Burn menopause fat by helping these cells to do the job they love to do … and why my dog needs to do this too!
Coming back to New Zealand has been an eye-opener. A month in Switzerland in a small ski village and hardly ever, did I see an overweight mid-life woman. Even when I visited the larger cities.
