Let's Talk Menopause with Sam Palmer

I asked menopause fitness expert, Sam Palmer, of Midlife Makeover to answer some questions about menopause asked by women in The Midlife Movement community. We covered a multitude of issues:Sex, Mind and the Menopause Documentary with Davina McCallForgetfulness: 14.45Libido: 18.45Sleep: 28.45HRT (and whether suitable if you've had cancer) 31.51How to get the best from your doctor 33.25Leg pains 36.45Social life 40.00I am so grateful to Sam for bringing her brand of down to earth, common sense advice to the conversation. As she so rightly says, we shouldn't buy into the gloom and doom about menopause - there is so much we can do to help ourselves. And it's called a "pause" for a reason - this is time to take a step back and reflect on our lives. Check out Sam's website, Midlife Makeover, for a range of programs to help you deal with the challenges of menopause. And if you need help to work out who you want to be and how you want to spend your life beyond menopause, book a Rediscovery call with me to see if I can help you with my Transform your Midlife Program of 121 coaching.About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email [email protected] to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.  See The Midlife & Beyond section of my website for more information and resources to help you navigate change with less stress and more joy! www.joblackwell.co.uk  Get full access to Midlife & Beyond with Jo Blackwell at joblackwellmidlifeandbeyond.substack.com/subscribe
