About this course
Welcome to our Midlife Wellness Reboot Program. Midlife is a great time to take stock of our personal health and general well-being. Lots of things can be changing and menopause is often a catalyst for us to re-evaluate how we look after ourselves. Menopause symptoms can be an early warning that we may need to make changes if we want to live well long-term. Now is the time to invest in great nutrition, effective exercise habits and good mental health so we can thrive through midlife and beyond.
In this program we'll be showing you how to achieve optimal wellness in the following specialist workshops with our wonderful Magnificent Midlife experts:
Welcome to the menopause workshop! This workshop is all about the change that happens to us all in midlife, the good, the bad, and the rather marvelous.
Disclaimer: Rachel is not a medical practitioner but has spent the last decade learning about menopause since going through it early at 41, so she knows quite a lot. While she went on HRT because of early menopause, she came off it at 50. She's a big fan of managing menopause naturally when possible, so this is the main focus of this workshop. Do consult your doctor if in any doubt!

It's hard to feel good if you haven't got your diet sorted. In this workshop we take a deep dive on what to eat to keep us healthy long-term.
There’s so much conflicting information about what we should and shouldn’t eat at any stage of life but particularly as we go through midlife and beyond. So we thought it would be super cool to talk to an expert.
We’ve worked with Wanda Briggs, a Nutrition Therapist on this workshop and Wanda has so many great things to say about what the best diet looks like both through menopause and beyond.

Our livers often come under a lot of pressure particularly in midlife. How can we use food and lifestyle changes to support hormonal fluctuations and most importantly to support the work our liver does at this time of transformation?
Nutritionist Louise Carr specializes in helping women answer these questions, so we can invest in our health now and enjoy long-term health in the future. If we look after our livers well in midlife, we are going to have a much easier time as we progress through perimenopause and post menopause too.

Staying or getting fit is consistently the top or second issue for women in midlife and beyond in our surveys. And most of us know we need to work harder at getting enough exercise as we age, not less. Not just to keep the midlife spread from increasing but because our bodies need movement and our bones and muscles need to be exercised if they are to carry us well into later life. But getting enough exercise and movement can be hard to fit into our daily lives right? Well not any more! In this workshop you’re going to learn all about how to get and keep movement in your daily life and exactly what you can do to make that happen. And it isn’t at all hard!
We’ve worked with movement coach (and author, filmmaker and photographer) Dr Julie Angel on this highly motivational and practical workshop.
