“I wasn’t exercising due to pain, but now I’m back walking every day!”
Such wonderful words from Sharon in Australia to inspire you not to give up on your changing health, especially your joint health, as you move through menopause. “I joined the program during the first lockdown here in Australia, with 4 kg of extra weight, high cholesterol and hip pain in both hips.

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

Why social connection matters to your health as you age.
This painting of Queenstown’s Four Seasons that was in the stairwell of the Event Centre where I held my live-event this week was stunning.
