Welcome to Midlife Vitality.
If you’re a woman in your 40s, 50s or beyond and you no longer feel like yourself, you’re in the right place.
I’m Marie Cherrett, a Harley Street Functional Medicine Practitioner and Nutritional Therapist. I help women understand some of the underlying drivers behind fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, bloating, anxiety, low mood, inflammation, stubborn weight gain and hormonal changes in perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
Here you’ll find practical, evidence-aware videos on functional medicine, nutrition, gut health, blood sugar balance, cortisol, stress, energy, the nervous system, sleep, metabolism, weight loss and healthy ageing.
My approach isn’t about extreme diets, punishing exercise or quick fixes. It’s about helping you understand your body, addressing the root causes where possible, and helping you feel like yourself again.
Subscribe for regular videos to help you navigate midlife with greater energy, clarity, confidence and hope.

Can eating desserts actually drop your cortisol levels and stop midlife weight gain? 🧁✨
It sounds completely counter-intuitive, but a trip back to my homeland of Thailand defied every mainstream rule of the fitness industry.
What if I told you that your metabolism doesn’t care how "perfect" your diet is if your body thinks it’s running from a predator? 🐅
We are constantly told that midlife weight gain and exhaustion are just a simple maths problem—eat less, move more. But as a functional medicine practitioner, I am here to tell you that it is a biochemistry problem.
In my brand-new video that went live JUST NOW, I am sharing something deeply personal that I rarely talk about. Despite working at a leading clinic on Harley Street and navigating my own 40-year health journey, I found myself completely trapped by dense brain fog and stubborn midlife belly fat—even though my diet was pristine.
My HPA-axis (stress response system) had been pushed into absolute overdrive, forcing my body to aggressively lock away visceral fat around my middle for survival.
But a trip back to my beautiful homeland of Thailand changed everything, defied every mainstream fitness rule, and gave me the keys to flip my body's master-switch back into healing mode.
I’m breaking down the exact science of midlife cortisol, hormonal decline, and the 5 non-negotiable fixes you can start tomorrow morning to pull your body out of survival mode and turn your muscles into a metabolic sponge.
