From burning tongue to skin changes: Symptoms that you don’t think are related to Menopause!

We’ve been discussing them in my private coaching group over the past week – symptoms that we didn’t associate with our menopause and our ageing. From burning tongue syndrome to skin changes to gastro-oesophageal reflux to tingling feelings in the arms and legs … many of these symptoms seem to arrive in midlife or post-menopause […]

Use the power of sunlight to improve your mental and immune health during menopause.

The discussions from women on my coaching programmes who live in the Northern Hemisphere are interesting. I even have one lady who works up in the Arctic Circle – with very little sunlight up there during the winter months and because she is moving through menopause, she didn’t realise her vulnerability with her mental and […]

Video: Will this vital Vitamin help your symptom chaos during menopause?

The role of Vitamin D on women’s menopause symptoms is controversial.

New Research: A step in time – how walking programmes help your menopause symptoms.

Our late Queen Elizabeth II was a great walker. I know this because the internet is full of images of her out walking when in residence at Balmoral Estate in Scotland.

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 […]

Relief for your tender breasts during menopause.

“I have to wear three bras to go for a run – my breasts have got so big and sore!” she cried as she left a message on my phone. “They’ve never been this big in my life and I hate how it’s uncomfortable to run. It’s really impacting on training my clients.”  My personal […]

Lower your blood pressure in menopause in a way you never expected.

 so, what about you? Is your breathing something you even consider […]
