Currently, fragility fractures are the fourth leading cause of chronic disease morbidity in Europe, with worldwide fractures at more than 8.9 million annually (thats one every 3 seconds) and 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 will experience osteoporosis fractures
Currentrly there is no Osteoporosis 'prevention’ screening in the same way we have Breast Cancer screenings and yet Osteoporosis
causes death to more women than Breast Cancer!! It’s a silent disease happening gradually over time WITH NO SYMPTOMS!
Where even after the first bone break, women aren’t generally screened for Osteoporosis, find out more in this latest episode
Hey, I’m Rebecca I am a Menopause Coach, Nutritional
Therapist, and qualified Personal Trainer and I am passionate about empowering women to be
healthy and take charge of their wellbeing and menopause transition
As a teen I contracted Hepatitis which damaged the way I digested fat in my diet, I spent the next 15 years suffering from daily
heartburn and acid and constantly took antacids, until quite by accident I discovered the key to stop my daily discomfort.... DIET
How I ate cured my condition and sparked a thirst for more knowledge, so I decided to gain a Nutritional Therapy qualification in January
2011 so I could pass on my knowledge and help others, specifically women.
I qualified as a Personal Trainer in 2018 and many of my clients were women in their mid 40's who started having issues with weight gain, lethargy and sleep issues and, honestly, I had no idea and nothing in my training was geared to what I now know was Peri-menopausal women
In 2019 I turned 50 and my own menopause hit me from nowhere and made me realise how uneducated and ill
prepared I was, how did I not know what was coming? I decided to educate myself and make sure I was qualified to educate and coach other women and it’s become a big passion for me to change the narrative and taboo around menopause and women’s health
My wish is for you to live your life Empowered and Thrive on the other side
I really hope you found this episode interesting and helpful, why not join the community

around menopause together
