It wasn't that long ago that I felt overweight, exhausted and unhappy when I looked in the mirror.  As I got older the weight slowly crept on and my metabolism seemed really sluggish. My digestion was pretty bad and it almost felt like I would put weight on when I looked at food.

Reality is, as women age and experience perimenopause and menopause, issues such as belly fat and weight gain is very normal.

In my case, add years of stress, adrenal fatigue and lupus on top of that. So needless to say I struggled.  At one point I said 'enough is enough' and decided to do something about it at aged 50.  I knew I needed to make some changes, lose weight and get healthier.

In 5.5 months I lost 23kg/50lbs and i'm keeping that weight off now. There were 6 main things I did:  1) Started clean eating 2) Introduced intermittent fasting 3) Drank a lot more water 4) Exercised 5) Slept more and 6) Found natural supplements to fuel my body and heal my gut with essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients, prebiotics, probiotics and phytobiotics that I was missing as well as assist me in fat burning and natural energy.
