Live this week with long standing client, Maria.
We discussed:
- What were the first symptoms of menopause you remember experiencing?
- How do you feel (if so) menopause effected your progress towards your body composition/ fitness goals?
- What barriers do you feel you faced in regard to hitting your goals/plan?
- You have chosen to use HRT - what does this involve and how did you open this dialogue with your GP?
- Why did you decide to use HRT?
- What was the first thing you noticed after you started?
- Whats your advice to anyone struggling with the side effects of peri-menopuase/menopause and trying to hit their goals?
Wherever you are in your journey, age etc, I think its an important discussion for us all to be having around dealing with the menopause and opening dialogues around discussing HRT. This will happen to every single one of us at some point in our lives, and the more we give it attention, the more open and accessible research and medical support will become.
