A word from your Coach!

The purpose of the MyMT™ lifestyle change programs is 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 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 the 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. Many of these

studies have focussed on longevity and healthy ageing through disease prevention and at the core

of these studies are these three aspects of our daily nutrition:

1. Vegetables – colourful and plentiful
2. Protein in the form of fish, chicken, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes (very little red meat

and dairy products)
3. Low glycemic index carbohydrates that sustain energy, such as kumara, brown rice and very

little processed foods.

4. Fats which are plant based e.g. avocado, coconut and nuts and a little bit of fat derived
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.

Mainly, you want a plant-based diet with lots of greens and carbohydrates that are not
processed, are very low or no sugar, and are sustaining you with longer-lasting ENERGY. You

also want healthy fats and powerful plant proteins.
