Fascinating article about why human eggs last roughly 50 years and why understanding their longevity may help embryologists better grade egg quality in assisted reproductive treatments. It has always struck me how limited egg grading is, and now I understand that this area is poorly researched due to legal & testing constraints coupled with a lack of cohesive research.

In human beings, egg cells need to survive for about five decades, much longer than most other cell types – and they may achieve this unusually long lifespan by slowing down their natural cell processes

Hoping to launch my new logo soon. Tell me what you think? What does it communicate to you? Any feedback warmly welcomed.. 🥰 The crane in Chinese culture symbolises longevity (living a healthy and long life), wisdom & spirituality. Cranes are seen as poised and graceful, depicting harmony and enlightenment. 🤍💛❤️

Happy Mother's Day to you all!

If you are not celebrating a special mum in your life today, why not connect with your own 'inner mother' .
What do I mean? I mean take time out to take care of yourself as only the best version of your mother could.
It can be hard to do this. Our lives are busy, we often ignore niggles / warnings. Perhaps our own mothers were not great role models. The reasons can be complex and ongoing, however learning to listen and respond to our body’s needs is a core aspect of good health and longevity.

So start listening to yourself today. What do you need? What is your body - mind - spirit telling you? Is it start eating more nourishing food? Get more and better quality sleep? Find time in your day to rest? Reduce your stress? Get help stopping bad habits? Once you’ve listened; it’s time to act and start your journey to better health and wellbeing. Good Luck!

When I consider how Menopause is often depicted across our media landscape it is very rarely with any serenity or grace. Think hot sweats, anxiety, forgetfulness, panic, mood swings and headaches.

Yet, menopause, a natural transistion from one stage of a woman's life to another, does not have to be characterised by these negative aspects. How we talk about menopause, how we frame it, how we accept it on a personal level, and view it across society can massively impact on our experience of it.

My new midlife programme works to help you on achieve better health and wellbeing by looking at your needs individually, helping any symptoms and niggles and addressing any emotional 'sticking points' and negative held beliefs. Through exercise and nutrition we can work to 'future proof' you for the years ahead.
Let's have a SERENE menopause
