I am so excited to welcome you to my brand new podcast ‘Outrun The Menopause’
If you want to not only survive, but to actually thrive & strive through menopause you NEED to subscribe and listen to this podcast.
I’m Nicky Edwards, a physiotherapist and avid runner. I am little obsessed with talking about the menopause and how females, especially those age 40+, need to adapt their exercise and nutrition to be in harmony with their changing hormones.
You may wonder why an almost 42 year old is obsessed with talking about the menopause. But as we party our way past our 40th birthday, especially toward our mid to late 40s, we are unwittingly thrusted onto the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause and the chaos of hot flashes, fatigue, night sweats, insomnia, reduced bone density, loss of muscle mass and strength, and the emotional lability that accompanies it.
I see so many women in my clinic with AVOIDABLE physical health problems such as joint pain, back pain and osteoporosis, and feeling miserable and self conscious due to the 'menopausal spread' around their midriff. Most health problems in women after 40 are linked to our declining oestrogen levels, contributed to by physical inactivity, dietary deficiencies, and other changes associated with ageing.
I am SO frustrated:
- that menopause continues to be a taboo subject and the lack of education about perimenopause and beyond. We wouldn’t let our children hit puberty without educating them, so why are we doing this to the 50% of the population who will go through menopause?
- about the lack of education about menopause so that women like me who are estranged from their mother and have no family knowledge or experience to learn from are left in the dark.
- about the vast amount of INACCURATE information and ridiculously expensive gimmicks, gadgets, and supplements out there promising to be the magical solution you are looking for. It's confusing the hell out of women already struggling with brain fog and fatigue from sweaty sleepless nights who are desperate to do ANYTHING to alleviate their symptoms.
- seeing women being RIPPED OFF by clever marketing of products making false claims that will never work
- women suffering unnecessarily when some simple (FREE) good habits can make a HUGE difference to both physical and mental wellbeing.
But don't worry, I am here to help you, help yourself, to alleviate symptoms and become a stronger, healthier version of yourself.
The Outrun The Menopause podcast will provide expert information and advice that you can trust.
You will hear a wealth of easy to understand information from myself, specialist physiotherapist Nicky Edwards, and guest experts within the sphere of menopause, women's health, exercise, nutrition and running.
