It’s Women’s health week on September the 6th and we think there is no better time to celebrate one of the most significant stages of womanhood – menopause! There is no denying menopause can be a disruptive phase of life for all women. Natural changes to your body occur including vaso-motor symptoms (hot flushes), psychological and cognitive symptoms (mood changes, anxiety, depression, irritability) and physiological symptoms (muscle atrophy, changes in bone density). Unfortunately, it is seen as a bleak time for both you and the people close to you. So why celebrate? Because you can do something about it! Gone are the days of dreading menopause and life after it! Based on evidence, we suggest using an interrelated 3 prong approach, including physical, mental and nutritional elements to manage this life transition. Each piece being independently influential and collectively, unstoppable. ExerciseDid you know physical exercise has a shotgun-like effect on the top 4 physiological side effects of menopause? It’s about doing the right type of exercise for your body. Have a read here if you’re interested! PsychologyThe psychological and cognitive changes are sometimes significant and often blamed on the individual rather than recognised as a symptom of this life transition. The importance of education around these changes and learning about the tools to identify and manage them is easier than you think! Check out this article for more information. NutritionThe two most prevalent diseases associated with post-menopausal women are osteoporosis and heart disease. Both factors are influenced significantly by the food you put into your body. Dietary changes, although mundane sounding, can make or break the influence of menopause on not only the two major risk factors, but most symptoms. There are several dietary guidelines that you can learn from that’ll have you in the know of how to take care of yourself. In the information age, it is hard to delineate between what you should and shouldn’t do. Our integrated team of specialists in each respective field (psychology, exercise and nutrition) has cut through the noise and will give you the tools that you need to be educated and empowered to continue to enjoy this phase of your life. Regardless of what stage you may be in, perimenopausal or postmenopausal, come and join our team of experts in each field on Wednesday, September the 8th and let’s celebrate this life milestone by learning how to take it on, head first.
