The MyMT™ Kitchen: An oldie, but a goodie … when you adapt the recipe.
Here in Aotearoa/New Zealand there is a cook book that never ages. Founded in 1879, our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers have possibly had copies. It’s called the Edmond’s cookbook and I’ve had various copies over the years. Some get thrown out because the pages bear the marks of spilt flour and baking mix, making the […]

Losing your Christmas Cheer may be more than just end-of-year exhaustion.
I still remember the Christmas when I went into peri-menopause. It’s usually a time of year I love, but back then, all I could think to myself, was ‘I really can’t be bothered. I have no motivation for Christmas cheer‘. With no energy for shopping, no motivation for social events and feeling conscious about how overweight […]
New Research: How do our partners cope with our menopause changes?
‘Do most marraiges end during our menopause years? (Apparently yes they do!) and ‘How do I get my husband to understand menopause?’ (Education!) – according to google, these are the two most frequently asked questions in relation to partner/ spouse’s reactions to menopause. I was thinking about this very topic last week. Margo and Errol […]
