Strength Rx at Menopause: Episode 36 Research update

hello there! I'm in the throes of going though the new research that's emerging in the menstrual, maternal & menopausal space, and looking for what's going to change how we help women live well at each of these pivotal life stages. There will be a deep dive and big updates in my online Hormonal Health Masterclass later this summer (you can sign up now and get the updates for free when they go live). Expect info on the influence of menstrual health (including endometriosis) on athletes, lots of new info on postnatal rehab and of course, up to date information on musculoskeletal and pelvic health at menopause To start with, I'm going to use this week's podcast to discuss a new 2024 paper by Stimson et al looking at barriers to strength training at perimenopause - why it matters, what the barriers are, what I think they got right in this paper...and what they missed! Moving forward with the podcast, there will be a combination of the expert interviews you've been enjoying (coming soon: pelvic health in athletes, communication skills, pelvic health & cancer and more...) AND some regular research updates (let's nerd out together!) and what they mean for our work helping women live well. I hope you enjoy this review but let me know if there are topics in women's health that you'd like me to explore - I'm always open to suggestions! Until next time, Michelle In the meantime, you can access my online women's health courses here and you can find me on Instagram as michellelyons_muliebrity for my continuing adventures in women's health See you soon and don't forget to #celebratemuliebrity
