Another important topic to cover and one which many of us ignore, to a certain extent, until something untoward happens…often out of the blue.We chat through the importance of looking into and taking preventative measures from as early an age as possible, very much taking a holistic approach.What are your bone cells actually up to as you move around day in, day out – there’s a lot going on! We explain the different terminology and why something like osteoporosis is classed as a silent disease.What are the risk factors…ones that you can’t avoid and ones which you can do something about.Then there’s the role estrogen plays and the role HRT can play. Lots of food for thought but essentially be aware of what we can all do for ourselves, take action and get that healthy lifestyle sorted. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Neurodiversity and menopause
With the overlap of symptoms between neurodiverse conditions and the menopause it can all become a very complex topic…having a better understanding of how everything interacts is essential, especially where medication is concerned.To help to explain everything we’re delighted to welcome onto the podcast Trudi Roscouet who explains brilliantly what it can feel like being neurodiverse whilst going through the menopause and how challenging it can be having that double whammy.We chat about whether people really need to get a diagnosis, the fine line between establishing the cause of symptoms, how ADHD can exacerbate the menopausal symptoms and importantly an insight into ways to cope with symptoms.It’s really interesting listening to Trudi as she breaks everything down into relatable, bite sized pieces of information, a fabulous insight.

This is the time when a home kit is a good idea to regularly check your blood pressure.We discuss the ‘hot potato topic’ of the link between menopause, HRT and heart disease - the role estrogen plays when it comes to heart health, alongside the benefits and risks of HRT if required.A really interesting episode to listen to and relevant for everyone, regardless of age or gender.
