Mastering the Menopause: A Journey of Strength, Wellbeing and Supplementation

Embracing fitness and smart supplementation can yield remarkable results, even post-menopause when maintaining physical health is more challenging. Regular exercise and a balanced diet with essential supplements can counteract menopausal symptoms and support well being. 

As Dr. Miriam Nelson states, "Regular exercise and proper nutrition are crucial, not only for maintaining health but also for improving quality of life during and after menopause."

Take Awesome Ambassador Davina Mee, for example. At 52 Davina exemplifies how dedication to fitness and smart supplementation has led her to impressive results, even after going through the menopause. Her commitment to maintaining both mental and physical health drives her to train for strength and overall well being.

Embracing the Outdoors and Hybrid Training

Davina's passion for the outdoors sees her regularly cycling and walking, activities that tick the box for both enjoyment and fitness. She has also discovered a love for hybrid training, particularly Deka and Hyrox events. These high-intensity workouts that prepare you for such events offer a dynamic challenge, perfectly suited to her energetic lifestyle.

Competing in Hyrox

Last November, Davina took part in her first singles Hyrox competition and found the experience exhilarating. The thrill of competition and the sense of achievement it brought inspired her to sign up again for this year.

Discovering Awesome Supplements

Davina's fitness journey was significantly enhanced when she started incorporating Awesome Hydrate into her regime. The benefits were so compelling that she soon began trying other products from Awesome Supplements, including Joints and Omega 3. However, the real game-changer for her has been Power, our creatine and beta-alanine blend you take daily to power high intensity training.

"I’ve really noticed a difference in my energy levels in everyday life and my training. When I feel as though I’m flagging, I can now push that little bit harder and not give up! I cycled my first Ride London 100 miles yesterday and overtook so many people on the hills! I’m convinced that’s due to the Hydrate and Creatine supplements."

Transformative Results

The improvements Davina has experienced are not just about enhanced energy levels. The support from these supplements has allowed her to push through challenging workouts and reach new heights in her fitness journey. Her success in completing the Ride London 100-mile bike ride and overtaking many on the hills is a testament to the power of proper supplementation combined with consistent training.

A Strong Recommendation

Davina's positive experience with Awesome Supplements has led her to wholeheartedly recommend these products. "I totally recommend giving any of the products a try and I promise you’ll be subscribing before you know it."

We took five minutes to catch up with Davina about her training and how supplementation has helped with her goals.

Before using Awesome Supplements, were you using any other supplements? Yes, I was taking athletic greens daily, vitamin D3 and K2 drops. They helped with my energy and mood.

Were you struggling with anything training/health-wise, and how did the supplements help? Postmenopausal joint pain, mainly in my knees. Awesome Joints capsules have helped a lot, and Awesome Power improved my energy and reduced fatigue during hybrid training.

How much training do you do a week? I run 8 classes weekly, including studio cycling and kettlebells. I also teach falls prevention for older adults and train in Hyrox and Deka sessions.

What inspired you to do Hyrox? I wanted a new challenge after CrossFit. My gym's Hyrox sessions got me hooked, and I loved my first competition last November.

What advice would you give to those over 50 looking to stay fit? Keep moving! Find activities you love to stay motivated. Exercise helps with bone strength and managing menopausal symptoms. I also recommend giving up alcohol for better sleep and consistent workouts.
