Dr Juliet McGrattan: Exercise Can Help You Feel More In Control During Menopause

For the final episode of season 10 of Period Story podcast, I’m so happy to share my conversation with Dr Juliet McGrattan, an international speaker, award winning author, educator and running expert.


In this episode, Dr Juliet shares:


  • Her experience of perimenopause and why she’s happy not to know when she goes through the day of menopause
  • Why imposter syndrome and anxiety were the main symptoms that told her she was perimenopausal
  • Why stopping caffeine was helpful for her
  • Why comparison is a trap when it comes to exercise
  • How exercise can be very powerful in menopause
  • Her tips for getting into running in midlife
  • A sneak peek into her new book about running and menopause
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Dr Juliet says it’s very easy to become resentful or fall out of love with your body at different times of life and that you can find yourself battling against it. She says that to feel more accepting of our bodies and to learn to work with them, we need to ask ourselves, “what can I do that will make things a little bit better?”.


Thank you, Dr Juliet!
