Charlotte Cheetham’s journey into women’s health was not born in textbooks or trends — it was forged through lived experience, resilience, and a deep refusal to accept that suffering should be normal. Today, as a gut health and menopause coach, Charlotte stands at the intersection of science, compassion, and real-life practicality, helping women reclaim their health, confidence, and sense of self during perimenopause and menopause.
Her story begins with her own health crisis. After years of pushing through stress, Charlotte developed stress-related IBS, followed by a severe gut infection that landed her in hospital. It was a pivotal moment — one that forced her to pause and reassess everything she believed about health, success, and lifestyle. “I knew I had to do something differently,” she reflects. “I couldn’t continue living the same way and expect my body to cope.”
That experience became the catalyst for transformation. Rather than viewing her symptoms as setbacks, Charlotte chose to see them as messages — signals that her body needed care, regulation, and understanding rather than suppression. This shift in perspective laid the foundation for what would become her coaching career, which she officially began three years ago.
What inspired her to step into this field was deeply personal. Alongside gut health struggles, Charlotte faced the often-overlooked challenges of perimenopause and menopause — a phase of life where many women are dismissed, misunderstood, or told that their symptoms are simply “hormones” they must endure. “That narrative is incredibly disempowering,” she says. “Women are made to feel as though exhaustion, brain fog, anxiety, and bloating are inevitable. They’re not.”
Charlotte’s work is centered on bridging that very gap — between dismissal and understanding, confusion and clarity. She helps women recognize that gut health, nervous system regulation, mindset, and daily habits play a profound role in how menopause is experienced. Rather than offering quick fixes or extreme protocols, she provides a grounded, science-informed approach that fits into real life.
What sets Charlotte apart is her holistic yet realistic methodology. She combines nutritional therapy, gut health science, and mindset work with a deep awareness of the emotional and professional pressures faced by women over 40. Many of her clients are high-functioning, 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,” Charlotte explains. “My role is to help them reconnect — with their bodies, their confidence, and their sense of control.”
Her philosophy is refreshingly compassionate. She doesn’t believe in perfection, restriction, or extremes. Instead, she focuses on small, consistent changes that create sustainable results. This approach not only reduces symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and brain fog, but also rebuilds trust in the body — something many women feel they’ve lost during this stage of life.
Every project Charlotte undertakes is guided by impact rather than scale. She listens closely to the real struggles women bring to her — fear about the future, low confidence, mental exhaustion, and the overwhelm caused by conflicting health advice. “If something doesn’t genuinely reduce overwhelm and help women feel more capable in their daily lives, I don’t pursue it,” she says. “Impact always comes first.”
Her motivation is rooted in transformation. Seeing women move from feeling broken, anxious, and depleted to calm, confident, and empowered fuels her work. For Charlotte, success isn’t defined by numbers or visibility — it’s measured by meaningful change. “When women show up better at work, in relationships, and for themselves because they feel supported in their health — that’s success.”
One of her proudest milestones has been developing structured gut health programmes that have helped women reduce long-standing symptoms while restoring confidence in their bodies. Beyond results, she takes pride in creating safe spaces — through courses, challenges, and community — where women feel seen, validated, and supported rather than judged or rushed.
Looking ahead, Charlotte’s vision is expansive yet focused. She is scaling her impact through online programmes and developing workplace-focused support for professional women navigating perimenopause. Her future projects also include educational resources designed to challenge outdated and harmful narratives around menopause — advocating for early intervention, clarity at work, and empowered conversations around women’s health.
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.
