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. For every study that says that there is a correlation between low vitamin D and symptoms such as nerve pain, muscle aches and pains and of course, osteopenia (changes to bone mineral content that eventually may lead to osteoporosis), there are other studies that […]
The link between your lifestyle and the severity of symptoms in menopause.
I didn’t know where Yazd was until I read the research article. But smack in the middle of Iran lies Yzad province. Somewhere in this province is the Shahid Sadoughi University and over the past year or so, within the Faculty of Medicine and School of Public Health, there has been some wonderful research being […]
Is your overactive bladder keeping you awake in the night?
It wasn’t just hot flashes and night sweats that were waking up Romany night after night – it was needing to pee as well. I know that menopause and frequent urination affects many of you too.

New Research: How do our partners cope with our menopause changes?

I was thinking about this very topic last week. Margo and Errol […]

I bought his book just last week. Journalist James Nestor’s new book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, has hit the New York Times best-seller list. Since reading it, I’m reminded that possibly for decades, my breathing hasn’t been the greatest … so, what about you? Is your breathing something you even consider […]
Pass (up) the butter: How naturally occurring hormones in food could spike your menopause symptoms
She was sitting in the front row of one of my UK seminars a couple of years ago. It was a bit distracting having her there because I could tell from her folded arms and her body language that she was grumpy. She looked very trim and fit but quite young (as in around 40ísh). […]
“Nobody talks about it at work, although we are probably all thinking about it.” Working Women, Workplaces and Menopause
“When my mum was in her 50’s she gave up working. I can’t do that though. I need to keep working as long as I can. It is quite tiring and stressful though, then menopause on top of that, makes it tough. Nobody talks about menopause at work, though we are all probably thinking about […]
The best beverage in menopause – for more reasons than you think.
If you’re feeling hotter as you move through your menopause transition, then I’m not surprised – especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment. Canada and parts of the US Pacific Northwest are sweltering and 2020 was announced as the warmest on record from the EU earth observation service. My heart goes […]
