WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY 2025!

This year’s theme is one that is so close to my heart - the role of LIFESTYLE MEDICINE in Menopausal health.

You've heard me bang on about this for years! Lol... And it's the hill that I will die on - you can't supplement or HRT your way out of poor lifestyle choices.

Don't get me wrong, y'all know that I am a huge advocate for both, but neither of them are going to lift the weights for you, cook the lean protein for you or pass on the second glass of wine or Tim-Tam and go to bed early for you!

That's on you and it DOES take some work, some prioritizing, some sacrifice, some dedication and some time, but your body will thank you for it in the end. PINKY SWEAR!

I say all this, but I am also completely aware that putting into place a solid nutrition, movement, sleep and stress mitigation protocol is NOT always that easy to do on your own either.... There's sooooo much information out there now about menopause that it's hard to know where to start.

There’s been an explosion of interest in menopause and there’s also been an explosion of mis-information too!

This is where I come in! As a dedicated, highly qualified health practitioner and post menopausal myself, I feel perfectly placed , as well as passionately driven, to provide holistic, evidence based education for ALL of the women I work with.

I love to give them the WHOLE toolbox they need to feel confident in a body they love and one that loves them back!

I want you to know ALL THE THINGS!

🥦What should I eat? More or less?
Why can't I lose the weight around my middle?

💪Do I really NEED to lift heavy? Is walking, pilates or yoga enough?

😴 How can I get better sleep and WHY is it so important? Is it stress, is it low progesterone?

🤯 Why am I so tired and unable to focus or make decisions? Is it low estrogen, low testosterone, low Iron or even thyroid?

💩Why has my bowel gone ROGUE? Gas, bloating, constipation... WTH???

🚽AND of course one of my favourite topics - I'm looking at you bladder and v@gina 👀 - WHY, WHY, WHY am I now experiencing incontinence, prolapse, urgency and dryness...

🩷 Whether we’re talking body composition, pelvic health, mu

As an ocean swimmer, I have a love/hate relationship with Autumn... Lol

The water is (cyclones aside) perfectly crystal clear and warm, the sunrises are to die for AND you don't need to be up at stupid o'clock to be a witness to them!

BUT .... It is getting sooooo dark and the air temperature is sneaking in the wrong direction! It literally feels like it happens overnight. 🥶

We ocean swimmers do it anyway, it builds resilience AND it's ALWAYS worth it. Do I think it makes me a healthier human? Absolutely. Is it for everyone? Of course not.

Everyone has (or should) have something in their life that challenges them mentally or physically. It is what keeps us sharp and vital (and happier) as we age.

If you are struggling with the "blahs" or the "mehs" or the "whatever-can't be bothered", especially at this time of changing seasons, there are lots of ways I can help you get that MOJO back - and I promise you it doesn't have to be sunrise ocean swimming!

If you are a peri or post menopausal woman feeling like you are spinning the wheels and going nowhere, then reach out. With over 30 years as a health practitioner I have some serious tricks up my sleeve!

Here to help - always. 🤍🤍🤍

AMA about MENOPAUSE month continues....

Q: This is so embarrasing, but is it possible that menopause could be making me not want to have s3x ever and making me leak when I try to run?

A: TOTALLY...

I did several reels earlier this month and one of them is on this exact topic. Scroll down and have a listen if you missed it.

GSM or the genito-urinary symptoms of menopause is a thing! While most people will associate menopause with things like hot flushes, brain fog, mood changes and changes in bleeding, vaginal and urinary symptoms are often overlooked or dismissed.

60% of women admit to experiencing at least 1 of the following symptoms and a whopping 45% of them will just grin and bear it and not seek help! 😲😲😲 This is terrible!!!! There is so much that I can do to help as a PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIO!

🙀 Leaking urine on cough, sneeze, laugh, run, jump
😼 Increased UTI
😾 Vaginal burning, discharge or itchiness
🙀 Vulval itchiness, pain or burning
😼 Reduced lubrication
😾 Reduced sensation or pleasure/ longer to or**sm
🙀 Painful in*******se or bleeding with in*******se
😼 Low to non-existent libido

These are all part of what is called GSM and it is very common, very real and can have life impacting consequences that present in perimenopause and then worsen over time with decreasing estrogen. IE. It's NOT going away on it's own!

It can impact your intimate relationships, your social life and even your bone health and body composition!

How many women do not do heavy lifting, high impact aerobic exercise or bone-building jumping exercises for fear of leaking?

Pelvic Floor physio with me is SOOO much more than just kegels... I address the whole you from what you need by way of nutrition, to what exercises you can and should do, right through to what your poo looks like and how to sit on the loo!!!!

No holding back - We're so going there. 😉
