ruth (TM) is my signature small group coaching programme. It’s designed to help you increase energy, reduce midsection weight and build habits that actually last.

Free midlife health masterclass

Join my monthly masterclass ‘Why your old routine isn’t working and what to do instead’

In it, I’ll explain why your body has changed, share three powerful mindset shifts, practical tips and one small habit you can start tomorrow.

I’m Dr. Ruth Machin, retired NHS doctor, registered health coach and behaviour change specialist. I also hold a degree in psychology and am currently completing a master's in nutrition.

Our bodies are different after menopause.

Quick fixes and restrictive diets don’t work. We need a plan that respects where we are now and supports us in the decades ahead.

A plan for life

That’s what drives me. Helping women cut through social media confusion and learn to eat and live in a way that helps them feel amazing, in a world that tells us to expect a slow decline.

Coaching shaped by medical insight, grounded in behaviour science and designed for the realities of midlife.

A few of my lovely clients

  • “We have worked through the programme to explore my issues around food and make small changes each week to gradually improve my health. I thoroughly recommend working with Ruth, she is highly knowledgeable and a fantastic support".

    Kathryn

  • “I found discussing aspects of health easy due to Ruth’s open and balanced approach to the coaching. So, the programme has been easy, supportive and impactful".

    Jane

  • “Ruth exceeded all my expectations. She is an accomplished coach, professional, knowledgeable, and absolutely delightful to work with".

    Kay

  • “Ruth is a lovely person. Totally non-judgemental and just wants to help people to help themselves. Coaching has allowed me to confront my own obstacles, and I am more positive about the changes I can make to improve my life, lifestyle and health".

    Janice

  • "Ruth is very easy to talk to and put me at ease straight away. I feel much more positive about my future now than I did when I started. I’m sleeping better and am feeling motivated to make changes".

    Clare

  • “Your questioning drew out that I would help my health by taking a small step. This simple action could help to improve a situation I had been putting up with for too long. I would probably have allowed this to continue without your laser sharp coaching”.
