Series 5, episode 1: Lifestyle medicine…yes, it does work!

How simple tweaks and nudges to lifestyle choices can have a huge impact on helping to manage symptoms associated with the menopause. 

We invited Dr Barbara Phipps on to help us unpick what lifestyle medicine is all about. What are the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine which help support health & wellbeing and how they are all interconnected. It’s not a case of choosing one and discounting the others.  We discuss how making small steps with each of the pillars can be hugely important when going through the menopause, ones like nutrition and physical activity.

Tiny is mighty! Incremental steps become sustainable and tend not to be overwhelming. 

Listen to hear about Barbara’s ‘54321’ for helping to live in the moment and Heather’s advice of just giving your brain a rest.

Then there’s how socio-economic factors play a role, how CBT can be really helpful, what actually is the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and how to integrate lifestyle medicine into general practice…well worth a listen. 

We’ve decided to switch it up a bit this series so, our Myth busting moments have now been replaced with Nuggets of Knowledge!
