Episode 16 - Restoring midlife vitality for women through functional medicine and emotions coaching with Sonia Jenkins
Confidence To Thrive - a podcast for ambitious healthcare practitioners and entrepreneurs
<p>Midlife vitality for High-Achieving Women: Functional Medicine, Emotions Coaching and Sustainable Change</p>
<p>In this episode of Confidence to Thrive, Owlicity director Christopher Cloke Browne speaks with Sonia Jenkins, author, former NHS nurse practitioner of 45 years, and midlife wellness expert, about helping high-achieving women over 50 restore energy, sleep, and emotional resilience through The Sonia Jenkins Method. </p>
<p>Sonia shares how her own experience of developing type 1 diabetes in her 40s led her to retrain in functional medicine and essential emotions coaching, combining them alongside medicine to support sustainable, personalised change. </p>
<p>They discuss reframing midlife as a powerful turning point, the importance of lifestyle, nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing, and the challenge of “noise” from conflicting health advice. </p>
<p>Sonia emphasises moving from information to integration, listening beyond a 10-minute snapshot, and helping women reconnect with body signals rather than relying on willpower or quick fixes.</p>
