Moving Through Menopause episodes

  • Make Heath a Habit with Intermittent Fasting and Movement Snacks

    Join me and my special guest Dr. T. Dalton Combs; neuroscientist and author.

    In this episode we will unpick the causes and consequences of human behaviour. We talk all about how we can all hack healthy habits and live better lives. 

    I'm all ears as we talk movement snacks and Intermittent fasting. Movement and nutrition are the most important pillars of health (in my opinion) and contribute the lions share to living a long and healthy life. 

    You will come away with some great tips and information peppered with some giggles as always. So pop in the pods or listen in the car (my favourite).

  • Talking Periods: A Beginning, Middle and End

    The episode I am talking with  Fiona Catchpowle the founder of Talking Periods. Why are we talking about periods when Peri-menopause ushers in the end of the monthly cycle? Menopause sits on the reproductive continuum that begins with Puberty and menstruation and ends with Menopause.

    Fiona asks "... why don't we talk about menopause? Is it because we don't talk about menstruation? and so she on a mission to equip women with the knowledge that helps us all travel along the 'hormonal highway' with more aplomb.

    Perhaps what we need to be asking is, HOW do we talk about periods? We will chew this over and discover more about the menstrual cycle and how it could shine a light on what is come approaching Menopause. Grab a cuppa and join us.

    Workplaces

    Menopause adds another layer of complexity when it comes to navigating relationships in the workplace. Although workplaces are becoming more aware of the menopause conversation this doesn’t mean things will improve overnight.

    We must overcome our own propensity to ‘put up and shut up’ and have pragmatic conversations if we are going to improve our lot.

  • Menopause: Feeling like a broken record?

    Checkout this great conversation as I chat with Dr Susan Baumgaertel and hypnotherapist Jacquie Whur. Join us as we explore how to get what we need to deal with the challenges tossed at us by Menopause. 

    Do we need to have shared experiences to understand the challenges and frustrations that other people face?

    Is it really important that others understand what is happening to us?

    How can we be more comfortable in our own skin around menopause? How do we navigate that journey; which could be three months for some and eight years of hell for others?

    Or could we channel our inner Elsa and "let it go" as we adapt to our new reality and dare I suggest laugh it off?

An unpleasant experience many women will have that can be increased post menopause due to the decreasing levels of Oestrogen and As Oestrogen production falls in menopausal women, UTIs can occur more frequently.

  • Brain Heath, Mental Fitness and Menopause with the Menopause Collective
    Brain Health, Mental Fitness and Menopause
    Caring for your brain cells may not be top of your list of priorities around menopause but brain fog, memory loss, low mood and anxiety are all feature of perimenopause and can persist into Menopause.
    There are oestrogen receptors in the brain there is no denying that and declining levels of oestrogen around menopause definitely can contribute to the neurological signs and symptoms we experience. But to what extent are our lifestyle choices contributing or compounding this phenomenon? Alcohol, stress, and our western diet can all have detrimental effects on our overall health and the brain is no exception.
    Save a brain cell today
    It is worth knowing that brain cells do not regenerate to the same extent as other body cells and so caring for our brain cells is an important consideration for a healthy and fulfilling older age. Strategies to nourish the brain can include wholesome nutrition, increasing levels of activity and taking care of the thoughts we think. Join our conversation to gather some simple tips and hacks to boost your brain health from TODAY!
    7 steps to better brain function
    1. Moderate exercise such as Pilates and Yoga is a step in the right direction. Try this beginner session.
    2. Soothe the brain with healthy fats in meals or snacks.
    3. Curate your thoughts with some positive affirmations.
    4. Transport yourself to a place of deep relaxation for a few minutes every day to reduce your stress and cortisol levels.
    5. Try a blend of the essential oils in a diffuser.
    6. Dry skin brushing stimulates the circulation and removal of toxins.
    7. Cold water immersion has been demonstrated to challenge the nervous system and help to manage mood disturbances. Turn the shower cold at the end of a shower and rinsing your hair in cold water keeps it shiny and soft and can even help us have healthy hair follicles.
    Find a few minutes minutes every day to boost your brain with movement, food and the thoughts you think.
