When perimenopause arrived, the training and knowledge I'd trusted for years simply stopped working, so I rebuilt my approach from the science up.

In just a few weeks, I've noticed significant improvements physically and mentally — I feel stronger, my posture has improved, and I'm more connected to my body.

Questions, answered

How do I take PausePower?

Take 3 to 5g a day, at any time, with or without food. Mix it into water, coffee, a protein shake or a smoothie. You don't need a loading phase, and consistency matters more than timing.

Is creatine right for me?

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, or you take regular medication, check with your GP before you start.

Is the course live?

No. The lessons are self-paced videos you watch whenever suits you, with a private WhatsApp community for questions and support. There are no live calls to attend.

When does the course start, and how long do I have access?

The founding cohort starts on Monday 12 October, with a new module each week for six weeks. You keep lifetime access, so you can go at your own pace and come back any time.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. A payment plan of 2 × £149 is available for the course. Email marleen@femvital.co.uk to set it up.

Is this medical advice?

No. Everything here is education and coaching that sits alongside your medical care. Talk to your GP about HRT, medication or any health condition.

Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet. Strong Through Menopause is general education and support, not medical advice. Always consult your GP if you have a health condition, take regular medication, or are unsure.
