A 55-year-old woman from New Zealand has shared how a transformative challenge helped her shed 9 kilograms of stubborn menopausal weight and regain control of her life.
Louise, from New Zealand, admitted she felt "stuck" before discovering The Collagen Co and its 28-Day Shake & Glow Challenge. This structured, free program is designed to simplify daily routines and support weight loss by replacing one or two meals a day with the brand's Glow Shake, which tastes more like a treat than a typical meal replacement.
Life-changing results in four weeks
After just four weeks, Louise says the results are undeniable. She lost 9kg, finally saying goodbye to what she described as "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."
The transformation was both physical and mental. Louise reported improved energy, better sleep, stronger nails, healthier hair, and clearer skin. "I've got more energy, fewer excuses, and a much happier version of me," she added. "These were clothes I couldn't even get on before. And now… they fit."
How the challenge works
The challenge focuses on replacing one to two meals daily with The Collagen Co.'s Glow Shakes, combined with simple, consistent habits. For Louise, the structure was key. "Having a clear plan made it so much easier. It stopped me from making excuses and saying I'd start 'tomorrow'," she said.
Since its launch, over 35,000 women have participated in the Shake & Glow Challenge, which takes place within the brand's Facebook community, Glow Talk. This dedicated platform allows members to share journeys, exchange advice, and find inspiration.

The next installment begins on 18 May 2026, and participants can sign up to receive the full 28-day plan.

"So amazed with these results."
