Charlotte Cheetham’s journey into women’s health was not shaped by textbooks or trends—it was forged through lived experience, resilience, and a deep refusal to accept that suffering should be normal. Today, as a respected gut health and menopause coach, Charlotte stands at the intersection of science, compassion, and real-life practicality, supporting women as they navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
Her path began with a personal health crisis that would quietly redefine her life. Years of chronic stress eventually manifested as stress-related IBS, followed by a severe gut infection that landed her in hospital. It was a moment of reckoning—one that forced her to pause and reassess everything she believed about success, productivity, and wellbeing. “I knew I had to do something differently,” Charlotte recalls. “I couldn’t continue living the same way and expect my body to cope.”
Rather than viewing her symptoms as a betrayal, Charlotte chose to see them as communication. Her body wasn’t failing her—it was asking for regulation, care, and understanding. That shift in perspective became the foundation of her work and the beginning of a new relationship with her health. Three years ago, she officially stepped into coaching, transforming her personal recovery into a professional calling.
Alongside gut health challenges, Charlotte faced the often-overlooked realities of perimenopause and menopause—a stage of life where countless women feel dismissed, misunderstood, or told that their symptoms are simply “hormonal” and inevitable. “That narrative is incredibly disempowering,” she explains. “Women are made to believe exhaustion, anxiety, brain fog, bloating, and emotional overwhelm are just something they have to endure. They’re not.”
Charlotte’s mission is to dismantle that belief system. Her work bridges the gap between confusion and clarity, helping women understand how gut health, nervous system regulation, mindset, and daily habits profoundly influence the menopausal experience. Rather than quick fixes or restrictive protocols, she offers a grounded, science-informed approach that fits into real, demanding lives.
What sets Charlotte apart is her holistic yet deeply realistic methodology. She integrates nutritional therapy, gut health science, and mindset coaching with a nuanced understanding of the pressures women over 40 face—professionally, emotionally, and socially. Many of her clients are high-achieving, capable women who feel blindsided by sudden changes in their bodies and identities. “So many women tell me they feel like they’ve lost themselves,” she says. “My role is to help them reconnect—with their bodies, their confidence, and their sense of control.”
Her philosophy is rooted in compassion rather than perfection. Charlotte doesn’t believe in extremes, deprivation, or chasing an unrealistic version of ‘optimal health.’ Instead, she focuses on small, consistent shifts that create sustainable change. This approach not only alleviates physical symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and brain fog, but also rebuilds trust in the body—something many women lose during this life phase.
Every project Charlotte undertakes is guided by impact, not scale. She listens closely to the lived experiences women bring to her: fear about the future, declining confidence, mental exhaustion, and the overwhelm created by conflicting health advice. “If something doesn’t genuinely reduce overwhelm or help women feel more capable in their daily lives, I don’t pursue it,” she explains. “Impact always comes first.”
Her motivation is transformation—witnessing women move from feeling broken, anxious, and depleted to calm, empowered, and self-assured. For Charlotte, success isn’t measured by visibility or numbers, but by meaningful change. “When women show up better at work, in their relationships, and for themselves because they feel supported in their health—that’s success.”
One of her proudest achievements has been developing structured gut health programmes that have helped women reduce long-standing symptoms while restoring confidence in their bodies. Beyond results, she places immense value on creating safe, supportive spaces—through courses, challenges, and community—where women feel validated rather than dismissed, understood rather than rushed.
Looking ahead, Charlotte’s vision is both expansive and intentional. She is scaling her impact through online programmes while developing workplace-focused support for professional women navigating perimenopause. Future projects also include educational resources designed to challenge outdated narratives around menopause, advocating for early intervention, informed conversations, and greater clarity within professional environments.
At its core, Charlotte Cheetham’s work is about reclaiming agency. She is redefining what it means to thrive after 40—not by fighting the body, but by understanding it. In doing so, she is helping women rewrite their stories with strength, clarity, and confidence.
In a world that often tells women to endure, Charlotte Cheetham offers something far more powerful: permission to heal, tools to transform, and the belief that this chapter of life can be one of the strongest yet.
