Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk

Movement is One of the Essential Pillars of Life

Season 6, Ep. 2
•

Our bodies are designed to move, they need to move in order to stay healthy. If you’re trying to manage menopausal symptoms, movement can be a life changer.


For the latest episode of The Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk Podcast, Julie Robinson from Move it or Lose it joins Dr Heather Currie MBE and Ruth Devlin. A former PE teacher, Julie has spent her career translating research into practical, inclusive exercise, inspiring everyone to move more. They chat about why doing a combination of movement and exercise is so important… what FABS mean and why everyone bangs on about balance and strength exercising.


Throughout the episode there are sprinklings of fabulous practical everyday tips, all approachable at any level, which will have a positive impact on your bone, muscle and heart health, as well as your mental health.
