It’s World Menopause Day today and the theme this year is HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Also known as MHT (menopause hormone therapy) in other countries.
There has been lots of confusion and controversy over the years about HRT so I’m going to give you a few resources to use from trusted sources.

HRT is not always the magic cure. Some women can’t take it. Some don’t want to. Some can’t tolerate it. For some it doesn’t help.

It can help alongside other lifestyle changes and for some it is just what is needed to get women off the floor and feeling well enough to actually live their lives again.

We are all different. There is not one answer for everyone. You need to find what works for you. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help. You are not a failure if you turn to HRT.

For me, it definitely helped my relationship with my kids and husband.

Please advocate for yourselves.

Menopause workouts are trending!!

There is no such thing though. Who says you have to workout in a certain way because we are going through menopause???

Yes there are things to consider such as
💪 your goals
💪 your symptoms
💪 your recovery

But symptoms can change. Your goals might change. So your workouts can change.

But don’t let anyone tell you that a certain type of exercise is not for you because you are menopausal. We are badass women. We can adapt. We can change. We can grow. We can do anything.

You do you. 💪💪💪💪
