The Better Beyond 40 Program was a life saver for me!What prompted me to join the program was that I wasn't sleeping, I had no energy, I felt like a foreigner in my own body, I had gained quite a lot of weight that wasn't budging with dieting and exercise that had worked in the past, i was stuck, frustrated, and frankly, scared.I had tried all kinds of diets, intermittent fasting, exercise regimes, nothing was working, and i just felt worse and worse as time went on.I met with Dr. Mary Pines to see if her program would be a fit for me, and found her to be warm, caring, extremely knowledgable about women in menopause and perimenopause. I got a deep feeling that she could help me, so I signed up.Her program addresses all aspects of the changes I was going through, and more. She gave me the tools to take back my life and start feeling better in my body. A lot of the time, it felt counterintuitive, but I trusted her implicitly and I trusted the process. I went in with the mindset that she was the professional here and I was just going to do what I was told, and I am so glad that I did.After completing the program, I feel SO much better. I am still a work in progress, but I know what I need to do to keep trending upward, feeling better and better. The weight is coming off, I'm sleeping, I am even running sprints again, which is a miracle, because before, I could barely drag myself through a walk.I LOVED working with Dr. Mary Pines. I loved her kindness and the connection she makes with each person. I love how smart she is about all of this stuff, she just knows what needs to be done, and by following her instructions, I saw a lot of positive changes in my body and my mind.And, you don't just get Dr. Mary Pines, you get her whole team. A team of people who want the best for you and are looking out for your best interest. People who are here to help move you forward.If you're on the fence, if you think, "maybe it might work for me" I'd encourage you to join the program. I am so glad that I did, and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs help figuring out this weird time in life. Dr. Mary Pines will get you back to yourself.

This program is great! Very holistic and personal. I enjoyed having the opportunity for one on one conversations weekly to receive encouragement, accountability, and answers to my questions. I also loved the mindset piece on top of the lifestyle changes. If you need to feel hopeful, join this program! I feel like I’m back in sync with my body. I finally understand what is going on and how I can align my lifestyle with what my body needs, AND it feels sustainable. I’m seeing real results and my friends and family are noticing too!

Before joining Better Beyond 40, I was dealing with joint pain, dry skin, and stubborn weight gain around my middle. I was exercising and eating what I thought was healthy, but nothing was working, and I didn’t know why.What drew me to BB40 was the science-backed approach. I wanted to understand what was happening in my body, not just follow generic advice. The plan was individualized to my specific needs, which made a big difference. Mary is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely supportive, and the program is clear and well-structured.I look and feel better now, and I understand why things are working. If you’re looking for a program built on research and individualized support, BB40 is worth it. Highly recommend!

I learned SO much from Dr. Mary Pines' Better Beyond 40 program. I signed up to address the symptoms so many women face in perimenopause - brain fog, irritability, poor sleep, weight gain. She digs into all of the science to get to root causes and address them. I've made changes to my approach to diet and exercise, started BHRT and a few new supplements. I'm sleeping better and have more energy. I took over 30 pages of notes while watching her lessons! And I will revisit them often as I continue to navigate this stage of life. I will also come back to the many resources she provided (recipes, exercise guidance, podcasts, etc.) Mary can't prescribe hormones but she put a lot of time into researching options specific to me (even though I don't live near her). Mary is passionate about women's health and helping people understand and thrive during peri/menopause! I strongly recommend her course for anyone looking to gain deep knowledge and insights that can help you live a better life.

When I reached out to Dr. Mary, I was completely overwhelmed and felt like my life had been spiralling out of control for about five years. In the last year alone, I had gained a ton of weight, I couldn’t remember what I was doing half the time, and I felt frustrated and stuck without a plan...and I’m a planner! So frustrating! 🙃 Taking her Better Beyond 40 course gave me the clarity and plan for my future health that nothing else ever did. My energy improved, and I finally understood what my body needed. I haven’t lost much weight yet, but for the first time I feel like I’m on the right track… my body is adjusting, and I’m not guessing anymore. One of the biggest gifts of this program is how it cuts through the perimenopause overload on social media where everyone seems to be an expert telling you what you “should” do and brings everything together in one cohesive, science‑based system. Dr. Mary has a real knack for breaking down the sciency jargon into language you not only understand, but that actually makes sense. She takes a truly individual, holistic approach that looks at your body’s needs, supported by blood analysis and even DNA testing if you choose those options. She shows you how all the interconnected pieces of your health fit together and how her protocols stack in a way that feels doable and logical. The course itself isn’t hard, but making conscious lifestyle changes isn’t easy either. You’ll know when you’re ready and when you are, this program gives you everything you need to make it happen. I also have to say that Dr. Mary was incredibly gracious when life got away from me. Between work, a demanding career, a teen and a preteen in competitive sports, homework, and everything else, I wasn’t able to put in the time I had planned. She gave me extra time++ to complete the course, and that personal understanding meant so much. She’s also recently complemented her team with a mindset coach and a motivational coach, which adds an incredible personal touch and gives you even more support. The level of support is truly unmatched. The only thing I’d tell anyone considering investing in her program is to make sure you can also give it the time it deserves… you’ll get so much out of it. The irony is that the busiest women often need it the most. If you can carve out the space, it’s absolutely worth it. I’m already planning to take her masterclass once I’ve implemented everything I’ve learned… I just have to make sure I have the time hahaha...ha...ha. Thank you Dr. Mary! 🫶 PS: Check out her podcast! 😊https://open.spotify.com/show/32dWsa6BROsuQoBSLWlWFI?si=e14e591e2e314bce

Dr Mary Pines is deeply passionate about the work she does. She matches that with her brilliant mind, an ability to connect deeply with others, and relay a wide range of information with those she works with in her program.Her in-depth background in science, research and critical thinking, coupled with the inclusion of nature, movement and real, nourishing food, is often rare among health professionals.Dr Mary is able to look at blood work and medical tests and also bring a perspective to those she supports in a way that bridges humanity, and alternative choices / options.Dr Mary lives what she teaches and continues to embody, inspire, educate and inform others.For women, there are so many changes happening internally and externally that it’s wonderful to have an ally that supports not only understanding but the ability to feel better beyond 40!

Like many women, I reached a point where I wanted to better understand my hormones and overall health, which is what led me to Dr. Mary Pines’ Beyond 40 program. I’ve had a really positive experience with it.What I appreciated most is that she focuses on helping women actually understand what’s going on in their bodies, rather than just offering quick fixes. The program builds a strong foundation around things like nutrition, strength training, stress management, and hormone health.For me, it was really helpful to see how all of those pieces connect, especially during the hormonal changes that happen after 40. The online program is also very organized and easy to follow, which makes it simple to move through the material at my own pace.One thing that really stood out to me is that Dr. Pines truly lives what she teaches. She brings both extensive medical knowledge and personal experience to the work she does, and it comes across in the way she supports and educates women. I also appreciated that she encourages questions and helps you apply the principles to your own situation rather than treating everyone the same.Overall I found the program to be a really valuable starting point for understanding long-term hormone and metabolic health. If you’re looking to better understand your hormones and build a strong foundation for long-term health, I think this program is a great place to start.
