Heart and Brain Health forWomen Over 50

Helping women in their 50s prevent stroke, heart disease and memory loss and achieve a healthy weight through sustainable lifestyle changes

Hi, I’m Christine Okafor-Mawdsley


I help women in their 50s improve their heart and brain health so that they can enjoy more energy, a sharper memory, and a longer, healthier life.

Are you a woman in your 50s and experiencing any of the following?

  • Difficulty losing weight or keeping it off

  • Struggling with memory loss and forgetfulness that’s getting worse over time

  • Brain fog, trouble focusing, or feeling mentally sluggish during the day

  • Constant low energy or daily fatigue

  • High blood pressure

  • High cholesterol

  • Type 2 diabetes

I can help.

As a woman in my 50s and after reversing my own prediabetes, high cholesterol, and early-stage kidney disease, I became passionate about helping others take control of their health before things get serious.

My approach blends lifestyle changes with down-to-earth coaching. Together, we focus on small, meaningful changes that help you:

  • Lose weight in ways that support both your heart and brain health

  • Naturally balance your blood sugar levels

  • Boost your focus, memory, and energy

  • Lower your long-term risk of stroke, heart disease, and vascular dementia - the second most common form of dementia

I work 1:1 with you in a personalised programme designed to transform your health not just for the duration of the programme, but with tools you can use for rest of your life.

If a parent’s stroke, heart attack, or memory decline has you wondering what lies ahead for you, you don’t have to follow the same path. I’ll help you change the story
Together, we’ll build a plan that supports your heart, sharpens your mind, and gives you peace of mind.

As a pharmacist turned Health Coach, I bring over 30 years of healthcare experience, combining science-backed knowledge with a passion for helping people improve their heart and brain health. This unique background allows me to offer a holistic, personalised approach to long-term wellness.

Through my coaching, I’ll guide you in adopting smart, sustainable habits that support your health goals so you can thrive well into the future.

Let’s work together to reduce your risk, restore your energy, and help you live your healthiest, longest life.

Are you...

  • Tired of trying diets or healthy eating plans that don’t work long-term

  • Battling low energy, brain fog, or food cravings that derail your day?

  • Finding it hard to stay active or fit movement into your day?

  • Struggling to stay consistent with healthy habits?

  • Worried about how to protect your brain, or heart from further damage

  • Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or not sleeping well, and unsure how it’s affecting your health?

If any of these sound familiar, I understand how frustrating and overwhelming it can be and I’m here to help you take back control of your health.

“Discover the power of health”

Imagine reclaiming your health, restoring your energy, and protecting your brain and heart starting today.

That possibility is real. With simple, sustainable lifestyle changes, you can prevent or slow the progression of serious conditions like stroke, vascular dementia, and heart disease

  • But what could this truly mean for you?

    ✔️ More energy and fewer crashes so you can enjoy your day without exhaustion

    ✔️ Finding a natural balance with your weight, no more extreme, restrictive diets or food guilt.

    ✔️ Feeling in control of your health and peace of mind knowing you’re actively protecting your brain, reducing your risk of stroke and

    memory loss, and letting go of fear about the future.

    ✔️ Improved mood, less anxiety, and a clearer, sharper mind free from brain fog

    ✔️ Restful, restorative sleep that leaves you refreshed

    ✔️ Strength, mobility, and confidence in your body again

    ✔️ A healthier future, not just for you, but for the people who rely on you

    ✔️ Longer life expectancy, with greater quality of life and more time to spend with your family

I’m ready to help you achieve this: This is about more than managing a condition it’s about taking

charge of your future.

And I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
