Gabby Logan Shares Her Realistic Midlife “Game Plan” for Supporting Wellbeing On The Go

With summer approaching and schedules becoming increasingly busy, many women find healthy routines slipping down the priority list, particularly during midlife, when energy, recovery and balance can already feel harder to maintain.
Now, broadcaster, former international gymnast and Menopace ambassador Gabby Logan, 53, is sharing the realistic “game plan” she relies on to stay well through long working days, regular travel and an unpredictable schedule.
Rather than following rigid wellness trends or striving for perfection, Gabby focuses on flexible, everyday habits that work in real life, especially when she is always on the go. Small things that help her maintain her health and wellbeing routine, even during the busiest periods.
For Gabby, it comes down to three key priorities: planning good nutrition, keeping movement adaptable and building in small recovery moments throughout the day.
Planning Ahead with Nutrition
Gabby says one of the biggest factors in helping her feel her best during busy weeks is planning ahead with food, particularly when travelling or working long days where structured meals aren’t always possible. To avoid energy dips and relying on whatever is available on the go, she keeps simple, practical options with her that she can easily reach for between commitments.
Inside her bag or travel kit, she typically has homemade protein balls (see recipes below), supplements, herbal teas, chewing gum, a water bottle and other easy snacks that help her stay fuelled throughout the day.

Gabby Logan, Menopace Ambassador, comments: “Travelling and long days often mean eating isn’t as structured as I’d like. Having simple things with me like nutritious snacks, water and supplements helps me feel a bit more in control of the day.”
Alongside these habits, Gabby includes Menopace as part of her daily routine for consistent nutritional support. Menopace Max includes vitamin B6 to support the regulation of hormonal activity, vitamin B12 and iron help support normal energy release and calcium, magnesium and vitamin D to support the maintenance of normal bones, alongside zinc to support normal skin and hair and vitamin C to support the normal function of the immune system. Menopace Max also provides Soya Isoflavones, Green Tea and Red Clover extracts.
Staying Well On The Go
For Gabby, staying well while travelling is super important. Many people fall into an “all of nothing” mindset, either trying to stick rigidly to routines or letting them slip entirely. Instead, Gabby focuses on a more realistic, flexible approach that works around busy and unpredictable schedules.
Her priority is making small, manageable choices that support how she feels, rather than aiming for perfection. This applies across nutrition, movement and overall routine when she is away from home.
When it comes to movement, Gabby keeps things simple and accessible while travelling, often using resistance bands for short, effective exercises that can be done in hotel rooms or fitted around her schedule. And grabbing any opportunity to get out in the fresh air to walk is good for the heart, bones and mind! This approach reinforces her belief in consistency over intensity.
Gabby says, “Some days I’ll have time for a proper workout, other days I won’t. I’ve learned that doing something always feels better than doing nothing, even if it’s only ten minutes. Always keeping a resistance band on me, is a useful reminder that no matter where I am, I can, and must, get it done.”
What’s in Gabby’s Bag: The Essentials
Gabby shares the everyday essentials she keeps in her bag to help her stay feeling her best during busy, on-the-go days. Keeping a few simple items with her at all times helps her stay prepared for long travel days, back-to-back commitments and moments when routines aren’t possible.
Inside her handbag, she typically carries quick snacks such as nuts or protein bars, a water bottle, chewing gum and other snacks such as rice cakes. A portable fan is another non-negotiable as well as resistance bands to help her stay active wherever she is.
Gabby Logan comments: “When I’m out all day, having a few simple things with me really helps. It means I can stay more balanced and not feeling like I’m constantly running on empty.”
Melissa Cohen, Head of Nutrition at Vitabiotics Menopace, adds: “Busy schedules can be challenging during midlife, but small, consistent habits can help keep nutrition and wellbeing a priority. Menopace Max provides daily comprehensive nutritional support for women, including magnesium to support normal muscle function and calcium to support normal bones. Plus thiamin to support normal heart function and vitamin B12 to support the normal function of the nervous system, helping to support overall wellbeing as part of a balanced lifestyle.
“Practical, on-the-go choices can also make a real difference to energy and routine during the day. Keeping simple, balanced snacks and hydration options close at hand can help avoid energy dips and rushed food decisions.”
