IN JUST
16 minutes a day, for 5 days
I'll show you how to
calm your cortisol AND
give your brain and body back the capacity that stress and hormones have been quietly stealing so you recognise yourself again
High cortisol doesn't just leave you feeling wired.
It can amplify every symptom of perimenopause.
When your brain and body are using increasing resources dealing with changing hormones, there is less capacity for everything else, like:
Clear thinking, a fearsome memory, effortless performance,
calm, feeling well-resourced
and the ability to manage cravings and weight.
No wonder you don't know who you are anymore.
The 5-Day Cortisol Detox isn't about stress management.
It's about learning to change the physiological conditions your brain and body are working in.
And protect the capacity you need for the future
you've worked so hard to build.
Because the woman you've spent decades becoming doesn't deserve to disappear in midlife.
Inside The 5-Day Cortisol Detox, I'll teach you how to deliberately switch your body out of Stress Response (aka 'always on') and into Relaxation Response (aka able to switch off), using 3 evidence-based Relaxation Rituals, that:
* Signal safety to your nervous system
* Help reduce cortisol, naturally
* Restore emotional steadiness in as little as 3 minutes
* Create better conditions for clear thinking and sleep
* Create conditions conducive to hormone balance and fat loss
* Switch off your stress response
It takes just 16 minutes a day, and
you'll feel the shift in just 3 minutes
Imagine if, in just 5 days, you experienced:
Any, or all of:
✓ Falling asleep easily and staying asleep
✓ Waking up refreshed, instead of exhausted
✓ Feeling calm and capable even when life is chaotic
✓ Thinking clearly again
✓ Feeling less reactive, more like yourself
✓ Remembering what it feels like to trust yourself completely
✓ Finishing your working day with something left for life
Your body has two operating modes.
Stress response, which keeps you alert, focused and ready to deal with life.
Brilliant in short bursts.
Exhausting when it becomes your default.
You call it busy. Your body calls it stress.
Stress messes up your hormones and steals your capacity.
Your body also has a built-in Relaxation Response.
It's not just about feeling calm. It's a different physiological state where
Stress hormones settle
Your thinking brain comes back online
Sleep, repair and hormone balance become possible again.
Why this matters
Perimenopause forces a metabolic and hormonal shift, which changes the physiology of your body and makes everything harder.
Your brain and body are spending a lot of energy compensating for those changes, which means you use up all your capacity just to keep up.
You cannot organise, discipline or positive-think your way
out of a metabolically changed body that is stuck in Stress Response
(aka 'always on').
The good news?
The Relaxation Response
(aka 'able to switch off')
is an in-built part of your physiology; your body already knows how to come back down.
You've just never been taught how.
Until now. Join us.

“I am managing and LOVING the Tea Ritual - it feels so wonderful to do.
I've also become aware now just how addicted I am to the cortisol high, and how much it helps to calm it down.
The coaching you're giving in the WhatsApp group is really resonating with me — and helping me implement daily.
Thank you so much Sara."

