    Beyond the Scales - A balanced look at Health in Menopause

    Beyond the Scales - A balanced look at Health in Menopause

    How many times have you weighed yourself on the scales one day and then the next day found your weight has gone up or down, simply overnight?



    Many of us have a belief that the scale is the ultimate measure of health and wellness but when it comes to menopause, this couldn't be further from the truth.



    Hormonal changes, water retention, and shifts in body composition can all skew the number on the scale so let's explore why this number is not only misleading but can be downright harmful to our understanding of health during menopause.



    The fixation on the scale can lead to scale anxiety, body image issues, and even disordered eating behaviours. It's a cycle that's tough to break, but it's possible.



    Knowledge is power, and the more we understand about the limitations of the scale, the better equipped we are to take control of our health.



    If you're keen to learn more about this and other important factors in Menopause and how to thrive, join my upcoming FREE online workshop from 20th May - The Secret to Thriving in Menopause without HRT.

    Weight Loss Drugs - Are they Good or Bad?

    There is an obesity crisis around the world and the statistics are concerning. 


    95% of Americans have some kind of metabolic disorder eg; insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes.
    6 in 10 Americans have a chronic disease and 4 in 10 people have more than 1 chronic disease.
    Type 2 diabetes, cardio vascular disease and other chronic conditions continue to rise.
    Over 1 billion people worldwide are classified as obese & over 2 billion are classified as overweight.

    Australia's statistics are much the same.

    quick solution and that these quick solutions are also on the rise?
    But, how safe are they for you? What are the benefits vs the side effects? What do the studies show and do these 'solutions' offer a long-term fix?
    It's a tricky one to navigate in a culture of immediacy so let's dive in to this one together and explore how you can teach your body to be more metabolically flexible.
