Are you in your mid-30s to mid-50s and feel as though you could be struggling with the effects of perimenopause and menopause? Don’t stay quiet and ‘get on with it’. Talk, seek support and carry on living life to the max. E-J leads this episode of the Soulful Reawakening podcast, focusing on the effects of perimenopause and menopause. She identifies why females experience this stage of life and what they can expect regarding physical and emotional signs and symptoms.  E-J discusses the importance of exercise to help counteract the effects of perimenopause and menopause, but also as a preventative measure. As well as providing a boost of energy, body weight and resistance exercises can guard against depleting oestrogen levels. It’s not only us that this phase affects. The impacts can stretch to all relationships because changing hormones influence moods, emotions and identities. Talking about perimenopause and menopause is the first place to start, and the trio openly talk about their own experiences and share valuable resources to learn more and to track emotional and physical symptoms.  Listen to this informative episode to hear more about a period in life that affects all females (and their friends, family and work colleagues), and act now with E-J’s call to action steps. _ _ _ Thank you so much for listening.
