Hi, i'm Helen and I help women 45+ with menopause
and hormone harmony. I've lost 23kg/50lbs in 5.5 months and reversed my metabolic age (how my metabolism functions) from a 58 year old to a 49 year old, which is younger than I actually am. I'm 53 and feel better now than I have in years!
I am a big believer in natural health solutions rather than prescription drugs

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, for women in their 40's and 50's who experience perimenopause and menopause, 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 7 main things I did: 1) Started clean eating 2) Introduced intermittent fasting 3) Drank a lot more water 4) Exercised 5) Slept more 6) Took a natural Gut/Hormone Protocol to balance my Gut Health & Hormones and 7) Lowered my Stress Hormone (Cortisol).
What I've learned about the importance of our Gut Health to balance our Hormones is fascinating. I'm actually currently studying to be a Mental Wellness Coach as well as a Menopause Specialist.

As discussed in the Video, here's further information on the Gut/Hormone Balancing Protocol that I use called 'Happy Juice'. The three products that make up 'HAPPY JUICE' are called 1) Mentabiotics, 2) Edge and 3) Energy +
Here's an explanation of each one:
1. MENTABIOTICS
Lowers Cortisol & Supports the Gut-Brain-Hormone Connection:
• Contains clinically studied probiotics that help lower cortisol and improve stress response.
• Increases dopamine (motivation) and serotonin (mood stability) to reduce PMS anxiety and cravings.
• Supports GABA production for better sleep, stress management, and nervous system relaxation.
• A healthy gut improves insulin sensitivity, reducing blood sugar crashes
2. EDGE
Balances Blood Sugar & Lowers PMS-Related Inflammation:
• Helps regulate insulin and prevent blood sugar spikes (reducing cravings, mood swings, and weight gain).
• Lowers oxidative stress and inflammation, which contribute to PMS, bloating, and painful periods.
• Provides polyphenols (Mango Leaf, Lychee, Palm Fruit) that support energy, metabolism, and hormone production.
3. ENERGY+
Protects Adrenals & Prevents Hormone Burnout:
• Supports adrenal health, helping to prevent the cortisol-progesterone block (when high cortisol suppresses progesterone production).
• Keeps cortisol stable, preventing hormone-related energy crashes.
• Provides clean energy without caffeine jitters or blood sugar spikes.
For me, I prefer to look for natural solutions for my health issues. Plant based options are my preference. Prescription medications definitely have their place in the world, but they can be very harsh on our gut and body. We must pay closer attention to our gut health and nourish our gut with good prebiotics, probiotcs and phytobitoics.
Unfortunately I also have skin issues due to using a steroid based medication for over 20 years. So not only am I now nourishing the microbiome of my gut, i'm also nourishing the microbiome of my scalp (I bet you didn't even know there was such a thing?) and the microbiome of my skin through Neurocosmetic Skin Care.
I've also come to learn that the foods we eat in this modern world, lack many of the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients that we need for optimal health, so we need natural supplements to fill that void. We can't get everything we need unless we supplement.
Further, as we navigate all the challenges of Perimenopause and Menopause, we have to balance our hormones, particularly cortisol. If we don't balance our hormones and nourish our gut/brain connection, we end up putting on excess weight, unwanted belly fat and struggling mentally.
