A 55-year-old woman from New Zealand has revealed how a “life-changing” challenge helped her to take control of her life and lose 9kg of “unwanted menopausal weight” that had been holding her back.
Louise, from New Zealand, confessed to feeling “stuck”, before she discovered The Collagen Co and the brand’s 28-Day Shake & Glow Challenge, a structured (and free) program designed to simplify daily routines and support weight loss.
The challenge involves replacing one or two meals a day with a delicious The Collagen Co. Glow Shake that tastes more like a treat than a meal replacement shake, making it easier to stay consistent without feeling restricted.

Just four weeks later, Louise says the results speak for themselves.
Over the course of the challenge, Louise lost 9kg, describing it as finally saying goodbye to “unwanted post-menopausal weight” that had been holding her back.
“I stuck with it. I showed up. Even on the days I truly, deeply couldn’t be bothered,” she said.
“I feel more confident, more in control, and finally back into a routine.”
From improved energy and better sleep, to stronger nails, healthier hair, and clever skin, Louise says the transformation has been both physical and mental.
“I’ve got more energy, fewer excuses, and a much happier version of me,” she said.
“These were clothes I couldn’t even get on before. And now… they fit.”
The challenge itself focuses on replacing one to two meals a day with The Collagen Co.’s Glow Shakes, alongside simple, consistent habits.
For Louise, the structure made all the difference.
“Having a clear plan made it so much easier. It stopped me from making excuses and saying I’d start ‘tomorrow’,” she said.
Since launching, more than 35,000 women have taken part in The Collagen Co.’s Shake & Glow Challenge, which takes place within the brand’s Facebook community, Glow Talk.
Glow Talk is The Collagen Co.’s dedicated community platform — a vibrant space where members come together to share their journeys, exchange advice, and find inspiration from others on similar paths.
