“If you are a healthy weight or even underweight, if your diet isn’t good and it’s one that’s made up of a lot of carbs and not balanced with fats and proteins you are still at risk from these challenges that insulin causes and you can still be at risk of type 2 diabetes.”
— Nicola Mercer
“There’s so many examples out there right now of women thriving in their fifties or sixties, they’re really embracing life. There’s something so beautiful about this point of our lives when you get past that menopause. The freedom of being more mature, you get to shift your mindset into a woman who has experience of life.”
—Hillary Meisner
