A word from your Coach!

The purpose of the MyMT™ lifestyle change programmes are for you to enjoy scientifically

evidenced information that helps you to reduce your symptoms and for some of you, your weight.
At the heart of this program, is the fact that we are all in a unique stage of life which just happens

to be the body’s natural transition into the ‘third age’ or our ‘later’ years of our life. Menopause as
you are now discovering, can be the catalyst for hormonal disruption and worsening inflammatory

changes in the body. Many of these inflammatory changes are now recognised as laying the

foundation for poor health as we age. This is why with the research I have undertaken, it makes
sense that we use our menopause transition to reduce the inflammatory changes that occur in our

cells. One of the ways to do this is to enjoy the MyMT™ anti-inflammatory, mainly alkaline, way of
eating. This is well evidenced through the many studies that have been conducted over the years

which focus on women’s health, longevity and essentially, ‘healthy ageing’ through disease

prevention. At the core of these studies are four aspects of daily nutrition for healthy ageing:

1. Eat more Vegetables than fruit – colourful, plentiful and ‘purple pigments’ are best
2. Eat small amounts of Protein 4-5 times a day. This is in the form of fish, chicken, nuts and

seeds, beans and legumes (very little red meat and dairy products)
3. Eat carbohdyrates that don’t spike your blood sugar levels and insulin response. These

are called Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates because they are energy sustaining. Examples

for MyMT™ women include, kumara, brown rice and vegetables which are carbohydrates too!
Eat very little processed foods or products high in sugar.

4. Eat Fats which are plant based rather than animal-based, e.g. avocado, coconut, nuts and
organic olive oil. Eat less fat sourced from animals.

I encourage you to FIND RECIPES that match the two food lists that I have supplied you with in the
‘CIRCUIT-BREAKER’ and ‘TRANSFORM ME’ programs. These lists are also here in our E-Book. In

summary, therefore, you want to consume a (mainly) plant-based diet with lots of greens and

small amounts of plant-based starch carbohydrates with good quality fats and proteins. These
foods help to turn around the inflammation that accumulates in our body during our menopause

transition.
