Water Trough Le Chable

When you walk through the small alpine village of Le Chable in Switzerland, you pass a number of ancient water troughs. Today, whilst out walking in this beautiful village, I filled up my water bottle from this water trough in the photo – yes the water is safe to drink and some of the best […]

“Shaping your future years – what a great coaching post. I’m back in Japan and now feel amazing. Thank you for your research.” [Tracy, Japan]

“Shaping your future – what a great post” wrote Tracy in the MyMTℱ Coaching Group. Leaving Australia behind to fulfil her dream of running a ski-lodge in Japan with hubbie was finally happening. They had done this years ago, but settled in Australia to put the children through school. The trouble was, when menopause arrived, her […]

VIDEO: Keep the Kegels! Restore your Core and Pelvic Floor with MyMTℱ Rebuild My Fitness 12 week Programme.

Who knew that there were oestrogen receptors in our pelvic floor muscles? Did you? Or did you realise when you felt your stress incontinence becoming worse when you arrived in your 50’s?

“I’m now sleeping and the visceral fat is dropping. Apparently, I’m younger too!” [Helene, Scotland]

There isn’t a lot of emphasis on exercise in the Transform Me weight loss programme.

They were sitting in the front row of the seminar on Tuesday night. I was in Melbourne taking my last seminar for a few weeks. I saw them all look at each other after my comment – “The ladies on my programme know that I don’t want them to do too much high intensity exercise […]

What women in menopause can learn from London Bus conductors

Tottenham Court Road is full of London’s iconic red double-decker buses. These buses are very modern now – very different from the old buses that frequented London’s inner roads in the 1950’s. As I pass them, I look to see if they have the spiral stairs that take passengers up to the top deck and […]

VIDEO: Meet Wendy Sweet as she tells you about her revolutionary and refreshing approach to control of menopause symptoms.

Why do we have so many symptoms that impact on how we feel during our menopause transition? Why do we all need to suddenly take supplements and medicines when we’ve been healthy all our lives?  Why can’t we sleep? Why can’t we tolerate doing the exercise that we love to do? WHY? WHY? WHY? What […]

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. My legs were getting thinner, but my belly was getting bigger. Dangerously bigger. I knew it wasn’t good for my heart health and it was sending me down the slippery […]
