I am 43 years old, and I have been living in Hong Kong for 13 years. I was caught up in the hustle and bustle of life—the stress, the hormonal shifts, and a cycle where I simply told myself, “This is just how things are, and this is how they’ll stay.”

But one day, I asked myself: “Am I actually going to take control of my body and my life?”

My answer was a resounding YES.

Along the way, I lost 34 kilograms. But this isn’t just a weight-loss story; it was a journey of rebuilding my cells, my sleep, my energy, my nutrition, and my mindset. I’ve discovered firsthand that your 40s don’t have to be a decline—in fact, they can be the most powerful, wisest, and fittest phase of a woman’s life.

Now, I combine this personal transformation with the scientific training I’ve received in Menopause Wellness Coaching from Girls Gone Strong (GGS) and the Centre of Excellence.

That is exactly why I founded @menoyasam.
