In this inspiring episode of Two Women Chatting, Michelle sits down with wellness advocate and fitness expert Kate Rowe-Ham for a deep dive into the complex journey of menopause and future proofing our health. Kate shares her insights on how strength training, mindful nutrition and taking charge of personal well-being can transform this life stage. The conversation emphasises the power of health ownership, body confidence, and viewing menopause as a time of growth rather than limitation. Kate and Michelle also bond over their experiences with late ADHD diagnoses, sharing how understanding and embracing their diagnoses has brought a new perspective to midlife.
Key Takeaways:
🎙️ Menopause as a Personal Journey: Every woman’s menopause experience is different, there is no such thing as a ‘menopause workout’ - it’s more about how we factor in our changing surroundings including stress and lifestyle..
🎙️ The Power of Strength Training: Kate emphasises that strength training is particularly beneficial for midlife women, helping with physical strength and confidence, weight, mood and sleep.
🎙️ Taking Control of Health: Owning your health is essential for navigating midlife successfully. Proactive steps can prevent future health issues.
🎙️ Navigating Alcohol and Balance: Kate’s journey with alcohol serves as a reminder of the power of self-reflection and making health-aligned choices.
🎙️ Late Diagnosis of ADHD: Michelle and Kate share how their late ADHD diagnoses brought clarity and new energy to their midlife journeys, empowering them to embrace life with more understanding and focus.
