#16. Menopause: Prescribing Movement & Lifestyle. Feel good by prioritising self-care before, during & after menopause for health & wellbeing with Dr Laura Clark & Dr Katie Hilton

Navigating this part of life myself, I know how important it is to be open and discuss the importance of movement through what can be a turbulent and confusing time.  I really enjoyed talking to Dr. Katie Hilton and Dr. Laura Clark who founded The Lifestyle Health Clinic to help midlife women with their health and well-being during perimenopause and menopause; giving women time to really understand what is happening by looking at their whole lifestyle to help unlock how wellbeing can look for them.  In this conversation, we discussed the multifaceted benefits of regular exercise, and focussed on empowering women to prioritise their own health and well-being, by recognising the importance of self-care, as well as always seeking support. We looked at practical strategies such as habit stacking and integrating movement into daily routines to help make sustainable lifestyle changes. We also covered the power of social connection in fostering overall health and the significance of building supportive networks. I know that without the support and openness of discussion with my friends through this time of life, it would have been a lot more difficult.   The message we convey is that feeling suboptimal is not acceptable, and women should strive for optimal health and well-being by embracing movement, seeking help, and prioritising self-care during the phases of perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
