Sleep By Shea

Did you know the risk of cardiovascular disease increases significantly during menopause due to a drop in estrogen levels, which are believed to protect the heart. Menopausal women are also at greater risk of medical conditions like Type 2 Diabetes due to their tendency to gain weight during menopause. Luckily, physical activity during and after the menopausal period is thought to be of great benefit for women during this time of their life, as embracing a healthy lifestyle can keep your heart healthy and offset the risk of disease. In this week's episode we delve into the benefits of being active throughout menopause and talk to Nat Evans, a Brisbane-based Menopause Personalist Trainer specialist. We are looking forward to hearing her tips to living an active life through menopause
