Last night in Huddersfield I had the privilege of a conversation with a woman about the lengths she’s had to go to - and ultimately pay privately for - to get solid information, support and appropriate treatment for her personal experience of Menopause 💔

And, all of our experiences are personal aren’t they? We don’t all go through it the same way, even though we do all go through it

One of the most common fears I hear about HRT is the (reported 10yrs ago & since scientifically de-bunked) link to Breast Cancer

Unless you’ve had, or have maternal history of Breast Cancer, the chances of HRT being responsible for you developing it - are massively lower - than those of Obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle and smoking. Any or all of the above.

In the majority of cases, HRT proves to be far more beneficial in our overall health, wellbeing & longevity, than not 🎯

In my experience, it’s not a last resort or failure to cope, it’s simply replenishment of the hormones we naturally lose at this stage of our lives, but SO need to keep us as close to being ‘ourselves’ as we can 💪🏽

You don’t need to trust me 😘 on this - watch this ⬇️ and let me know your thoughts & experiences 💞

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by physician and author Dr Jeffrey Dach, who is the founder and Medical Director of the TrueMedMD Clinic in Flori...

There’s a difference, trust me 😘

How many times have you told yourself that you’re too tired to get out and move? 🙋‍♀️

Especially on a work day evening? Especially on a Wednesday 😩

No Blame No Shame - this was definitely how I felt after an inactive office day yesterday 👩‍💻 My warm home & PJs were definitely calling me!

But, I’d booked on to our Running Fit Ossett & Horbury Wednesday Warriors meet & social and that made me ‘accountable’. So off I went and I was SO happy I did 🤩

Still buzzing this morning 💥 I mean, the food & chats afterwards were just 🥰 too!

Equally, if I’d have gone along to our Walking Fit meet & Easter fuddle - I’d have had an amazing time there too 💗

My point being, what if we re-frame some of our well-worn old phrases?

‘Exercise’ becomes ‘Movement’
‘Fitness’ becomes ‘Health’
‘Diet’ becomes ‘Nourishment’
‘Should Do’ becomes ‘Want to Do’
‘Group Meets’ becomes ‘Connection & Fun’

When you join something like our groups I get it, it’s hard to start with and it’s challenging to be relatively consistent with everything else you have going on 🤹‍♂️

Howeverrrrrr, you’ll find them to be way more than ‘just’ ‘fitness’ groups 😉 and you will always be more than welcome

Trust me, as Evergreen Active groups, we’re all on 😘

Not local to Ossett & Horbury? No problem! Here’s our other fabulous groups ⬇️

🕺🏼Ah Ah Ah Ah Staying Alive, Staying Alive 💃🏻

No song was ever more apt 45 mins into a workout 🤣👏🏼

Or more descriptive of what is all about! A fab class, awesome efforts everywhere - regardless of strength or fitness level, everyone put a shift in - amazing atmosphere and, all about being here for a long time as well as a good time 💥

Absolutely gorgeous to have Mum & Daughter, Nikki & Clio, training together here too this morning 💞

was just as incredible with Gail & Bev nailing deadlifts & making them look eeeeeeasay! 🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♂️

Sharon & Karen buddying each other less than 1 week after a 10K road race 🏅🏅

And Helen, building confidence & strength in her form, sets and reps every single week 💪🏽💪🏽

And the cherry 🍒 on the cake 🧁 is that everyone is just so lovely to coach & to each other 🫶🏽

Thank you all, you really do help me question my life choices less 🤣💗😘

I haven’t watched Eastenders in years but got tagged & PM’d so much, I thought I’d accidentally been in it 🤣 Thank you all 💞

They’d clearly done some research with this episode ‘The one where now 50yo Honey asked the (“ barely 30yo”) female GP for HRT’

And got a 💩show of advice & a complete lack of empathy, listening skills or educated support

And sadly, it didn’t duff duff the shock out of me at all, because I hear accounts like this All The Damn Time!

GP training on menopause is discretionary. It’s a CPD module they can choose to take. Or not 😳

They’re busy, we know that. They only have 10 mins per appt. We know that too.

We also know that women are 50% of the population and the primary care givers to the other 50%

When we’re well & cared for, everyone around us benefits

Partners
Families
Friends
Colleagues
Employers

When we have a ‘system glitch’ between the ages of 35-65 and we’re not supported;

All of the above can all fall down. All of it.

We’re not doing this to ourselves, it’s biology, it’s nature and it can be horrendous to the point of women leaving established careers, divorcing their husbands and taking their own lives

Well done the BBC for giving this some air time but it’s not their job - or gift - to make the changes in care that should be mandatory, not a choice.

I have some new info & support sessions starting 7th May, in Wakefield, with the fabulous The Art House Wakefield - as soon as the booking link goes live I’ll share it here 😘
