Learn why your menopause bloating, weight gain and hot flushes are connected.

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.

Why Natalie Joyce’s “revenge body” wasn’t the real story – it was the role her Personal Trainer played in her support.

Self-identity is a curious thing.

But it wasn’t the political debates I was reading, it was […]

Lose your stubborn menopause belly-fat and you’ll reduce your hot flushes too. Women on the MyMT™ 12 week Transform Me programme call it ‘life-changing’ – as I did too.

If you are as frustrated by your mid-life belly fat and continual hot flushes as I was, then do you know that the two are related?
