Healthy Lifestyle Podcast
Friday, 27 October 2023 - 11 minutes
Gemma Paddington is host of Healthy Lifestyle on Voice FM and one of the main subjects she's focusing on is the menopause.
Many women are unaware of the symptoms and the causes, and, that keeping fit is a key part of making the menopause much easier to cope with.
Another aspect is how effects people at work, and the impact it has on female employees, not only in the office, but also at home.
In a recent show Gemma was delighted to have the opportunity to talk about all of this with top athlete Dame Kelly Holmes, who is an advocate for mental health and has herself woken up to the problems females go through, but also brings some solutions for employers.
Alongside her personal changes Kelly was also bringing to the table one of the organisations pushing for more recognition and support for women experiencing menopausal symptoms at work, the Welltech company and supplement specialist LYMA.
It has put together a free guide for employers and women in business as well as offering corporate subsidies for their supplements and free access to expert advice via their Supplement MOT hotline.
Gemma started by asking Dame Kelly Holmes if understanding the menopause, and perimenopause was becoming a passion for her.
