I lost all desire to exercise which was very unusual for me as I had been very active my entire life. Craving and eating sugar like cookies and chocolate. Again, so not my normal diet.
And then there was the brain fog and memory. Literally stopping halfway through a sentence because I couldn’t think of the word I wanted to say. Walking into rooms and standing at the doorway wracking my brain trying to remember why I had walked in there.
I woke up one morning and could barely walk. Literally overnight I was crippled with what would normally be diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. And most likely prescribed expensive orthotics for my shoes which wouldn’t have helped. Hint, if you are experiencing this, it’s your hormones. And once you fix this the pain goes away. Along with all the other achy joints.
The irony is I had already been working as a Naturopath and Mind-Body practitioner for over 20 years when all this happened. And even with all that training and professional experience I was shocked at how poorly equipped I was to traverse this new journey. Hard to believe that as a health professional I had not been correctly educated about this life transition.
This led to hundreds of hours of extra research, further education and a lot of trial and error.
But you know what? It was actually worth it.
I can now happily say that I understand the complexity of this midlife transition and am so passionate about educating, guiding and helping other women to take back control of their body, health and life again.
It is 100% doable and I'd be honoured to show you how.
