MyMT™ Education: Telomeres, exercise, menopause and the anti-ageing benefits of betaine.
During the past few decades, numerous ageing and health studies have emerged discussing the link between lifestyle factors, inflammation and telomere dysfunction. The tiny ‘hard-hat’s on the ends of human DNA, that control how rapidly we age. Telomere’s become shorter with age and age-related diseases. We all know that much attention is given to midlife […]
Is Eating a High Protein Diet Bad For Your Arteries?
It took me a long time to understand why my menopause hot flushes were getting worse, despite the HRT, and why my weight was increasing, despite the daily exercise, including weight training. Protein consumed in excess of need, does not always promote muscle development. Amino acids left over in the body, i.e. excess to requirement […]

I could see her struggling to walk along the corridor as I disembarked the plane on the long-haul flight between the United Kingdom and New Zealand recently.

MyMT™ Education: Understanding Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
I’ve just returned from presenting at the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine conference in the UK. Sitting in on a session by Dr Darota Komar, who is a specialist in Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals, was a reminder about how harmful these can be to the functioning of the HPA-Thyroid Axis.

Fatigue, post-menopause and your ageing gallbladder: Even if you don’t have one, focus on these foods.
We never gave their nutrition, nor menopause, a thought. It was the 1980s and as a young nurse, I was working on the surgical ward before moving to the ICU. The four-bed rooms were full of middle-aged women waiting for a cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal). “Fair, Fat and Fifty” was the term that the Consultant […]
