A way that has genuinely made me (believe it or not) excited for this enormous transition that lies ahead of me.I was joined by Jo Fiddy, a Confidence and Menopause Coach and EFT Practitioner. who is on a mission to change the way we experience menopause and who believes that rather than being something to fear, perimenopause and menopause the science behind menopause can be a hugely transformative and life-affirming experience. The key is understanding it and having the tools to support ourselves as we go through it.We talk about the the science behind menopause, how to support your nervous system, mindset shifts that change the game, and practical ways to boost your healthspan and start building up those ‘Granny gains’.
