Julie Robinson has spent her career helping women to stay active and healthy. Formerly a PE teacher, she ran a women’s dance and fitness club before establishing Move It or Lose It, an award-winning training company helping older people to enjoy active, happier lives. She then went on to create Menohealth a unique, endorsed programme that empowers women to take control of menopause.
Julie’s passion for her work is born out of her own experience of having a hysterectomy aged 36 in 1996. By the age of 40, Julie was in early menopause but there was no support or information available, and she just had to put up with the various symptoms. When looking for advice on exercise, wellness and protecting bone health after this experience, Julie realised there was very little out there to help and support women like her.
“I advocate a combination of exercise, good nutrition and community support and am always keeping an eye out for natural therapies that I can trust and recommend to my members. When I came across Marodyne LiV I was intrigued but couldn’t hand-on-heart recommend it until I’d tried it myself.”
Julie enjoys the sensation of the Marodyne LiV and uses it each day to complement her regular fitness routine. “I find the gentle vibrations very pleasant, and the 10 minutes go quickly. I’m always on the go and busy, so I like the fact that the Marodyne LiV makes me stand still for a while – but I can still check emails or answer messages while using it.”
“I like the idea of doing something good for your bones each day and regular use of the device keeps your bone health top-of-mind.”
“At the moment, I’m fit and well for my age but am not complacent. I’m using Marodyne LiV to protect my bone health and can see myself using it long into the future to support my bones as I age.”
