About

In this episode, we’re talking about strength - not weight, not size, but pure, functional strength. Because let’s be honest, we can spend way too much time worrying about one and not nearly enough about the other!

Strength is vital at any age, but as we hit midlife and beyond, it becomes essential. It boosts confidence, protects our bones, and keeps us active for longer. After all, what’s the point of making it to 90 if you’re too frail to enjoy it?

To explore this, I’m joined by the brilliant Christien Bird, a familiar voice on The Happy Menopause podcast. A women’s health physiotherapist with a passion for strength, Christien is in her early 60s, represents Team GB in triathlon for her age group, and has just signed up for an Ironman challenge - because she loves pushing herself! If anyone can inspire us to embrace strength, it’s her.

Together, we discuss:

-       The barriers holding women back from exercise – and when they start

-       Why strength is so important in midlife

-       How it plays a key role in avoiding frailty

-       Three different exercise personas - find out which one you are!

-       Practical tips for getting started, even if you’re feeling shy

Tune in for an inspiring and empowering conversation that will change the way you think about strength!

    On World Menopause day it seems very fitting to look at the menopause from a historical angle and link it to women’s experience today.

    Are you fed up with dieting and not making any progress with weight loss?

The female body is complicated and the cocktail of hormones around the menopause can make it […]

  • Good Mood Food to Beat the Menopause Blues with Nutritionist & Author Jackie Lynch – S4 Ep 7.

    In this episode I’m focusing on good mood foods, because there is no doubt that what we eat can have a huge impact on our brain and cognitive function.  Mood swings, anxiety and brain fog are incredibly common issues for women in their early 40s onwards, which can come as an unwelcome surprise. And while […]

  • Caring For Your Skin Through Menopause & Beyond with Dr Emma Wedgeworth, Consultant Dermatologist – S4. Ep 3.

    Skincare is a hot topic for many women and never more so than in midlife when the hormonal fluctuations of the perimenopause bring about a sea change in the condition of our skin. Acne, dry skin and loss of elasticity are all very common problems, and we often find that our tried and trusted skincare […]

  • How to Beat Bloating with Jackie Lynch, Nutritionist & Author – S.3 Ep.15.

    Bloating can be a nasty niggling issue for a lot of women in midlife. It can affect different people in different ways. You might have a sense of overfullness after even quite a small meal.

  • The Science of Restorative Sleep with Lisa Cypers Kamen, Lifestyle Coach & Author – S3. Ep 13.

    When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep?

  • 52 Ways to Walk Your Way to Health with Annabel Streets, Author & Researcher – S3. Ep 12.

    Walking is something that’s accessible to almost all of us and it can be a much less daunting prospect to the harassed midlife woman than high impact work, running or intense training. What’s wonderful about the research we discuss in this episode is that walking isn’t a second-best option if you’re not up to other […]

  • How to Manage Your Perimenopause with Ruth Devlin, Nurse, Health Coach & Author – S3. Ep11.

    This episode is all about the perimenopause, because those years running up to the menopause can be full of hormonal havoc. In fact, although we use it as a catch-all term, the menopause technically only lasts for one day. It’s that day when it’s been 12 months since your last period. After that, you’re post […]

  • How to Have Great Sex Through the Menopause & Beyond with Dr Claire Macaulay, Oncologist & Sex Coach – S3. Ep 10.

    Is your sex life everything you want it to be? If the answer is a hollow laugh and “What sex life?”, then you’re not unusual.
