<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;What comes to mind when you hear the word hypnotherapy? Relaxation, a deep sleep, or perhaps you're more of a sceptic and imagining being taken into a trance like state? Well in this episode, I'm joined by experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist, Sally Garozzo, and we're going to explore the practice of hypnotherapy and hear about how it could ease menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, anxiety and sleep disturbances. Sally will help us to bust some myths about hypnotherapy, help us understand the benefits and learn exactly how it can help during the perimenopause and menopause years. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;As well as being an award winning clinical hypnotherapist and an advanced rapid transformational therapist, Sally Garozzo is also the founder of the Menopause Mindset Hypnosis collection, the world's only powerful set of hypnosis recordings, specifically for menopause symptoms. She also helps people with insomnia inside her Sleep Superpower Academy. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;01:36 What is hypnotherapy and how does it work?&lt;br/&gt;

Can hypnotherapy help with menopause symptoms? with Sally Garozzo

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Too often women living with disability are left out of the menopause and midlife women's health conversations, and as a result put their symptoms down to pre existing health conditions, not realising that they could be entering perimenopause or menopause. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;In this episode, I’ll be talking to Emma Livingstone about navigating the menopause with a disability.&lt;br/&gt; Emma Livingstone was born with cerebral palsy and had to give up work having seen a significant decline in her mobility in recent years, leading to several surgeries. It was her frustration at the lack of knowledge and understanding of cerebral palsy as a disability affecting adults that spurred her on to begin campaigning. And she founded Up, the adult cerebral palsy movement, to campaign for better support and services and give a voice to the adult cerebral palsy community.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Going through menopause with a disability, with Emma Livingstone

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Your pelvic floor is an incredibly important part of the body that very often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Incontinence, painful sex and constipation are all embarrassing symptoms of a weak pelvic floor. But on occasion, poor pelvic floor health can result in more serious issues such as prolapse. All of these issues are extremely common, particularly after pregnancy and childbirth. And they're absolutely treatable, but aren't openly discussed often enough. And many women suffer unnecessarily in silence rather than seek help. So I'm delighted to be able to speak today to author pelvic floor specialist and creator of the ABS system Kim Vopni. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Kim Vopni is a speaker and women's health educator known as the Vagina Coach. She is a certified fitness professional who became passionate about spreading information on pelvic health when she was pregnant with her first child. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How to manage pelvic prolapse in menopause, with Kim Vopni

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Why is resistance training so important as we age, and how can we fit it into our busy lives? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;In today's episode, I’m talking to personal trainer Kate Oakley, about how we can increase strength and protect our bones and joints and midlife, as well as finding ways to fit it into our day. Even if you only have five minutes to spare, we'll find out how the right kind of training can do more than just help you get through the challenges that come with menopause, but also be empowering and totally change your outlook on life. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Kate Oakley is the founder of Your Future Fit. She's always loved fitness and training, but it was a passion. She only turned into a career at the age of 50, after a 25 year career in HR, to help peri and postmenopausal women who are going through similar challenges to her. As a fully qualified personal trainer, Kate focuses on encouraging women to start with small habit changes to their exercise, gradually building up the consistency that is sustainable for the future. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;00:00 Intro&lt;br/&gt; 01:39 How exercise should change post-40&lt;br/&gt; 05:30 Why muscles break down as we age&lt;br/&gt;

Why resistance training is so important during midlife and menopause, with Kate Oakley

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Bone health and osteoporosis is often one of those forgotten symptoms of menopause. It's very easy for us to focus on the symptoms that are troubling us in the here and now like hot flushes or sleep issues or brain fog. And I totally get that we might not be in a place to give much thought to some of those longer term symptoms, and the ones you can't feel or see straight away like our bone health. So this episode is all about taking half an hour or so to give you the essentials on bone health and osteoporosis, so you know exactly what it's all about, and how we can reduce our risk of getting osteoporosis with some really practical tips. Joining me is Dr. Kate Bunyan. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Dr Kate Bunyan is the Medical Director at Stella, who are the experts who power our online menopause clinic, the Latte Lounge +. She has a special interest in women’s health and is a member of the British Menopause Society.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Kate is a regular guest in The Latte Lounge and always packs in so much helpful information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;00:00 Intro&lt;br/&gt; 01:40 Why is bone health important?&lt;br/&gt; 03:50 What is osteoporosis?&lt;br/&gt;
