What is menopause and how does this affect my health and fitness? Menopause is a natural life stage which is defined by not having a period for 12 consecutive months. Perimenopause is the phase before where our hormones fluctuate.

How can exercise improve my health and quality of life during this time ? Exercise can give our body the stimulus it needs to drive physiological processes to increase bone density, build muscle mass, grow our strength and improve coordination.

The changes we experience during this phase of our lives can feel daunting and like we don’t have control. Luckily, there is something we can do about it; through education we can take back the reins using exercise, nutrition and lifestyle approaches to be strong, achieve your goals and feel good whilst doing it.

Nerthus Personal Training can support you through programmes that are specific to menopause, and how you are experiencing symptoms, through evidence-based practices that truly fit in with your life - there’s no copy and paste approach. We will look at the full picture of exercise, nutrition and lifestyle.

Managing Menopause through Nutrition and Lifestyle

During perimenopause and menopause, it is important to consider how we support ourselves through nutrition and lifestyle, as well as exercise. At this time our bodies experience increased stress and inflammatory responses which affects our recovery, as well as greater sleep disturbance and stress caused by changing hormones.

Nerthus Personal training can help you with understanding your nutrition and lifestyle needs and applying truly actionable changes that have the most benefit for your symptoms.
