“I feel so empowered in helping women get the right lifestyle information for menopause.”
Today I presented on menopause to nutrition / dietetics undergraduate students and staff at the Nutritional Science department at University College Cork (my Alma Mater).

MyMT™ Education: Understanding the ageing bladder in menopause.
I know that menopause and frequent urination, especially during the early morning hours of the night, affects many of your clients.

MyMT™ Education: Symptoms that aren’t related to Menopause – Burning Tongue Syndrome
It’s not often that someone in my own private coaching group, doesn’t bring up a symptom that they didn’t think was a symptom of menopause!

MyMT™ Education: Exercise Behaviour Change – Supporting active ageing for women.
‘Adopting healthy behaviours implies a multitude of challenges for individuals and unfortunately, medical advice and prescriptions do not guarantee lifestyle changes,’ mentions research out of Spain, calling for a greater alliance between Clinicians and Health Professionals, especially when it comes to women’s exercise in the menopause transition and of course, exercise adherence.

MyMT™ Education: Does daily stress cause liver problems for women in menopause?
The liver is a curious organ – especially as women transition menopause.

MyMT™ Education: Is low selenium intake making menopause fatigue worse for your clients?
Apparently, there is no region of the South Island in New Zealand, that has high levels of selenium occurring naturally in soils. Russia is the same, as is China, Scandinavia and other parts of the world, including some parts of Australia. The low values around the world are related to the nature of the rocks […]
MyMT™ Education: The life-long impact of coffee and tea consumption on cardiac health in mid-life.
When did you have your first cup of filtered coffee? Do you remember? I do. It was in the early 1980’s. Someone had purchased a flash new coffee filter machine for the ICU staff room. Thinking back, maybe it was our wonderful new American Charge Nurse. She got most of us young nurses up to […]
MyMT™ Education: Supplements and Alternative Therapies for Menopause Hot Flushes – what works, what doesn’t.
The emails arrive in my in-box every week – women wanting to know if I promote supplements for menopause – [no I don’t, because I’m not a Naturopath] – or asking why they are still getting hot flushes, anxiety and insomnia, even though they are taking a variety of menopause supplements. This was me as […]
MyMT™ Education: A spotlight on gut health from peri- to post-menopause.
Every week in my newsletters I try to come up with a topic that I hope will not only interest you, but help you continue your problem-solving conversations with your midlife clients.

MyMT™ Education: Foods that shift storage fat to metabolically-active ‘burning’ fat.
If there were some foods that you could help your clients incorporate into their daily food intake, that contained compounds to help them change unhealthy white fat and turn this to highly metabolic brown fat, would they eat them?
