I said that statement above to my husband this morning – “You know all I wished for in my early 50’s was to sleep all night and lose the weight that exercise and dieting wasn’t shifting.” We were out walking to the local produce shop during Week 6 of lock-down here in New Zealand and […]

I quite like having to remove my shoes at a wedding. When you are in menopause or post-menopause itâs very cooling. Did you know that we have hundreds of nerve endings and tiny blood vessels in the soles of our feet that are part of our ancient cooling mechanism? Itâs the same with the palms […]
