Dr. Margot Darragh obtained her PhD in health psychology ten years ago, after a longtime interest in both health and psychology.

Health psychology considers how the way we think, feel, and behave affects our physical health. How our thoughts impact our stress response, how our immune system can be influenced by our emotions, and how our behaviors impact our overall health.

In Four for Forty, she has applied her science and research background plus information she's absorbed over the years to provide an easy-to-adopt, four step approach to reversing perimenopausal weight gain.

Dr. Darragh lives in Auckland, New Zealand, working for a tertiary institute and writing fiction in her spare time.
