Musculoskeletal Health at Menopause: Episode 52 with Michelle Lyons

October is awareness month for both Menopause & Breast Cancer, and one area of overlap between these two issues is that of musculoskeletal health

Sometimes, when we think about musculoskeletal health at menopause, we might immediately think of osteoporosis. Although that's a really important issues, and one I'll be addressing in upcoming episodes, for today I want to talk about muscle & joint pain at menopause

Musculoskeletal dysfunction affects between 70 and 80% of women going through peri to post menopause, with 25% of women having severe symptoms, including rotator cuff dysfunction or gluteal tendinopathy (which affects 1 in 4 women in their 50's and is often misdiagnosed as hip arthritis)

In today's episode, I'll discuss the latest research around why this happens (spoilers: oestrogen, inflammation & sleep disruption) and of course the evidence based strategies that we can use to help women live well before, during & after menopause, and (of course!) where pelvic health at menopause fits into the discussion!

If you'd like to learn more, there's a whole module on Menopausal health, including lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and physical activity, in my online course 'Female Hormonal Health Masterclass' which you can find here, alongside my other online courses. You can find & follow my continuing adventure in needing out on women's health research & education on Instagram @michellelyons_muliebrity

As always, I'd be super grateful if you can subscribe, rate & review the podcast on either Spotify or Apple

Until next time, Onwards & Upwards, Mx #celebratemuliebrity
