  • Menopause, Movement and Mood: Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon

    Menopause, Movement and Mood: Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon
    Sep 24 2025
    Menopause can often feel like a confusing and challenging journey, leaving you to wonder why your body seems to have a mind of its own. From unpredictable hot flashes and frustrating brain fog to mood swings and sleepless nights, these symptoms can make you feel like your body is a complete stranger. But what if there was a simple, accessible set of tools to help you navigate these changes? In this episode, we're busting myths and revealing why a little movement is your secret weapon, not just for managing symptoms, but for truly reclaiming your well-being, inside and out. Michelle Discusses The common, often frustrating, physical and mental symptoms of menopause, from hot flashes and brain fog to emotional changes and poor sleep. The science behind how declining oestrogen levels affect the body, including a slower metabolism, decreased bone density, and a loss of cardiovascular protection. The three key pillars of exercise for menopause: cardio for heart health, strength training to protect bones and build muscle, and flexibility/mind-body work for calm and balance. The importance of pelvic floor exercises to improve bladder control, prevent prolapse, and enhance sexual function. Practical, simple ways to incorporate movement into a busy life, emphasising that consistency beats intensity and that any movement—from a brisk walk to dancing in the kitchen—counts. BEST MOMENTS "The laundry basket is not yet recognised as official gym equipment." "So here's the sciencey bit, but I promise to keep it simple." "You know that group of muscles that most of us never thought about until one day we sneezed and, well, you know what happened." "This isn't about perfection, it's about making friends with your body again." HOST BIO Michelle is a highly respected Physiotherapist and Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry.

    From Struggle to Strength: How Menopause Jen Transformed Negative Workplace Experience into Empowerment
    Sep 10 2025
    If you’ve ever felt like your workplace was unsupportive when it comes to the menopause, then this episode is for you. This week’s guest is Jen Francis, known on TikTok as Menopause Jen Official, who walked away from her role as a digital marketing manager when a lack of menopause support and outdated attitudes from her employer made it impossible to stay. Since then, Jen has created a growing community where women share hacks, tips and real-life experiences to support each other through midlife and menopause, proving that there's strength in numbers. We talk about why she left her job, the menopause-related challenges she faced at work, and how she's using her platform to empower others. Jen Discusses The lack of understanding and support in the workplace The feelings of isolation and frustration that can result from this. How symptoms such as migraines, palpitations, and fatigue can severely affect a woman's ability to perform at work. The lack of acknowledgment and support from employers and how they can exacerbate health issues, leading to a decline in mental health and job satisfaction How flexible working options can be crucial for women dealing with menopause symptoms. The pressing need for menopause policies and education within organisations How managers may dismiss symptoms or fail to provide necessary support, which can lead to negative workplace experiences for affected employees. How building communities can empower women to share their experiences and support one another BEST MOMENTS "I thought, oh, God, they're not going to be good about it. But they actually were." "I was surprised, you know, someone in her 40s, I thought she must be in perimenopause.” "I had to keep pestering doctors to get fit notes." "I think it's given me a chance to focus on me and decide what I want to do at 52." "If you support your staff, you're gonna be more productive."
