The Midlife Method
Perimenopause can feel confusing especially when your sleep, energy, mood, strength, or body composition starts shifting.
The Good News?
Evidence supports that targeted nutrition and supervised strength training can help support symptom management and long-term health through this stage.
At Rebound Health (Success, WA), we’ve partnered with Dr Shy PhD APD (Accredited Practising Dietitian) to deliver The Midlife Method.
Location note: The Midlife Method is delivered across two locations - Exercise Physiology at Rebound Health (Success) and Nutrition with Dr Shy in Aubin Grove. Your booking confirmations will clearly show the address for each session.
What is The Midlife Method?
The Midlife Method is a multidisciplinary diet and exercise program delivered through Rebound Health (Success, WA) and designed specifically for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
It’s a structured 12-week program focused on strength, body composition, and sustainable energy grounded in evidence-based care. If needed, the program can be coordinated with your GP and treating team.
Together, we’ll cut through the noise online and give you clarity, structure, and a plan for this stage of life.

Women concerned about strength, energy, and long-term health
Anyone 40+ wanting a structured blueprint for midlife health going forward
