Is it Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome or Menopause or Both?
If you were to pull out a blank piece of paper and list all the factors that drain your energy in a day or week, I wonder what would be on that list? From doing too much (or too little) exercise to your constantly busy-brain to menstrual blood losses to looking at your computer screen […]
“It’s funny what you said about why I have to eat more food because I do weight training. I now understand why my energy was low!” [Julie, NZ]
When I founded the New Zealand personal training industry in the early 1990’s, I never imagined that I would, one day, be guiding some of New Zealand’s leading Personal Trainers through menopause.

Why your gut health changes during your menopause transition.
Every Wednesday I come up with a topic that I hope will interest you – perhaps something that you haven’t associated with how you are feeling now that you are going through your menopause transition, or you are in post-menopause.

(Yes, that’s her real name!). So, here they both are on […]
“I feel so much more positive about myself now. I’ve lost 30kg and my joints are so much better as is my energy.” [Linda, NZ]
It’s taken a year and at first, Linda took her time to get underway on the MyMT™ Transform Me programme. Disillusioned with so many other strategies for losing weight, she now understands that none of the other programmes she tried were specialising in her changing heart health and metabolism as she moved into post-menopause. “I’ve done […]
Why you need to boost your aerobic exercise during menopause and beyond.
The image above is Kaye. Previously living in Cairns, Australia, she now lives in New Zealand and this photo was taken when she ran her very first marathon.

Wild Yams for Post-Menopause Hot Flushes – what the science says.
