This week I spoke to Rebecca Heald (Nutrition coach) about weight gain during the menopause including:

✅ emotional eating - what it is and where it stems from

In this episode Phillipa talks to Susan Nightingale, Chartered Neurological Physiotherapist about the Brain. Reduced levels of Oestrogen can impact memory before or during menopause. It has a role in regulating a variety of brain chemicals, along with many functions of the nervous system.

As your body’s oestrogen levels decrease this can cause occasional lapses in brain function, resulting in short-term memory issues. Susan is all to aware of what can go wrong in her work with stroke patients but there are lots of things we can all do to protect the brain and improve our brain function. So get your ear pods at the ready for another dose of wellness advice, wisdom and wit.

Most women find that their hair loses volume and length around menopause. This is due to falling oestrogen levels. We may also find that hair breaks more easily as the hair is naturally more fragile. So what can we do?

For this weeks podcast I talked to my hairdresser and we uncovered some top tips to keep our hair healthy around and beyond the menopause.
