Will fasting help to reverse your changing metabolic health in post-menopause?
In September, 1982, the National Cancer Institute in America said, “Changing the way we eat could offer some protection against cancer.” A year later in 1983, the American Cancer Society stated its belief that “a greater use of fruit and vegetables can significantly reduce a risk of developing cancer.” At a similar time, over 30 years […]
MyMT™ Education: Why gut health matters for your clients on menopause-related anti-depressants.
2/3 of those on antidepressants in the UK, NZ and Australia are female, and typically in their 50s and 60s. Why is depression so prevalent in women? This was a question posed by researchers in Canada (Albert, 2015) and one that I have often thought about too. But not just any women – those in […]

The MyMT™ KITCHEN: A Sardinian Hummus recipe to satisfy all the family.
The role of a mother is a complex one. If many of us knew what we know now, perhaps we might do things differently. I often think about what I know now about hormonal health and what I perhaps could have been doing differently when my daughter was going through puberty. As a young, competitive […]
