Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk episodes
- Movement is One of the Essential Pillars of Life
Our bodies are designed to move, they need to move in order to stay healthy. If you’re trying to manage menopausal symptoms, movement can be a life changer.
For the latest episode of The Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk Podcast, Julie Robinson from Move it or Lose it joins Dr Heather Currie MBE and Ruth Devlin. A former PE teacher, Julie has spent her career translating research into practical, inclusive exercise, inspiring everyone to move more. They chat about why doing a combination of movement and exercise is so important… what FABS mean and why everyone bangs on about balance and strength exercising.
Throughout the episode there are sprinklings of fabulous practical everyday tips, all approachable at any level, which will have a positive impact on your bone, muscle and heart health, as well as your mental health.

35 min - Dispelling the myths and misinformation – getting clarity.
Menopause myths vs Reality
Heather and Ruth cut through the misinformation and get the facts on menopause symptom management with leading UK endocrinologist Dr. Annice Mukherjee to separate sense from the "bonkers" advice out there.
We recap on the menopause transition, understanding how hormones shift and eventually reach a stable equilibrium.
We explore the bigger picture - why overall health, simple lifestyle tweaks and self care can be your best tools. We clarify the truth about HRT; why you need an individualised approach and why it’s not just about estrogen.
Also, what do you need to know about the weight loss jabs and and the dangers of cherry picking advice.