Because the woman you've spent decades becoming shouldn't disappear in midlife
Let’s be real, your brain, and your capacity are priceless.
If you want to take hold of your health, stress and hormones naturally, you’ve found the right lady!
That's me! 😉
I believe women deserve far more than being told to "just put up with it"
I'm a Naturopath, Herbalist, Kinesiologist and NLP+ Coach, and I've helped thousands of women navigate perimenopause and menopause naturally since 2003.
I'm also post-menopausal and chose to do perimenopause naturally, while running a busy full-time practice, supporting family and navigating all the demands of modern life.
I know what it's like to carry a lot.
And I know that high-performing women do not need more information.
They HAVE information.
They've read books, listened to podcasts and asked ChatGPT.
What they need is more capacity, and an experienced guide.
And simple, proven, practical ways to stop spending so much of it just holding everything together.
That's exactly what you'll find here.
“The knowledge Sara has is astounding. I feel she's my guardian angel."
I was so tired when I started to work with Sara. The investment I made in my body with Sara has given me so much back of me. The knowledge that Sara has is astounding and I feel that every day I have a guardian angel with me.”
- Lisa Ruscoe
“Sara’s approach is a revelation. Work with her."
I definitely recommend working with her. Sara’s been brilliant in helping me resolve health issues and her approach to dealing with modern day ills has been a revelation.
- Chris Jarter
How elevated cortisol amplifies almost every symptom of perimenopause and menopause - and what to do about it.
Why your brain and body may be working much harder than they used to just to keep you functioning at the same level.
Why you're experiencing sugar cravings, energy crashes, belly fat brain fog and overwhelm, and how to interrupt the cycle.
Three powerful Relaxation Rituals you'll genuinely look forward to doing.
How to deliberately switch from Stress Response into Realxation Response, so your brain and body can stop spending so much energy on staying alert.
How to make these Rituals part of everyday life, so calm and capacity become things you can access when you need them, not something you only experience at weekends or on holiday.
“Sara is a life and health changer. Her knowledge is incredible."
Her knowledge on health and wellbeing is absolutely incredible.”
- Kezzabelle Ambler
“My brain is clearer, my thinking is better.
I have way more energy, and it happened so fast.”
- Megan Messenger
“For anyone struggling with energy, brain fog or weight, I can't recommend Sara enough - she changed my life."
She’s a knowledgeable, kind and encouraging coach - never judgemental. For anyone who is struggling with energy, brain fog or weight, do get in touch with Sara- she changed my life. I really do feel fantastic.”
- Mharii Morris

Let’s get them answered
Who is this for?
This is for you are a high-achieving woman in perimenopause or menopause who refuses to quietly decline.
You are still performing, but it is taking more of you to do it.
You want to protect your brain, body, capacity and future, naturally.
You do not want HRT, or HRT isn't doing enough.
You want practical tools rather than more information.
You don't want another complicated health regime to manage.
You're done coping and ready to have more of yourself available again.
How is it delivered?
A 5 day programme with two recorded 45 minute trainings and daily LIVE support and coachingt in a private WhatsApp group.
You'll also get a daily email from me with inspiration and reminders to keep you in the zone, and access to recordings of my unique Relaxation Rituals to accompany you throughout the programme. The duration of the rituals is 3 minutes, or 10 minutes (and there's even a shorter option than that for those who need it).
You can download these, and keep them - and use them - forever.
You will need to implement to get the benefits.
The ideal is a Relaxation Ritual at 10am and 3pm daily (allow 3 minutes each time), and 10 minutes at lunchtime.
Put these in your diary now!
I'll be there to guide you, live each day and will answer your questions and coach you daily in our private WhatsApp group in video or text format.
If I take HRT, can I still join?
Yes. HRT is not always the panacea we’re seeking, so many women also want to know how to look after themselves with food and lifestyle.
The natural solutions we’ll be covering in this programme do not interact with prescribed medication.
If I’m already eating healthily and taking supplements, will this still work for me?
Yes. Regulating your nervous system by detoxing cortisol to expand your capacity is a powerful intervention that works beautifully alongside a healthy diet.
How long do we get access to the materials and recording?
Because life happens and not everyone manages to start at the same, time, I'll give support in the WhatsApp group for 10 days - and the Relaxation Rituals are yours to download and use forever. The Live Trainings will be available for 10 days only.
Is there any 1:1 access to Sara in this programme?
This is a group programme, but if you’d like to upgrade to work with Sara within her live group programme or 1:1, please reach out to sara@sarasoutgate.com
Sara will be there with you LIVE each day, answering your questions and guiding you every single step of the way for the 5 days.
It's a simple, scientifically grounded approach that has already helped hundreds of women.
What you learn over these five days will support you not only through perimenopause and menopause, but for the rest of your life.
Because the goal is not to remove stress from your life.
You have a career, a business, people who need you. Things you still want to build.
The goal is to stop every demand costing you too much.
When you know how to deliberately change your physiological state, you have a way back.
Back to clear thinking. Back to emotional steadiness. Back to yourself.
And, more importantly, FORWARDS, with more of your capacity available for the life you still want to create.
