What happens when you pair a holistic personal trainer and a nutritionist passionate about women's health? You get an enlightening conversation that promises to change your perspective on self-care, menopause, and ageing. Join me, Fiona Kane, as I chat with Cathy Lloyd-Prowse. Together, we tackle the often misunderstood topic of menopause, focusing on the different needs of a woman's body at various phases of life and the importance of understanding and managing age-related changes.
We're diving deep into the world of peri-menopause and menopause, discussing the physical and emotional impacts of this critical transition. Cathy shares her personal journey – from her corporate persona to becoming a holistic personal trainer and how her perspective towards women's health has evolved over the years. We also highlight the importance of strength training and proper nutrition, particularly for promoting bone and muscle health as we age. Plus, Cathy and I delve into the role of cholesterol in our systems and why it's not always the villain it's made out to be.
To wrap up our conversation, we guide you through the potential risks of high cholesterol medications and the potential benefits of a Coronary Calcium Score CT scan. We also underline the importance of muscle and bone health in aging, offer tips on managing menopause symptoms, and discuss the significant role your mindset plays in your overall well-being.
This episode is a must-listen if you're a woman over 40-50 looking to navigate this pivotal life phase with confidence. Don't miss out on this treasure trove of valuable information and personal experiences!
