New Research: Your belly-fat in post-menopause … and why you shouldn’t just blame your hormones.
Have you ever wondered why so many women put on belly-fat as they move through menopause into post-menopause? This so confused me at the time.

Hi Everyone – how exciting – a new royal baby this week, and the start of a new life for the beautiful Royal couple, The Sussexes. It’s such an exciting and nervous time when there is a new baby. And how little we knew when many of us had our own children. Research wasn’t available […]
Thank you Palmerston North & how wonderful to meet Debb who told me, “I was lost, but now I’m back.”

Working shifts and in menopause? Then let’s have a chat about your Vitamin D levels.
Anzac Day in New Zealand and Australia is an historical tribute to all who have fought for our freedom, but whilst I was listening to the services on the radio, I was a bit put-out. Not one mention of the wonderful nurses who worked tirelessly during each World War caring for soldiers and supporting the […]

Discover why your increased anxiety is not just about your changing hormones in menopause.
We’ve been talking about anxiety this week in my coaching groups and I asked the women on the MyMT programmes a question. It was this: ‘If I sat you down right now with a blank piece of paper and said to you, “What causes you to feel anxious?” what would you write down on the […]
