Mid-life / Menopause MOT.
The mid-life / Menopausal years can be extremely challenging. It is a busy period filled with conflicting demands of work & family life + the need to get a handle on your altered physiology that comes with the Menopause.
Whilst it seems like a burden to most, it is also a great opportunity to be selfish and take stock of our situation, working to develop positive, life-long skills and behaviours to enable you to be your absolute best.
Don't let your health take the backseat. Many Women go along suffering in silence, thinking that what they are experiencing is normal and something to 'deal with'. There is always something that can be done. Make the choice now & your future self will thank you.
