Leo talks to Katie Morris from Thirsdspace, a female health expert with 20 years of experience in the industry. Katie shares her journey of getting into the industry and her focus on supporting menopausal women.

She discusses the need to adapt training, nutrition, and psychology approaches when working with women as they age.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Menopause symptoms can vary greatly among women, with some experiencing few or no symptoms while others may have a wide range of physical and emotional changes.
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be an effective option for managing menopause symptoms, but it is important for each individual to weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision.
• Regular exercise, particularly strength training, can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being during menopause.
• Managing stress levels is crucial during menopause, as stress can exacerbate symptoms, and finding stress-relieving activities such as yoga or swimming can be beneficial.
• It is important for women to advocate for their own health and seek support from healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about menopause and can provide appropriate guidance and treatment options.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've had a lot of clients do that. And they can then be referred to another NHS practice or to a private medical clinic. And I've had this plenty of times, I've had it happen, you know, and you just have to have the confidence to say, listen, I want a second opinion or that you can say it to the GP receptionist or to the doctor itself."

"The more you can educate yourself, get a plan in place for yourself, control the symptoms… Some women do say that it's been the best phase of their life because they've taken control"

"The lifestyle thing is obviously going to be super important, as it is for most general population as we get older, to get your exercise, regular exercise in place to get your nutrition in underhand, whether you seek support with it or you do it yourself, it's completely up to you to stay in touch with your doctor to get regular blood checks."

"The more accountable you're made and the more emotional support that a woman is given through menopause, they're more likely to stick to the exercise and nutrition side of it."
