Hi, i’m Ilze. I’m learning, exploring and sharing evidence-based ways to help women over 50 feel stronger, healthier and more confident through menopause and beyond.
Like many women, I spent years putting everyone else first.
When I turned 50, I realised it was finally time to look after myself. This website is where I share my journey through perimenopause, menopause and healthy ageing, alongside everything I’m learning about fitness, nutrition, yoga and finding joy again.
At 50, I decided to invest in my health and create a new chapter in my life. I’m documenting my journey through evidence-based nutrition, movement, yoga, wellbeing and the little habits that make a big difference. I hope what I learn helps you build your own healthier, happier future.
