Our Story

Active Menopause was born out of a genuine desire to help those going through the Menopause.

​

A few words from the Founder, Janette Cardy;

​

I have always been fit and healthy until I turned 40. 

I suffered Graves Disease and 2 serious strokes.

I was left unable to speak not much more than a whisper.

I had to have speech therapy and relearn basic skills that I had always taken for granted. 

During this time I set myself some goals :

1. to continue my fitness company 

2. to compete for GB and win a medal at Europeans or Worlds (age group)

 

I achieved both but it wasn't easy. 

 

The next time I felt "lost" was aged 50.

I was starting to doubt myself, I had lost my mojo and was lacking a lot of confidence. I knew I was perimenopausal. 

 

I reached out to my Doctors and was told due to the medication I was on for the thyroid I could not go on HRT.

I researched it and went back numerous times with the same outcome. I was then referred to a specialist and was told with the strokes I had suffered, I COULD go on HRT. 

 

I sat in the car and cried. 

I finally felt listened to. 

 

I went back to the GP and with the support of the specialist was finally put on HRT. 

Within weeks I started to find myself again. 

 

This is the reason I have set up Active Menopause Life;

to help you to navigate your way through menopause with support, guidance and professional coaching.

 

I have over 25 years of experience and expertise in the fitness industry and have helped thousands of women to feel body positive. 

 

Active Menopause Life combines fitness with nutrition and mindset support. 

It is designed to help you to feel fitter, healthier and mentally stronger. 

Helping you to thrive during the menopause. 

 

You are NOT alone.
